Honestly, on the machines I'm using, I installed 5.2 and
haven't updated
since 5.3 was released because I didn't want to rebuild and re-test all of
my stuff, but my understanding of the following is that the upgrades are
not completely compatible:
http://upstream.rosalinux.ru/versions/qt.html
Fwiw, Qt upstream takes both api and abi stability pretty seriously
(official public interfaces). If you experience any concrete
incompatibilities after upgrading, it's arguably a bug worth fixing.
