I'm also very curious about this one. Where can we check the roadmap and/or the changelog?

Just quick reply:

Master branch (a.k.a  5.0.0-alpha) is development branch e.g. things there could be broken (e.g. build system or compatibility) ;-) 
Current stable branch/version is 4.1 where  most patches from master were backported. If I remember correctly: differences between master and  4.1 are:
  • source code structure
  • new version of C++ standard is required,
  • dropped support of cppan
  • code clean up
  • there are some changes that breaks binary compatibility between 4.x version (that why it is marked as 5.x). 
  • and of course there are some more patches in mean time (committed after 4.1 release), but I am not sure if there was something critical.

So those how are looking for stability and backward compatibility should use 4.1.
Those who wish to improve tesseract should use master branch.
