Description

We are planning to move on 5.0 from 4.0.3 for some reason. The rules we use in 4.0.3 include ET rules and some customized rules, and they work well in the old version. Do ET and customized rules in 4.0.3 will also work in 5.0? We don't want to change our rules actually. If they work, that's will be good news for us.

Can someone help me out? Thanks.

Unless you have very old rules with old deprecated keywords I don't expect any issues.
But the best way would be to use the officall 5.0.1 release and test it. If there are any issues with the rules you would get some warnings and can work on those to be fixed.
