Qt 5.6.2 is here four months after the release of the first maintenance version, Qt 5.6.1, bringing approximately 900 improvements and bug fixes to keep Qt 5.6 a stable and reliable release for Qt application developers on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Qt 5.6 is a long-term support release, which means that it will receive more updates in the coming months. Also, the Qt 5.7 branch, which is currently the latest stable and most advanced version, will get its first point release at the end of the month, along with the Beta of the upcoming Qt 5.8 series.
