QtScript is an essential part of QCAD. Unfortunately, the module was deprecated in Qt 6 without any suitable replacement (QJSEngine lacks a lot of the QtScript functionality). We are currently assessing the situation and working on a possible replacement. This is a long term project and QCAD will stick with Qt 5 for the time being.

Note that it took Qt 5 many years to reach deployment maturity. I expect the same long road for Qt 6.

May I ask what the reason is for the question?
