• The structure of SwiftLintBinary.artifactbundle.zip is now simpler. Internal paths no
  longer contain version numbers, especially. So in an Xcode Run Script build phase,
  you can refer to the swiftlint binary like this:

  SWIFT_PACKAGE_DIR="${BUILD_DIR%Build/*}SourcePackages/artifacts"
  SWIFTLINT_CMD="$SWIFT_PACKAGE_DIR/swiftlintplugins/SwiftLintBinary/SwiftLintBinary.artifactbundle/macos/swiftlint"

  All other consumers of the artifact bundle do not need to change anything. Swift Package
  Manager resolves the new paths automatically.
  SimplyDanny

• SwiftLint now requires a Swift 6 or higher compiler to build. The
  Swift Package Manager plugins continue
  to work with all versions down to Swift 5.9.
  SimplyDanny

• sorted_imports rule's behavior changed in that it now treats imports directly adjacent
  to each other as a group that is sorted together. Imports separated by at least one
  non-import statement or empty line(s) are treated as separate groups. Comments are

• Don't consider specialized imports with attributes as duplicates in
  duplicate_imports rule.

• Use correct types and relative paths in SARIF reporter output. Generally
  avoid escaping slashes in JSON output as well.

  as new, and also now sorts the violations from baseline compare
  deterministically.
  Martin Redington

• Fix rewriting for implicit_return rule when violations are
  nested within each other.

Bug Fixes

• Fix Bazel build when bzlmod is not in use by adding transitive dependencies
  explicitly.
  SimplyDanny
  #​5568

• Treat condionally activatable variable declarations and initializer as if
  they were always active in unneeded_synthesized_initializer rule to avoid
  compilation issues when unexpected items are there after all.
  SimplyDanny
  #​5574

• Silence unused_enumerated rule when $0 in a closure is explicitly unpacked.
  SimplyDanny
  #​5573

• Remove redundant initializers in unneeded_override rule only when checking
  initializers is actually enabled in the configuration.
  SimplyDanny
  #​5571

• Respect comments before opening brace in opening_brace rule when there is
  one space before the brace after the comment. Everything else is still a
  violation, yet the rewriter will not remove the comment anymore.

Breaking

• Rewrite SwiftLintBuildToolPlugin using BUILD_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY without relying
  on the --config option.

• Introduce SwiftLintCommandPlugin.
  Rename SwiftLintBuildToolPlugin.
  Add Swift Package Manager installation instructions.

• Fix Code Climate reporter output by having lower case severity
  values to comply with the Code Climate specification.
  waitButY

• The superfluous_disable_command rule will now be enabled for the analyze
  command, unless it has been disabled, and will warn about superfluous
  disablement of analyzer rules.
  Martin Redington
  #​4792

• With the introduction of the consider_default_literal_types_redundant
  option to the redundant_type_annotation rule, Bool literals will no
  longer be considered redundant by default. Set this option to true to
  preserve the previous behavior.
  Garric Nahapetian

Experimental

• Add two new options to the lint and analyze commands: --write-baseline
  to save a baseline to disk, and --baseline to read a saved baseline and
  use it to filter out detected pre-existing violations. A new baseline
  command uses the reporters to print the violations in a baseline.

Enhancements

• Add a reporter that outputs violations in the Static
  Analysis Results Interchange Format (SARIF).
  waitButY

• Ignore absence of a non-initial local config instead of
  falling back to default.

  rule_name: warning|error provided that no other attributes need to be
  configured.

  rule to ignore switch statements written in a single line.

  like $0, $1, etc. in closures if they are too far away from the
  beginning of the closure. Options allow further cases to always trigger.

  takes effect then.
