Qt 6.3.0 Modules
With Qt 6 one of the goals is to simplify the product structure and allow much easier installation of addition libraries by users. First step towards the new structure, is to streamline the base installation to include the most commonly used libraries. With Qt 6, the base installation includes primarily just the Qt Essentials and a few of the most commonly used Qt Add-Ons. In addition the base installation contains a few smaller items that are part of Qt Base, and not easily installable separately. Most of the Qt Add-Ons are moved outside of the base installation, but still available when needed. Leveraging the Qt Marketplace, new installer and package manager these Add-Ons can be installed after selected by the user. Installation experience and amount of additional libraries will be improved continuously.
