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.

Very much looking forward to hear about the interesting ways you come up with to break, err, use this!
A Model for all Ranges
Qt 6.10 introduces a generic implementation of QAbstractItemModel that can many any C++ range available to Qt's UI frameworks.

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
