Qt 6.12 is now available as the newest version of the Qt6 toolkit and also serving as a Long Term Support (LTS) release. Qt 6.12 promotes the Qt Canvas Painter module out of a technology preview state into a fully-maintained/supported Qt module. Qt 6.12 also saw a number of improvements to the Qt core code, Qt Canvas Painter can be used for rendering 2D graphs with the Qt Graphs module, client-side request compression for Qt GRPC, indirect rendering support for QRhi, Vulkan VK_EXT_device_fault support for QRhi, and many other additions. For those interested in Qt for AR/VR use, the Qt Quick 3D XR module can now be configured for mono view configuration to enable Qt Quick 3D XR applications to run on 2D XR devices such as augmented reality (AR) glasses. Qt 6.12 also now supports the HarmonyOS platform popular in CHina from IoT and automotive use to PCs and tablets. Some other changes with Qt 6.12 include support for hot-reloading QML and StyleKit entering Qt Labs as a new module for a QML-based styling API to style both Widgets and Qt Quick from a single source.
