Ideally the appstream metadata would also contain a package release history in a <releases>
<release version="2.0" date="2024-01-01" />
<release version="1.0" date="2023-01-01" />
</releases>...Part of the process for releasing new versions of the package would be to insert a new Alternatively, a separate XML file can contain the (presumably auto-generated) release info, referenced from the main file with: <releases type="external"

Not strictly required because <anything>.desktop is still supported as a legacy value, but when converting component IDs to reverse-DNS format, they suggest:
You may also consider to update the name of the accompanying .desktop file to follow the latest version of the Desktop-Entry specification and use a rDNS name for it as well. In any case, do not forget to mention the new desktop-entry in a
<launchable/>tag for this component to keep the application launchable from software centers and the .desktop file data associated with the metainfo data.
So the .desktop file could ideally be renamed to io.github.lxqt.pcmanfm-qt.desktop, to follow the latest FreeDesktop Desktop-Entry spec (and also be more in line with appstream).
