The platform API for Rust and C++ has been significantly extended, enabling embedding Slint UIs as plugins, implementing custom windowing system backends, and developing C++ applications on microcontrollers. A new Slint ESP-IDF component makes it easy to target ESP32-family MCUs. A new experimental LinuxKMS backend allows rendering directly to the screen via OpenGL or Vulkan using Linux's KMS/DRI infrastructure, bypassing the need for X11 or Wayland on embedded devices. Additional widget improvements include ReverseModel, new callbacks for SpinBox, StandardTableView, and StandardListView, an orientation property for Slider, and an improved VS Code extension onboarding walkthrough. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
