Been running rc4 and 5 for a while now and can report my Intel HD4000 graphics appear to be Working As Intended again after that 4-alarm i915 dumpster fire that started on 5.5 and I think even 5.4 some time back. Later versions of 5.5 as well, but I'm just going to stay the heck away from the odd minor-numbered ones I think, maybe some psychological vestige still remaining of when they were the development branches to just throw anything at them and see what sticks :P 2.5 was a real hot mess as well for a while IIRC
