April 2026 Newsletter

The April 2026 edition brings a fresh mix of practical content across Qt, Slint, and the broader C++ and Rust ecosystem.

Qt 6.11 is out, and Jesper Pedersen sits down with the Qt Group to tour its highlights, including QCanvasPainter, QRangeModelAdapter, and the new TaskTree. On the Slint side, explore how to build reusable Slint UI libraries with Rust crates, now made possible by the new experimental module build feature in Slint 1.14.

New video episodes also continue the CLion series, covering Qt Designer integration and managing multiple Qt versions with toolchains and CMake profiles.

On the training front, a new Advanced Qt Widgets course has been added for October, with several other sessions confirmed across Qt, C++, and Rust. As always, upcoming events - including RustWeek, Oxidize, and Qt World Summit - are listed to help you plan ahead.
