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.

"Any medium powerful enough to extend man's reach is powerful enough to topple
his world. To get the medium's magic to work for one's aims rather than
against them is to attain literacy."
