Yes, that's true. There will be no upgrade pack from 4.* to 5.0.
All third party add-ons will also be incompatible with version 5.0.
One more thing that is very important is the knowledge accumulated by X-Cart users/developers. This knowledge is very important consideration for us. If you know how X-Cart v4 works, it will be easier to build a store on v4.
Keeping in mind the amount of changes between v4.* and v5.*, we believe that some of the clients will decide to stick with X-Cart v4.*
That's we we decided to release X-Cart v4.4, bringing some of the upcoming improvements to v4 branch, closer to the existing users.
Database upgrade from v4 to v5 will be available. It may be released with some delay, though.
PS: We will soon release an early alpha of the platform that will grow to become X-Cart v5. As of today, it still has lot less features than X-Cart v4. The good thing about that platform is that it has some major technical improvements that will make upgrades easier, provide a better CMS functionality and one more thing, to be announced later
