I am building a website for a new project in January and will be using EasyBlog.

If I install the current version of EasyBlog will there be a normal auto update to EasyBlog5 or will it require a fresh install due to the many new features and code changes?

I can wait for EB5 (schedule it to the end of the project) if it is a better route to take instead of updating from the current version so it is not an issue, more of a request for clarification.
