LXQt 0.8 was under development for almost half a year and besides the full Qt5 compatibility they are also planning to use the KDE Frameworks 5 libraries to replace some of their own "sub-par" libraries. LXQt 0.8 also introduces a new lxqt-admin component for offering basic administrative tools, new themes, improved support for multiple displays, RGBA transparent support when compositing, lxqt-config-monitor has replaced lxqt-config-randr, improvements to PCManFM-Qt, LXQt panel improvements, support for Compton, and lots of performance improvements and bug-fixes.
Those wishing to learn more about the big LXQt 0.8 update or to try the Qt5 desktop yourself, find out more via the LXDE channel release announcement.
