I'm actively using QLC+v5 in production and have worked through a lot of issues through the official forum. The official Linux release is an AppImage and the developer will not support source builds due to resource constraints.The reason that it shares a single GIT repository for both versions is because the underlying engine is the same for both versions, though there are some feature enhancements in v5.
There is a feature in V5 called Palettes, which is an amazing way to build functions with very little repetition. The reason that I used it in early production is that I needed a duplicate universe, which is simply done in V5 through a loopback feature.
I highly recommend using the AppImage development builds at this time. The latest build being Dec 20th, instead of the last official release of Nov 5th. There are still bugs, but they are being aggressively addressed. While this git build should get you there, you are definitely better off using the AppImage until bug releases slow down, if you want to get support on the forum.
That said, AppImage or AUR build, v5 is now quite usable if you are using a development build. Most of the remaining issues that I'm seeing are UI related and not functional.

5 is a complete redesign and honestly is kind of buggy right now due to it being so new. many people have used QLC4 (especially in production environments) and likely will until 5 is completely stable. Also, when building QLC5, the resulting desktop file points to qlcplus as opposed to qlcplus-qml (the name of the new binary). I dont know if the pkgbuild can be modified to workaround this upstream issue.

Is there any benefit from having both 4 and 5?

Can you split this package into two packages? (Upstream really should do this as well)
There should be a qlcplus4-git and qlcplus5-git.
Now for the good stuff. qlcplus4 and qlcplus5 share the same github repository and both can be built from the master branch. The way to switch between the two is by using the -Dqmlui=ON cmake option. That is why this package builds QLC4 right now.
Also in order to build QLC5, you need to add 'qt6-3d' to DEPENDS. Otherwise the program will fail to build or launch.
Hope this helps!

This is building v4 instead of v5. Any idea why?
