Qt 6.0 released

([Development] Dec 8, 2020 15:16 UTC (Tue) (corbet))


[1]Version 6.0 of the Qt interface framework is available. " Qt 6.0 is a starting point for the next generation of Qt. It is not yet as feature-complete as 5.15, but we will fill the gaps within the months to come. We've done a lot of important work in laying out the foundations of the next version of Qt. Many of those changes might not be immediately visible, but I firmly believe they will help keep Qt competitive in the years to come. " Changes include moving to C++17, the completion of the Unicode transition, a move away from OpenGL to a new internal rendering interface, additional 3D capabilities, and more.
