From their blog post (http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/the-l-is-for-lollipop):

With that, some words of wisdom:

1. This is an Android 5.0.1 Lollipop-based release - update your third party addons to ensure compatibility
2. The CM backupscript.sh in recovery will ignore and remove incompatible applications from your system partition (these are usually non-CM apps that users have opted to install). You must install a compatible app (or app pack) to regain that functionality
3. You can flash CM12 nightlies directly from CM11 M12 or CM 11 nightlies (no need to wipe), provided you read and followed items 1 and 2
4. Once on CM12 nightlies, you cannot downgrade back to CM11 without wiping – if you are thinking of just exploring the release, then take a backup of your existing installation if you want to go back to it.
5. You’ll need an L compatible recovery

The new CM12 releases flash a new modem that's not backwards compatible with CM11/11s. To revert, you have to find and flash your old modem or get it from the zip file at the bottom of this page. A nandroid will not backup or restore your modem.

Also, I keep seeing compatibility issues with TWRP, but not with CWM. I use the latter to avoid trouble.
