The Qt Company launched a new major version of its software development platform, Qt 6.0. It has been re-architected to be a foundation for the future with a focus on productivity.
Qt is used by leading companies to design, develop, and deploy their cross-platform applications and graphical user interfaces. Qt lives in desktop applications, embedded systems, and mobile devices in consumer electronics, vehicles, medical devices, and industrial automation systems across the world.
Productivity platform for the future
Qt 6 is built with productivity as its cornerstone to close the gap between the increasing amount of software requirements rising with the exponential growth of the IoT and the stagnant growth of available software developers. Productivity-enhancing tools and APIs empower teams to increase their throughput and deliver large cost reductions and new business opportunities to Qt customers and users.
Next-generation user experiences
A new graphics architecture and programming language improvements make for more powerful, flexible, and leaner software. The tools within Qt have been unified and made easier to use by developers and designers alike, enhancing collaboration within cross-functional teams to build consistently branded 2D and 3D applications.
Limitless scalability
In Qt 6, the same code can be used on any hardware of any size, from microcontrollers to supercomputers, and on any operating system – even bare metal (without an operating system). Even upcoming architectures are covered by Qt 6, so switching to a new platform mid-project becomes an opportunity instead of a nightmare.
