For this release we have focused on improving and stabilizing existing functionality. With over 500 bug fixes and performance improvements since Qt 6.7, your existing code will run better without changing a single line. On macOS, Qt Quick applications now integrate with the native menu bar, and for a native Windows 11 look they can use the new Fluent style. Resizing Quick windows is snappier on macOS with Qt 6.8, and on Windows the application start-up time has been improved by changing the default font database to DirectWrite.

对于这个版本，我们专注于改进和稳定现有功能。自Qt 6.7以来，已有500多个错误修复和性能改进，现有的代码将在不更改任何一行的情况下运行得更好。在macOS上，Qt Quick应用程序现在与原生菜单栏集成，对于原生Windows 11外观，它们可以使用新的Fluent样式。在使用Qt 6.8的macOS上，调整快速窗口的大小更为快捷，在windows上，通过将默认字体数据库更改为DirectWrite，应用程序的启动时间得到了改善。

Several modules that were under technology preview have been completed: Qt Graphs, Qt HttpServer, and Qt GRPC are promoted to be fully supported from this release on. Thanks to the feedback from our users we were able to finish those modules with substantial improvements since their initial introduction as technology previews.

几个正在进行技术预览的模块已经完成：Qt Graphs、Qt HttpServer和Qt GRPC从本次发布开始得到全面支持。由于用户的反馈，我们能够完成这些模块，自最初作为技术预览引入以来，它们有了实质性的改进。

For commercial users, Qt 6.8 is long-term supported, and with this release we are switching from 3 years to 5 years of support and maintenance. In addition, we support the creators of software products with the upcoming Cyber-Resilience Act regulations in the European Union by providing Software Bill of Material (SBOM) documents for Qt libraries in the SPDX v2.3 format, with information needed to improve software security.

对于商业用户，Qt 6.8是长期支持的，在这个版本中，我们将从3年的支持和维护切换到5年。此外，我们通过为Qt库提供SPDX v2.3格式的软件物料清单（SBOM）文档，以及提高软件安全性所需的信息，为软件产品的创建者提供欧盟即将出台的《网络弹性法案》规定的支持。
