Will support for odata 8 be included in the 5.0 release ?
Short answer - no.
OData 8 is another massive overhaul of OData. I considered it, but things are quite different. Furthermore, the unofficial release date for OData likely won't come before the first of the year.
A number of people will not adopt pre-release versions for production work. It would seem it's better to release and prepare for OData 8. It's currently very rough. I've had some discussions with the team so I hope there will be a good pairing by release. There will likely be a pre-release version, but I don't know when yet.
