Release Status

Qt Bridge for C# is currently in beta. The bridge, its APIs, the project templates, and this documentation are all subject to change as feedback comes in from early adopters.

What to expect right now

  • APIs and workflows can change. Type names, attributes, model base classes, and template or CLI behavior may be renamed, restructured, or replaced between releases while the design settles.
  • Documentation is focused but incomplete. Pages cover the workflows and APIs that exist today rather than every possible scenario. Expect gaps, especially around less common use cases.
  • Some workflows are smoother than others. The Windows and Visual Studio workflow is the most mature. Linux support is newer and still evolving, and packaging or editor integrations there may need more iteration before they feel as integrated.
  • Feedback drives what gets polished next. Early-adopter reports about workflow gaps, missing guidance, and unclear behavior directly shape which workflows and docs improve first.

Over time, expect APIs to stabilize, packaging to simplify, and workflows that are still being refined today to become smoother.
