The Qt toolkit has merged support for Wayland's color-management-v1 protocol to replace the former xx-color-management-v4 protocol shipped by this open-source toolkit. The change was merged for Qt 6.11 development but also back-ported for the Qt 6.10 series.

Qt 6.10 and Qt 6.11 development now support Wayland's color-management-v1 in place of their former usage of the experimental xx-color-management protocol. It took five years and until just this past February for [1]the Wayland color management and HDR protocol to be merged upstream . And then in the time since for the Qt developers to ensure their color-management-v1 implementation was up to par.

The color-management-v1 protocol is detailed at [2]Wayland.app for those wondering any of the specifics.

[3]This merge yesterday landed the color-management-v1 in Qt while [4]this merge cherry-picked it for Qt 6.10. This should be found then for the upcoming Qt 6.10.1 point release of this current toolkit stable series.
