Any updates on Qt3d? The only commits from the last months are compatibility and material updates: https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qt3d.git/log/
@Kelteseth: One important item compared to Qt 6.0 for those using binaries of Qt 3D and other additional libraries is reverting away from the source code delivery approach used with Qt 6.0 (to similar approach as we had with Qt 5). In Qt 6.1 release there are quite a lot new features for the Qt Quick 3D, but for the Qt 3D the Qt 6.1 is mostly providing fixes and improvements to the existing functionality.
Seen from the outside, Qt3D looks really dead. There haven't been any relevant commits for months. Many have projects based on it, it will be interesting to know if the bugs will be fixed and new features added, or if it is time to move on to another solution.
Great news! Is there any information about what changes are planned to go in 6.2 for the multimedia and Qt Quick Dialog plugin?
There seems to be an issue with qwidget.h where
QWidget::isTopLevel()
definition unlike the declaration is not located within#if QT_DEPRECATED_SINCE(6, 1)
block so building fails whenQT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE
is set to 6.1.0. See hyperlink and hyperlink. It seems the error was fixed in hyperlink but for some reason it is not integrated in the released version.@milsav: Fix is already successfully merged to 6.1 branch so it will be present in Qt 6.1.1.
Great news! Will QtLocation be included in 6.2?
@Государство: Qt Location is one of the few remaining modules that is not planned to be available with Qt 6.2. It has a dependency to OpenGL and thus would need a bigger amount of work to fully benefit from the new graphics architecture of Qt 6. No estimate at the moment on when this will be available.
Congratulations on this milestone, lots of heavy lifting !!
I wanted to ask about Qt Charts, in 6.1 they still use OpenGL acceleration, is this planned to change in 6.2 release or is there a longer-term view ?
@Mark: For now we opted to make a direct port (with the OpenGL dependency) and this is intended to be the basis of Qt Charts with Qt 6.2 as well.
When will PySide 6.1 be available on PyPi?
Hey Alexander! Hopefully within this week :)
Awesome! I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Does Qt6 support mac m1?
