The Qt v6 milestone matters because it brings QtWebEngine closer to full functionality on the platform. A working QtWebEngine means OS/2 users gain access to modern web applications that currently require Chromium-based rendering. Collaboration suites, real money poker clients, and cloud development environments all depend on that engine. For a community that has relied on older browser ports with limited JavaScript support, this is a significant step forward.

Getting Dooble to run on OS/2 is a bigger deal than the commit log suggests. For years, users on the platform have been limited to older browsers that struggle with modern web applications. With a functional QtWebEngine under the hood, Dooble opens up services that were previously inaccessible: cloud document editors, betting online platforms, video conferencing clients, and Progressive Web Apps that assume a Chromium-level rendering engine. Paul Smedley’s porting work and the QtWebEngine progress from bitwiseworks are what made this possible.
