A  pre-release snapshot of Qt 6.0 has been released via the Qt installer for testing.

First Qt 6.0 Snapshot Available

Qt 6.0 pre-release snapshot available via the Qt installer. While Qt 5.15 LTS release is just out, we have also been working for some time now towards the next major version of Qt. Today, we are releasing a snapshot of Qt 6.0 for the first time. While we are still very early in the release process, and far from having the feature freeze, the first snapshot is offering binaries for a limited set of platforms and focused on the essential Qt modules. Given that we are approximately six months from the planned release date for Qt 6.0, we cannot guarantee all parts of the pre-release snapshot will work as intended.

In the first snapshot, we are providing binaries for desktop platforms only. The mobile platforms and embedded Linux are being worked on; therefore, to test those you need to build from source. Qt 6.0 requires C++17 support from the compiler and we are in general focusing on fairly recently released compilers. If you want to use an older compiler, Qt 5.15 is the way to go.

The first snapshot contains the following modules:

Qt Core
Qt GUI
Qt Widgets
Qt Network
Qt QML
Qt Quick
Qt Quick Controls
Qt SVG
Qt Network Authorization
Qt SQL
Qt Test
…and a few other items
