Windows Qt6 builds — need testers
The Qt6 migration is moving along but it's not finished yet, so don't expect a rock-solid experience.
⚠️ Work on a copy of your project, not the original. Qt6 builds can still mess things up in ways we haven't caught yet — better safe than sorry.
That said, we could really use more people poking at it now rather than waiting until it's "done" — bugs are way easier to catch and fix while things are still moving.
If you've got five minutes, grab a build link, duplicate one of your projects, and see what breaks. Rendering weirdness, missing stuff, crashes, whatever — just dump it here or open an issue on GitHub, or in our Mantis bugtracker.
Every extra person testing now saves us headaches later. Thanks.
PS: Qt6 installer MSI build starts up fast — 1.3s to load 9000 elements. Worth trying just for that.

Edit: We tried to have the displayed current version number change automatically depending on whether it was a Qt5 or Qt6 build in pipeline Windows CI/CD, but detecting that reliably at compile time turned out not to work — too inconsistent across setups. We reverted it.
