Qt Today and Tomorrow- The Building Blocks and Path to the Future
summary
Qt announces Qt 5.6 as a 3-year LTS with full Windows 10 and High‑DPI support, 50,000 downloads/week and a ~800,000‑person community. Releases add Qt WebEngine (Chromium) and updated Qt 3D/Canvas3D previews, new Serial Bus API for CAN, Qt Location and a Qt Speech preview, plus a Qt compositor API and improved Qt Creator tooling. Qt 5.7 moves the baseline to modern C++ (VC2012 / C++11 subset) and targets final Qt3D, tighter embedded controls and smaller‑footprint IoT exploration.
