Learn about vigilant mode.

  • The default Swift version will be 5.2.1, with the promise that it will be updated quickly as new toolchains drop.

    Living legacy projects can still pin old versions manually.

  • On top of the .swift-version file, the SWIFT_VERSION configuration variable can be used to specify the pinned Swift version.

    This helps consistency with other build parameters and may be easier to explain than the hidden file.

  • Clang is no longer installed for Swift 5.x.

    It was just wasted build time and cache space anyway.

  • The README has a practical example for SWIFT_BUILD_FLAGS.
