LXQt is a bundle of software packages under development, with the aim of providing a complete desktop environment. It was formed from the merger of the LXDE and Razor-qt projects.
History
Dissatisfied with GTK+ 3,[2] Hong Jen Yee experimented with Qt in early 2013[3] and released the first version of a Qt-based PCManFM on 26 March 2013.[2] He clarified, though, that this means no departure from GTK+ in LXDE, saying "The Gtk+ and Qt versions will coexist". He later ported LXDE's Xrandr front-end to Qt.[4]
On 3 July 2013 Hong Jen Yee announced a Qt port of the full LXDE suite.[5] And on 21 July 2013, Razor-qt and LXDE announced that they decided to merge the two projects.[6][7] This merge means that the Gtk+ and the Qt versions will coexist at first but that, eventually, the GTK version will be dropped and all efforts will be focused on the Qt port.[6] The merger of LXDE-Qt and Razor-qt was renamed LXQt,[8] and the first release, version 0.7.0, was made available on 7 May 2014.[9] Version 0.8.0, bringing with it full Qt 5 compatibility, was made available on 13 October 2014.[10]
LXQt version 0.9 was released in February 2015, featuring heavy internal cleanups and refactorings. All compatibility with Qt 4 was dropped, requiring Qt 5 & KDE Frameworks 5. Qt 5.3 is now the minimum required version.[11]
LXQt version 0.10 was released in November 2015.[12]
LXQt version 0.11 was released on 24 September 2016.[1]
Software components
LXQt consists of many modular components, some of them depending on Qt and KDE Frameworks 5.[13]
