The main new feature in Roller 5.0 is "media blogging" which is what we call a set of features that are designed to make it easier for you to upload, manage and blog images, video files and audio files – media files. These new features were added by Tanuja Varkanthe and Ganesh Mathrubootham for a 2008/2009 computer science project project class at San Jose State Univ.
With Roller 5, when you upload files you can add title information, tags and Roller will automatically generate a thumbnail for your image.
Below you can see the new media file upload page and the metadata you can now specify per upload:

Open ID support
With Roller 5 it is possible to allow uses to authenticate with OpenID credentials. You can setup your Roller system to allow only OpenID logins or to allow your users to login by username and password or via OpenID.
This new feature was added by Tatyana Tokareva for a 2008 Google Summer of Gode project and was implemnented using Spring security's built in support for OpenID.
Below is a screenshot that shows what the login page looks like when both username/password and OpenID logins are allowed:
