Another favourite open source tool #Audacity takes the leap and redesigns on #Qt! It looks like it is going to be amazing. Enlightening segment on technical debt here, though the whole thing is worth watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYM3...

New from the @qt-project.org in #Qt 6.10: let the compiler implement a QAbstractItemModel for you, for any (well, almost any) C++ range. www.qt.io/blog/a-model... Very much looking forward to hear about the interesting ways you come up with to break, err, use this!

As part of a recent focus on emoji/color font support in Qt, upcoming releases will support COLRv1 on the Freetype backend. This means color fonts will be smoothly scalable, and users targeting Android 15 will no longer have to bundle their own font to get color emojis on the platform. #qtdev

Lots of hard work on a new Qt Quick Shapes backend and its many layers of debug shaders has finally paid off in the form of some actual programmer art for the office 🥳
