  • The latest Qt for Android Automotive 6.10 was just released and is based on Qt 6.10. The Qt release itself brings a lot of new features across the board while Qt for Android Automotive brings two new highlights specific to Android Automotive. Let's dive into all the new and exiting features! 

  • We have released Qt Safe Renderer 2.2 Release candidate 1 for commercial license holders today. With this release candidate, you can use safety-critical items in Qt Quick Ultralite applications. You should use Qt Safe Renderer 2.2 Release candidate 1 together with the upcoming Qt for MCUs 2.12 release.

  • Atomic design systems have emerged as a methodology for creating scalable and maintainable user interfaces. This comprehensive guide explores what atomic design is, examines whether atomic design is still relevant in 2025, and reveals how atomic design principles can be adapted beyond their original chemistry metaphor. Drawing from a decade of industry experience and direct insights from Brad Frost himself, this article provides practical guidance for implementing modern design systems that prioritize clarity, maintainability, and production readiness over rigid categorization.

  • We're happy to announce the release of version 1.10.0 of the Qt Extension for Visual Studio Code! This release introduces plenty of quality-of-life improvements to developing Qt solutions on Visual Studio Code.

  • With the release of Qt 6.10 in October 2025, it's time to take a look at what new and improved features QtGraphs has to offer.

     

  • When comparing Qt for MCUs vs LVGL, our independent study with Spyrosoft shows that Qt for MCUs reduces development time for microcontroller GUI by 30% compared to LVGL. The efficiency improvement comes from Qt’s integrated toolchain, which facilitates better collaboration among designers (Figma to Qt), developers (Qt Creator or Visual Studio Code), and QA engineers (Squish for MCUs), making Qt for MCUs ideal for complex projects with cross-functional teams. Additionally, Qt for MCUs offers comprehensive safety certification packages for safety-critical industries such as automotive, two-wheelers, and medical applications, positioning it as a superior LVGL alternative when functional safety and regulatory compliance are essential.

  • We have released Qt 6.5.11 LTS for commercial license holders today. As a patch release, Qt 6.5.11 does not add any new functionality but provides bug fixes and other improvements.

  • Qt 6.10.1 is now available for download.  As a patch release, Qt 6.10.1 does not introduce new features but delivers over 450 bug fixes, security updates, and enhancements on top of the Qt 6.10.0 release.  For a detailed breakdown of the most significant changes, refer to the  Qt 6.10.1 release notes.

  • Stretching your Qt UI to devices powered by microcontrollers (MCU) is now even easier! The Qt Quick Ultralite Converter of the Qt AI Assistant translates a QML to Ultralite-compliant code. It brings core Qt graphical features to resource-constrained embedded systems, streamlining application development and deployment.
