About this tag
Qt 6 is the latest major version of the Qt application framework, and discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight its adoption in open-source projects and its impact on platform support. MAME has moved to Qt 6 as part of its transition to C++20, dropping Windows 7 support in the process. VLC 3.0.22 RC1 includes compilation support for modern Qt versions, enabling features like a native dark palette and Windows ARM64 builds.
