Qt 6.11 Beta 1 is out on-schedule with the code having entered its feature freeze and code branching earlier this month. This toolkit is working toward the stable Qt 6.11 stable debut in March.

Qt 6.11 Beta 1 is out today with three new modules: Qt Canvas Painter, Qt OpenAPI, and Qt TaskTree. The Qt Canvas Painter module provides accelerated 2D painting for Qt Quick and QRhi render targets. Qt OpenAPI provides an extension of the upstream Open API generator to generate Qt HTTP clients while Qt TraskTree provides a declarative way to compose and execute async task workflows.

Qt 6.11 also adds various new APIs to Qt Core, new features for Qt Graphs, Qt Lottie animations now support path fill rules, new Qt Quick 3D features, Qt Quick 3D XR now supports OPenXR 1.1.49, and Qt Quick VectorImage now supports SVG masks and other SVG features. Qt 6.11 also moves away from direct RDRAND/RDSEED usage .

Qt 6.11 Beta 1 downloads and more details via Qt.io . Next up is a second beta release of Qt 6.11 planned for mid-January. That second beta will be followed by a third and final beta around mid-February and a release candidate to end out February. If all goes well Qt 6.11.0 will be out around 17 March.
