Not all of the modules of Qt5 have been ported yet to Qt6 so some features may remain missing until Qt 6.1, 6.2, or later. Among those yet to be ported modules are Qt Multimedia, Qt Bluetooth, and Qt Virtual Keyboard. The Qt Company is transparent in acknowledging that Qt 6.0 isn't as feature complete as the current Qt 5.15 toolkit.

Then why the fark was Qt 6.0 given the green light to release?

Pretty sure that's been mentioned quite a few times, should be sorted for the first LTS but gets folks porting their code to Qt6 now

That was the reason given for Qt 3.3 --> Qt 4.0 and it caused problems for everybody who were under the impression that Qt 4.0 was a complete release.

You really can't figure that out on your own?

Does that mean kdelibs 6.0 is starting now?

I might have missed some things...

QtBluetooth ?!

A bluetooth stack in a GUI Toolkit? There might be reasons and I even expect some of those to be sane, nonetheless thats clearly not following the KISS principle. If I ever see some guy using Devuan with KDE installed, i'll just nod my head.

It's not bluetooth stack. It's an API so you can use bluetooth with windows, mac, linux, android, iOS, regardeless of THEIR bluetooth stacks.
It's the same as many Qt components, not reimplementations but wrappers around OS specific stuff with a common API so you can do multiplatform applications.

Qt is such a piece of shit lately.
The offline installers for Qt6 are just the source code.
The online installer requires you to sign up with their company.
What A Joke.

So what does it mean for KDE??
