This post describes the goals, release process, and estimated schedule for Swift 5.2.
ISwift tries to recognize, parse and convert all Objective-C code (2.0 too!) to valid Swift code. If it doesn't, let me know. The guy behind iSwift is (rather obviously) a coder too. And he loves what he's doing. So, if you notice anything wrong, or maybe drop.
Motivation and Goals
Swift 5.2 is a release meant to include significant quality and performance enhancements.
- Signature Creator Lite (2.5 MB) represents an intuitive signature platform that allows you to create your own create signature on Android phone. Some people are doing multiple signatures at multiple places. So now using this application they don't need to remember which signature is used for which location. We have provided Signature name functionality so you do not need to remember which.
- Dec 14, 2015 iSwift is the easiest way to convert your Objective-C code to Swift.Features Ultra fast: Automatic as-you-type conversion, so that you don't lose even a single second. Drag-and-drop: Drop your Objective-C source onto the app icon, import the file and have it instantly convert.
Snapshots of Swift 5.2
Downloadable snapshots of the Swift 5.2 release branch will be postedregularly as part of continuous integration testing.
Once Swift 5.2 is released, the official final builds will also be posted in addition to the snapshots.
Getting Changes into Swift 5.2
On December 9, 2019 the
swift-5.2-branch
branch will be cut, and this will contain the changes that will be released in Swift5.2. After the branch is cut, changes can be landed on the branch via pull request if the meet the criteria for the release.Some notable exceptions to this plan are indicated in the table below. Each will merge from
master
into swift-5.2-branch
daily. The finalcutoff date for changes to each exception will extend beyond November 5 and will be announced later.Project | Cutoff date |
---|---|
indexstore-db | January 7, 2020 |
sourcekit-lsp | January 7, 2020 |
swift-llbuild | January 7, 2020 |
swift-package-manager | January 7, 2020 |
Philosophy on Taking Changes into Swift 5.2
- All language and API changes for Swift 5.2 will go through the SwiftEvolution process. Evolutionproposals should aim to be completed by the branch date in order toincrease their chances of impacting the Swift 5.2 release. Exceptionswill be considered on a case-by-case basis, particularly if they tiein with the core goal of the release.
- Other changes (e.g., bug fixes, diagnostic improvements, SourceKit interfaceimprovements) will be accepted based on their risk and impact.
- Low-risk test tweaks will also be accepted late into the release branch ifit aids in the qualification of the release.
- As the release converges, the criteria for accepted changes will becomeincreasingly restrictive.
Impacted Repositories
The following repositories will have a
swift-5.2-branch
