What is the difference between ASP.NET vNext and ASP.NET 5?

I noticed that MSDN as well as the main ASP.NET website uses these names interchangeably so I consider them having the same meanings. My original guess is that ASP.NET 5 can be easily confused with ASP.NET MVC 5 so the Microsoft team decided to give it another name, something more unique. That was how vNext was originated. Am I close to my assumption? Is there a significant difference between ASP.NET vNext and ASP.NET 5.

They're the same thing. ASP.NET vNext was just the code word they used to describe ASP.NET 5 before they decided on calling it ASP.NET 5. They're not supposed to say vNext anymore, any new documentation should refer to it as ASP.NET 5. Of course, since a lot of documentation already exists referring to it as vNext, we'll still be seeing it for quite a while.

It has nothing to do with the version number of MVC or even the .NET Framework.
