cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/44893731 [https://lemmy.ml/post/44893731] > The 6.11 release for Qt [https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.11-released] Framework is now available, with improved performance, newly supported techniques and capabilities on graphics, connectivity and languages, not to mention a whole new approach to asynchronous C++ coding. > > - Hardware-Accelerated 2D Rendering: A new module, Qt Canvas Painter, based on the HTML Canvas 2D Context, provides performance & productivity gains. > - 3D Improvements: New rendering techniques Screen Space Global Illumination (SSGI) as an option for lightmap baking, and Screen Space Reflections (SSR). Also imrovements on the Temporal Anti-aliasing algorithm with motion vectors. New user-defined render passes for post-processing effects, color picking, layer masks, etc. directly in QML. > - Interactive Graphs: You can now implement custom graphs where a user-defined delegate renders each data point. There’s a new Qt example, the Wind Turbine Dashboard, and many improvements, e.g. new ways to style line graphs, and multi-axis support on 3D graphs. > - Declarative Approach to C++: Qt Task Tree brings a whole new approach to asynchronous coding and C++ API design in Qt. In addition, various APIs have been unified to allow adapting any asynchronous task to work with the new module. > - Other Improvements: Improvements on vector graphics, controls, and accessibility. Connecting to web servicers is now easier with the new module, Qt OpenAPI. Navigating in an IDE between QML and C++, and making data available from C++ backend code to Qt Quick have gotten easier. A wealth of other improvements, such as for multimedia, Android, and API documentation.
