5.0.0-M5 hasn't been released yet. Its only available as Snapshot. Releases will be announced via website and mailing list. There will be also discussions and vote's on the dev mailing list to discuss releases ready.
M4 is not even recommended for Prod usage yet. The "M" in the version number stands for beta. Although I may understand people want to use it since it doesn't require Flash. Re upgrade process: See: https://openmeetings.apache.org/Upgrade.html There is a backup and re-import feature. If you want to migrate users/rooms/files from one installation to another. However if you don't mind loosing some of the user generated data you can also simply start a new instance.
