Here is everything new in the Qt for Android Automotive 6.11 release.

Features that are a technical preview

The following parts of the API are at the technical preview stage. These are subject to change, and no maintenance, source, or binary compatibility guarantees exist. These may not be fully released in the future.

New features

• Surface Streaming: Fine-tune hardware encoder behavior by setting arbitrary Android MediaFormat parameters directly on QAndroidMediaFormat to enable latency optimization for specific hardware.
• RaaS: Monitor whether the QML engine has loaded successfully or encountered an error in QtRaaSApplication so client applications can react to loading failures.
• RaaS: Read and write QML root object properties from Java in QtRaaSApplication to enable native Android clients to interact with QML application state without Qt dependencies.
