While the website[1] is announcing

    2019/09/18 - QtiPlot 1.0.0-rc10 release available. New features and improvements: 

(without mentioning a Qt 5 port explicitly :-() the download area[2]
does not contain any source download of this.  It seems upstream changed
to a closed source model since you can only download binaries with
restricted functionality or you need to buy a license.

I've found several clones of qtiplot at Github, one of these[3] seems to
have some interesting patches others seem to be dedicated for certain
distributions but the latest commits seem to be aged for all and I have
not found any Qt 5 related comments (after a **quick** view).

I admit its a shame but I personally can not spent any time on a Qt 5
port of the existing code.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
