The May 2026 edition of the KDAB newsletter features the latest updates from the worlds of Rust, Qt, C++, and developer tooling. This month, we look ahead to Oxidize 2026 in Berlin. The applied Rust conference brings together engineers and technical leaders working with Rust in production.

Then, there's a new three-part interview series from The Curious Developer, where Jesper Pedersen speaks with C++ expert Nicolai Josuttis about the evolution of the C++ standard, the design challenges behind modern language features, and what developers can expect from C++26 and beyond.

In terms of Qt, a new blog post introduces a cleaner Qt 6.12 approach for connecting QML controllers with C++ logic using externally managed singleton instances. Meanwhile, several new video episodes explore productivity techniques for both Qt Creator and CLion, covering topics such as debugging workflows, keybindings, source navigation, and editor customization.

As always, the newsletter also includes upcoming training opportunities and industry events across Qt, C++, and Rust.
