Qt 5.6 Officially Released

Written by Michael Larabel in Qt on 16 March 2016 at 08:01 AM EDT. 8 Comments

Qt 5.6 has finally cleared the door.

Lars Knoll announced the release today of Qt 5.6.0 as a long-term support release and offering many improvements from Windows 10 support to HiDPI improvements to major improvements to the WebEngine, Qt Location support, improved C++11 compatibility, and more.

Qt 5.6 was supposed to be released last December but is finally being released today. Meanwhile, Qt 5.7 is already in alpha with plans to release at the end of May as the two release cycles ended up happening concurrently once Qt 5.6 began being faced by set-backs.

More details on Qt 5.6 can be found via this blog post.
