Installation Configuration

Hello, I'm learning Laravel at the moment. Before I want to start my project, I want to get familiar with Laravel. I'm at Laravel 4 right now, and I love it. However, I read that Laravel 5 will be out around January/February 2015. But how compatible are Laravel 4 and 5? I really don't want to learn everything from scratch, when Laravel 5 is out. And can I easily migrate an existing Laravel 4 project to Laravel 5? Then I don't need to worry :)

Very different yet similar. I just needed to rewrite pagination to work and the auth is a little different. But L5 is just dev now, things will change. It's fairly safe to say is you know L4, L5 shouldn't be a huge challenge to adapt to.

I am currently migrating my simple app into L5 because of some of it's awesome new features and till now I haven't come far (at it for 30 mins now) xD it takes its time to get used to the new structure.
