For the most part, no. That is not true at all. I'll post it here because lazy.
I doubt Hompo will ever change the Toris joint system and how it looks. not so drastically, at least. It would be a full reconstruction of Toribashes Gameplay. Don't believe that fake shit until you see it with your own client man.
Anyways, so far 4.95 is working fine. I would enjoy a scrollbar re-color to black. Standalone client is white along with the background.
