• Notifications: Brushed up notification templates are now based on Freemarker, which provides great customization abilities. Also, Email notifier now uses HTML for email messages.

• Code coverage in Maven runner: code coverage based on IDEA coverage engine is now available for those who use Maven runner.
• Time zone detection: you can enable time zone auto-detection, which is handy for geographically dispersed teams.
• Enhanced .NET support:
  • Added support for .NET 4.0, Visual Studio 2010 and TFS 2010.
  • All solution runners (except 2003) were merged into Visual Studio (sln) runner, which includes support for Visual Studio 2010.
  • NUnit tests UI is available in MSBuild runner.
  • NAnt 0.90 alpha 1 is supported.
  • Added support for NUnit 2.5.3 and 2.5.4.
  • Improved .NET Coverage reporting
  • and more.
• Artifacts publishing: TeamCity agent now is able to produce zip and tar.gz artifacts from a bunch of files and upload the resulting archives to the server.
• Java detection on agents: New plugin for agent detects installed Java (JDK and JRE) and sets corresponding environment variables.
• Improved IDE integration: remote run with custom properties or environment variables available in all IDE integration plugins, plus each plugin contains new features.
• Moreover multiple UI improvements, new tabs, actions, filters and a bunch of features – this release contains more than 500 various  improvements.

By the way, now upgrade has become easier – you still need to make a backup, but since TeamCity 5.1 you can store your jdbc jars under the TEAMCITY_DATA_PATH/lib/jdbc directory – hopefully this will save you some time.
