Qt Toolkit Support
Rivendell v4 uses the Qt 5 application framework for its graphical user interface.[1]
Beginning with the release of Rivendell 4.0.0, the project migrated from earlier versions of the Qt toolkit to Qt 5. This transition is documented as one of the major architectural changes between Rivendell v3.x and v4.x.[2]
The Rivendell development team states that Rivendell v4.x is fully compatible with major version 5 of Qt, and Qt 5 is listed as a mandatory dependency in the installation documentation. The use of Qt 5 enables improved interface scalability, dynamic window resizing, and better compatibility with modern Linux distributions.[3]
As of the latest Rivendell 4.x releases, Qt 5 remains the supported and required GUI framework. No official migration to Qt 6 has been announced by the Rivendell development team.[1]
