Nope. Build version 5.0-10000 and onwards will be published instead. Dolphin 6.0 will come when the developers (or any one responsible for deciding doing that) feel like doing so. Honestly, I don't think there are that many eager for Dolphin 6.0 just yet... Just thinking of the feature freeze makes most of them shiver, I suppose, brrr. There was a 3 year gap between 4.0.2 and 5.0. So it should be too soon for 6.0 yet (as of now 5.0 was released 1 year and 9 months ago). But again, it is up to those responsible for 6.0. I wouldn't be excited yet an imminent release of 6.0 just yet unless through an official announcement.
