The complete qBittorrent 3.2.0 changelog is huge - for a complete list, see THIS page.
With this release, qBittorrent no longer supports Qt versions older than 4.8.0 and libtorrent 0.15.x. Because Ubuntu 12.04 has libtorrent-rasterbar 0.15.10, the official qBittorrent PPA doesn't provide packages for this Ubuntu version.
Also, it's important to mention that the packages available in the official qBittorrent Ubuntu PPA are built with Qt4 for now.
