Hi Scott,


The only module that is not officially available in Qt 6 yet, and that we still want to bring back in some form, is Qt Location. Work is progressing on that module [1].

[1] https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-96795

There are some modules that currently live only in Qt5Compat, such as Qt Graphical Effects. We’re working on a replacement for that as well [2], addressing some of the deficiencies of it Qt Graphical Effects, but if you were happy with things in Qt 5, then the types in Qt5Compat as they are are perfectly fine to use.

So, unless you depend on Qt Location, there’s no point in waiting. And if you do - we’ll soon share more updates on our blog.
