Release LXQt 2.0.0

Monday, 15 April, 2024

The LXQt team announces the release of LXQt 2.0.0, the Lightweight Qt Desktop Environment.

Highlights

General

- LXQt 2.0.0 is based on Qt ≥ 6.6. For supporting styling and LXQt 
  File Dialog with Qt5-based apps, libqtxdg-3.12.0, lxqt-qtplugin-1.4.1 
  and libfm-qt-1.4.0 can be installed alongside their Qt6-based 
  versions in LXQt 2.0.0.

- PCManFM-Qt’s desktop module, LXQt Runner and LXQt Desktop 
  Notifications are completely ready to be used under Wayland 
  compositors which support the “layer shell protocol”, 
  like LabWC, Wayfire, kwin_wayland, Hyprland, Sway,…

- Wayland will be the main target for LXQt 2.1.0, as Qt6 was for 
  LXQt 2.0.0. The components which are not ready for Wayland yet 
  include ScreenGrab, LXQt Global Shortcuts, LXQt Panel’s task-bar 
  and keyboard indicator (but LXQt Panel can be used under 
  Wayland without those plugins), some input settings, and 
  settings of monitor, power button, and screen locker. However, 
  most Wayland compositors have tools that can be used instead of 
  them, such that an LXQt-Wayland session is already possible for 
  advanced users.

- LXQt Panel has a new default application menu called Fancy Menu, 
  featuring “Favorites”, “All Applications”, and an improved search.
    
- QTerminal is the only app whose Qt6 port will be released separately – 
  complications were encountered due to the removal of legacy 
  encodings from Qt6. Until then, its Qt5 version 1.4.0 could be used.
