With Qt 6.2 everything is supported that we need to port Picard. Updating to Qt6 also is a requirement for Apple Silicon support.
The actual API changes in Qt6 itself aren't that numerous
- The media player API changed
- Network accessibility API has been removed, which mean we can remove our workaround for that (but we consider re-implementing the webservice module with Python libraries)
- PyQt6 now uses proper Python enums (already handled in
PICARD-2332) - pyrcc is not available for PyQt6, resources should be loaded from files
Things to consider:
- Qt6 will mean we drop support for older platforms (Windows 7/8, macOS before 10.14), see https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-6.2/supported-platforms.html
- Consider moving the media player functionality in plugin (PICARD-2333)
- Switch to using Python enums for the Qt enum values can be done with Qt 5 already and is planned for Picard 2.8 (
PICARD-2332)
