As a patch release, Qt 6.6.1 does not introduce any new features but
contains more than 400 bug fixes, security updates, and other
improvements to the top of the Qt 6.6.0 release. See more information
about the most important changes and bug fixes from the Qt 6.6.1 release
note.
To allow building www/qt6-webengine without CUPS, a CUPS option has been
added and the Pdf module has been split out to a new port: print/qt6-pdf.
This also allows building devel/py-qt6-pyqt without pulling in the unused
WebEngine module. Fixes [1].
Remove a lot of unused dependencies. Fixes [2]. Also remove inconsistent
WWW lines from the individual Makefiles as WWW is alreay defined in
Mk/Uses/qt-dist.mk. [3]

We create software for people, and the KDE Gear releases are the result
of that. Every four months we publish new updates of a large number of
KDE apps and software libraries. We create new programs to meet more of
your needs, implement more features so you can adapt to an ever-changing
digital world, and make our software faster, more efficient, more
reliable. We also port it to more platforms so you can run it on more
devices: your laptop, your game console, your phone, anywhere.
