Masked: This package is masked.

Reason: Masked for testing the new .0 version and leave time for packages to catch up on support. Will likely be kept masked until 6.12.1 is released unless there is a notable reason to need this earlier. If wanted, feel welcome to add `dev-qt/*:6/6.12.0` to package.unmask and report issues. Note: qtwebengine was "split" from Qt's main packaging and is now versioned as 6.<chromium-major>.<patch> (6.140.0 here), for now it is included in this mask (unmask with dev-qt/qtwebengine:6/6.140.0), but in the future it will be treated separately given it is not pinned and e.g. 6.140.0 can be used with Qt 6.11.x (aka not just 6.12.x). !!! ... however, 6.140.0 was not released yet, if you need qtwebengine either do not unmask this or use qtwebengine-6.140.9999 for now.
