> The LXDE and Razor-qt teams are proud to announce LXQt 0.7.0, the
> first release of LXQt, the Qt Lightweight Desktop Environment. This
> beta release is considered a stable continuation of the Razor desktop.
>
> It has been almost a year since the Razor-qt project and the LXDE-Qt
> project decided to merge. Since then, the LXQt desktop has been under
> active development by 13 developers and dozens of contributors and
> translators.
>
> "The Linux community sees many forks but never any merges."
> The merge has been praised by a lot of members of this community.
> The Maui Project has joined our efforts in creating a better Qt
> desktop and together we hope to focus less on our differences and more
> on what we share.
> The KDE Project has, in their efforts in building the modular KDE
> Frameworks, opened new doors for Qt developers working with desktop
> libraries. KF5 libraries may soon power some LXQt components!
> In the same spirit, I would like other desktops to consider this an
> open invitation to come and talk to us about how we could benefit from
> each other's work.
>
> Since the last release of Razor-qt (0.5.2), the desktop has had
> serious overall polishing and hundreds of bug fixes, as well as a host
> of new features including:
> - The inclusion of PCManFM-Qt, the Qt port of LXDE's desktop and file
> manager
> - An all-new modular architecture, allowing users and maintainers to
> easily swap out components of the desktop for third party apps.
> - Several improvements to the system settings along with the
> inclusion of screens management, keyboard settings and file
> associations.
> - Improvements to cursor and appearance settings
> - Improved support for systemd-based setups
> - Ongoing work on Qt 5 compatibility. Most of our components already
> build on Qt 5!
> - Ongoing work on Wayland support. Some components, including
> PCManFM-Qt, can run on Wayland if QtWayland is available.
> - A new obconf-qt tool, for Openbox users (released separately)
> - A new compton-conf tool, for Compton users (released separately)
> - Several performance improvements
> - Experimental Raspberry Pi support
> - Partial FreeBSD support
>
> Existing LXDE users will be happy to hear that the GTK version of LXDE
> will not be discontinued for the time being. While several developers
> have shifted their focus on LXQt, classic LXDE will continue being
> maintained as long as there are developers still working on it.
