Introducing NetMaestro: Open Source Network Modeling and SimulationNetwork engineers need to evaluate changes to infrastructure without disrupting the systems that depend on it. Testing a new configuration, replacing equipment, or investigating a potential failure can be difficult when physical testbeds are expensive and production networks cannot be used for experimentation. Kitware is developing NetMaestro, an open source network modeling and simulation tool that allows engineers to investigate congestion, compare configurations, and explore what-if scenarios using virtual network models before making changes to production infrastructure.📝Kitware Inc
With Qt 6.12, the SkyMaterial is the limitQt Quick 3D 6.12 introduces a new SkyMaterial QML type, and in this post we will explain what it is, how to use it and why you'd want to. SkyMaterial provides a way of writing custom fragment shader code to render a scene's sky, as well as computing image-based lighting (IBL) from it. This means the same sky acts as both the visible background and a light source for the scene. With it you can create a dynamic sky with a moving sun, day/night cycle, clouds, stars etc. QML properties set on the SkyMaterial type are automatically made available in the custom shader, and whenever a property is updated, the SkyMaterial re-renders itself. This is what makes it possible to have a dynamic sky. Since the rendering is happening on the GPU, the performance cost depends on the complexity of the shader and how often it is updated. It is possible to tweak certain quality and performance properties to fit your performance budget. To use SkyMaterial in your 3D scene you need to point the SceneEnvironment::skyMaterial property to your SkyMaterial object, and set SceneEnvironment::backgroundMode to SceneEnvironment.SkyMaterial .📝Qt Blog

Bazel releases addressing the eMudhra CA compromiseThe Bazel team has published new releases of Bazel and Bazelisk to address the recent disclosure of the eMudhra intermediate CA private key compromise . The following Bazel releases remove the distrusted eMudhra and Sectigo AAA root CA certificates from the bundled JDK: 7.7.2 8.8.2 9.3.1 10.0.0rc2 If you cannot immediately upgrade to one of the patched releases above (or are using an older, unsupported Bazel release), you can work around the issue by passing --host_jvm_args=-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore= to point Bazel's JVM at an updated trust store that excludes the distrusted roots. We have also released Bazelisk v1.30.0 , built with Go 1.27.3 to address CVE-2026-111943 . Thanks to community member James Sharpe for bringing this issue to our attention.📝Bazel Blog

Microsoft CppCon 2026 Trip ReportCppCon 2026 is a wrap! Microsoft returned to Aurora, Colorado, for a week of talks, technical discussions, and conversations with developers from across the C++ community. Microsoft C++ @ CppCon At our booth, we met people building games, financial systems, developer tools, embedded software, scientific tools, and other applications. Some were working with the latest […] The post Microsoft CppCon 2026 Trip Report appeared first on C++ Team Blog .📝C++ Team Blog
Security advisory: CVE-2026-105923 - Null-pointer dereference in QTriangulator reachable through VectorImageA denial-of-service vulnerability in the Qt Framework VectorImage QML type of the Qt Quick Vector Image module has been discovered and has been assigned the CVE id CVE-2026-105923. Affected versions: from Qt 6.8.0 to Qt 6.8.8, from Qt 6.9.0 to Qt 6.11.2 Impact: Processing specially crafted SVG content with the VectorImage QML type can cause the application to crash, resulting in loss of availability. CVSS 4.0 Score: 4.0 / MEDIUM Vector String: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/AU:N/R:U/RE:L/U:Green Mitigation: Do not load untrusted SVG files with the VectorImage QML type. Solution: Apply the following patch or update to Qt 6.8.9, Qt 6.11.3 or Qt 6.12.0 or later. Patches: dev: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt%2Fqtbase/+/762279📝Qt Blog
