Can I safely upgrade to 5.0.2 from 4.4.9? Is there a high probability it will break existing sites?

Is there a easy and reliable rollback procedure if things go wrong?

Why 5.0.2 now?

The latest version is way beyond that with a myriad of security fixes posted.

Of course, with the very latest versions you'll need to alter your scripts to remove a number of deprecated functions; "ereg" changes to "preg_match" for example.

Sorry I meant PHP version 5.2.0 or greater.

I would like to install vbulletin which requires 5.2.0 or greater.
