During our yearly hackathon last week I played around with #C++26 reflection and annotations, and #Qt 's new QRangeModel.

Here's how it went.

Very sad news about Rainer, who passed away earlier this week. If you can help support #ALS research please consider donating.

My thoughts are with his family. We as a C++ community were lucky to have him.

A bunch of us from the #Qt team will be at the KDE Akademy in Berlin, with a few hot topics both on the weekend and during the BoF's on Tuesday.

Ok, thanks; Android 16 support is still being worked on, so that might contribute. But we have seen similar glitches also on other devices/versions, e.g. see bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG..., which should be fixed for 6.8.4 (and 6.9.2, which just dropped). Hard to say if it's the same issue though.

Do you know more about exact versions (Qt, Android) in this case?

I’ll ping some people
