Greetings fellow roboticists,

Just a quick announcement here 🎉  
I’ve just released `qml6_ros2_plugin` which is the Qt6 version of my previously released `qml_ros2_plugin` which serves as an interface between ROS 2 and the UI framework QML.  
A framework that makes developing UI a breeze (not getting paid to say this).  
(See this previous post: [Create stunning UIs for ROS2 using the newly released QML ROS2 plugin](https://discourse.openrobotics.org/t/create-stunning-uis-for-ros2-using-the-newly-released-qml-ros2-plugin/25906))  
It comes with several quality of live and stability improvements.  
It is based on [ros\_babel\_fish](https://github.com/LOEWE-emergenCITY/ros_babel_fish), a powerful and efficient message introspection library.

Here’s a sneak peek for my next project based on this package which I will open-source once this has been merged to rosdistro and I can prepare a release:

I hope this is of interest to you and I would love to hear from you, if you build something cool with this 🚀  
If it wasn’t here is an image of my little turtle buddy eagerly awaiting the opportunity to announce my next project to hopefully make up for the lost time (I mean look at how cute he is).
