I have started working on it in the course of the 2.80 port, but I consider it a separate task.
There is an issue here where I track the progress: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... issues/272

The 2.80 release will be experimental and not production ready. I'll create a list with the known issues for you.

That's great news!
The 2.8 port looks so promising!
Thank you for your work.

Woooow, great news! Thank You a lot!

This is so exciting! Thank you very much.

I'm with bated breath!

The 2.80 testbuild is now available here:

I also recorded a video showing how to render a Cycles scene in this testbuild: https://youtu.be/kglbpZl6Sck

Great! Will there be a 2.80 build for Linux as well?

Not for now. Quote from the release text:
Unfortunately, due to the complicated setup required to create a 2.80 build of our addon, we only offer a build for 64bit Windows with OpenCL. The future final release of the 2.80 port will of course be built for Windows and Linux again (and maybe macOS).

For a Linux build you need to compile LuxCore against Python 3.7 (the same version Blender 2.80 uses) and package it with BlendLuxCore's latest master.

You can try to download the .zip for Windows and replace the .dll/.exe with Linux LuxCore v2.3beta3 executable and .so files. In the past was possible to mix mismatching python versions on Linux. It may or may not work (i.e. use at your own risk, a crash is very likely).

Is it possible 2.8 with No Opencl version?

You can install Intel OpenCL CPU driver so you will be able to use the OpenCL version even without a GPU.
