There hasn't been any new work done on the widgets, besides general bugfixing. 
They've been in Done state for going on two years now.

However, the low-level performance improvements done in QtCore and QtGui 
benefit desktop and widgets too. Base classes are more efficient, there are new 
features there (like the JSON parser, MIME type support, etc.), the QPA 
architecture helped clean up the whole GUI support, support for C++11 
constructs, and so forth.
