More details on LXQt 2.0 are available from [https://lxqt-project.org/release/2024/04/15/release-lxqt-2-0-0/ the upstream release announcement]. == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == Fedora includes the latest version of LXQt and one less desktop depending on Qt 5, which is EOL. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Upgrade all related LXQt packages * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12207 #12207] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: N/A == Upgrade/compatibility impact == Users will be upgraded from LXQt 1.x to 2.0, though no major configuration or user experience changes are expected. == How To Test == Install using the spin, netinstall or DVD. Or upgrade from older release. Then users should be able to test by doing any daily work. == User Experience == The user experience is not expected to change, other than it may be even lighter on system resources than before due to the change from Qt 5 to Qt 6. == Dependencies == None outside of this Change. == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Roll back the LXQt packages. It will require an Epoch bump. * Contingency deadline: Beta freeze * Blocks release? No. == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Release Notes == LXQt in Fedora has been upgraded to version 2.0, built on Qt 6. -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
