Qt Beyond 6.8
summary
Qt 6.8 ships as the next LTS with concrete changes: apps can request dark or light mode, better font controls, improved SVG/vector rendering, Qt Quick now talks to the native macOS menu bar and treats pop-ups as top-level windows, and item views/layouts gain desktop-grade behaviors; Qt Graphs and networking APIs (including gRPC and Protobuf support) exit tech preview; multimedia adds programmatic IO and experimental Wayland screen capture. Roadmap beyond 6.8 targets multi-language QML bindings, a packaged Qt Quick runtime, tighter widget–Qt Quick focus via QWindow, a hardware-accelerated 2D painter, XR targets (MetaQuest, VisionOS), and SBOM/CRA and CI work for security.
