3.5 was intended to be a final release in the 3 code base with none of
the major changes in the kernel and other places that were introduced
in 4.0. It is intended primarily for those who, for some special
reason can't/don't want to go to the 4.0 code base.

5.0 is "current". It is where new stuff is tried out before being moved
to the stable branch or (if not appropriate to stable) until 5.0 is
released. There is no 5.0-Release at this time nor will there be for
probably another year or so.
