--- Comment #9 from Urs Fleisch <uflei...@users.sourceforge.net> ---
I am always trying to keep the code up to date, and therefore it is already
adapted for Qt 6. None of the official versions, however, is already using it
because it has not yet reached feature parity with Qt 5 - for Kid3 the missing
module is QtMultimedia, so when you build it with Qt 6, there will be no
playback available. QtMultimedia should be shipped with Qt 6.2, which will be
released later this year.

Concerning the version for macOS, there is another problem: Qt 6 requires macOS
11.1 to build and at least macOS 10.14 to run. For my Mac Mini, Apple's support
stops at macOS 10.13 (High Sierra), so I will not be able to run Qt 6 on it.
Even if I am able to port my Linux cross toolchain to the macOS 11.1 SDK, I
would not be able to test it. There may also be Kid3 users who do not have the
latest hardware from Apple and who would not welcome it if Kid3 would raise its
requirements to macOS 10.14.

So in the near future, I will probably continue to release Kid3 for macOS built
with Qt 5. But you always have the possibility to build it from source (which
should not be a huge challenge if you use the buildlibs.sh script coming with
the sources). You could also try the nightly build from the KDE binary factory
at https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kid3_Nightly_macos/, but I do not expect
it to use Qt 6 as long as KDE is using Qt 5.
