Qt 6.8 highlights:

• Qt on Wayland/Linux has a new window decoration style that is used on GNOME and offers similar styling to it.

• Qt on Wayland now uses the new xdg-dialog-v1 protocol along with various other Wayland enhancements.

• The Qt Graphs module is no longer considered a tech preview feature but is now fully supported.

• The Qt GRPC module has also graduated from its tech preview phase.

• The Qt GUI module now has full multi-view rendering support within the QRhi interface. Multi-view is also working with Vulkan 1.1 implementations – lower than their previous Vulkan 1.2 requirement.

• Qt Network's QDnsLookup has added support to send DNS over TLS as well as support for TLS Association Records.

• Qt Quick has made all items and materials compatible with multi-view rendering, support for automatically performing multi-sample resolve, and other additions.

• Qt Quick 3D is shipping a tech preview of XR support for HMDs supporting OpenXR and the Apple Vision Pro headset.

• Improved shadow rendering with Qt Quick 3D for better quality.

• Qt Quick VectorImage allows for rendering vector graphics directly using Qt Quick with hardware acceleration and no pre-rasterization. Currently a static subset of the SVG Tiny 1.2 profile is supported.
