definitely use 0.5. We're already halfway through getting 0.6 ready and the release schedule of 0.4 is now very infrequent. There's very little in the book that doesn't work for 0.5 except for the signature for custom types. Other methods that are deprecated will issue descriptive warnings. Make sure you go through at least the ORM tutorial on the site to get a feel for the "0.5 way". In particular our support for MSSQL, a very tricky database in general, is loads better in 0.5 (0.5.2 especially) and will be even more so in 0.6.
