Swift 3

Hooray! Swift 3 support! 🎉

The primary focus of the v2.0.0 release is to bring Swift 3 support to the mainline of development of the project. We've worked to make the code not just build with Swift 3, but adopt Swift 3 conventions. As a result, this is a breaking update. But just like Swift 3 is a breaking update (from Swift 2.x), we feel this is acceptable (and thus why version 2.0.0, per semver conventions).

If you still need Swift 2.x support, there are branches you can use. Our intention is to keep those branches around, with light support and maintenance, but they will not be developed further. All future work will be on master going forward with Swift 3. Any pull requests should take this into consideration.

Future Prep

Changes since v1.2.0:

• Made the UIButton action closure support more generalized to UIControl
• Syntactic sugar for auto-layout pin supports.
• Housekeeping

This is scheduled to be the last release supporting Swift 2.2. There will be a swift2.2 branch, in case you need 2.2 support and/or we have to do any 2.2-specific fixes. But generally speaking we expect Swift 2.2-code to go into maintenance mode.

We will also have a swift2.3 branch, based off the swift2.2 branch/code, for Swift 2.3 support, but we also don't expect this branch to fully move forward (it'll be swift2.2 with whatever adjustments are needed to work with Swift 2.3). It may get fixes, it may have new contributions, but we generally wish to move forward with Swift 3.

After this point (and of course, after Swift 3 actually goes final and live), we expect master and general development of Alexandria to move forward with Swift 3.
