 We are very pleased to announce the release of Swift 2.2!  This is the first official release of Swift since it was open-sourced on December 3, 2015.  Notably, the release includes contributions from 212 non-Apple contributors &mdash; changes that span from simple bug fixes to enhancements and alterations to the core language and Swift Standard Library.

 title: New Features in Swift 2.2
 author: twostraws

 Swift 2.2 brings new syntax, new features, and some deprecations too.  It is an interim release before Swift 3 comes later this year [with even bigger changes](/blog/swift-api-transformation/), and the changes in Swift 2.2 align with the broader goals of Swift 3 to focus on gradually stabilizing the core language and Standard Library by adding missing features, refining what is already there, and removing what is no longer needed in the language.  All changes in Swift 2.2 went through the community-driven [Swift evolution process](/contributing/#participating-in-the-swift-evolution-process) &mdash; where over 30 proposals have been submitted, reviewed, and accepted since Swift was open-sourced a few months ago.

 title: How Mirror Works
 author: mikeash
+category: "Language"

 Swift places a lot of emphasis on static typing, but it also supports rich metadata about types, which allows code to inspect and manipulate arbitrary values at runtime. This is exposed to Swift programmers through the `Mirror` API. One might wonder, how does something like `Mirror` work in a language with so much emphasis on static types? Let's take a look!

 Sourcekitd provides the data backing key editor features like code completion, semantic highlighting, and refactoring for Swift files in both Xcode and the recently announced [SourceKit-LSP](https://forums.swift.org/t/introducing-sourcekit-lsp/17964). To help improve its robustness, we're introducing a new tool, the sourcekitd stress tester, that over the past few months has helped find 91 reproducible sourcekitd crashes, assertion failures, and hangs. This post covers the stress tester's implementation, its deployment in Swift's CI and PR testing, and how Swift developers can run it over their own projects to help improve the Swift editing experience for everyone.

 It has been a longstanding goal to stabilize Swift’s ABI on macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.  While a stable ABI is an important milestone for the maturity of any language, the ultimate benefit to the Swift ecosystem was to enable binary compatibility for apps and libraries.  This post describes what binary compatibility means in Swift 5 and how it will evolve in future releases of Swift.

 The development, refinement, and deployment of [SE-0200 Enhancing String Literals Delimiters to Support Raw Text](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0200-raw-string-escaping.md) was a long and surprising journey. It ended with a uniquely Swift take on "raw strings" that focused on adding custom delimiters to string literals and escape sequences.

Since then, we've been busy meeting regularly, working with the community, defining guidelines, writing Swift packages, voting on proposals, posting in the forums, and much more. We feel that we've made significant progress toward those goals we set out last year and we'd like to share a high-level update with you today.

 author: milseman

 In June, Apple introduced Swift System, a new library for Apple platforms that provides idiomatic interfaces to system calls and low-level currency types. Today, I’m excited to announce that we’re open-sourcing [System](https://github.com/apple/swift-system) and adding Linux support! Our vision is for System to eventually act as the single home for low-level system interfaces for all supported Swift platforms.

 6 years ago, Swift was announced.  In the years since, a thriving community has emerged around a shared passion for building and using the Swift programming language. This community has spread far beyond Apple through conferences, open source repositories, community-authored books, and more — people are always finding new ways to connect with and support other Swift developers around the world. However, we feel we can always do more to encourage a wider range of developers to actively engage in our community.  That’s why we’re excited to announce **Diversity in Swift**. This initiative is focused on further elevating a wide variety of voices, and making it easier for developers to start learning or contributing to Swift, regardless of their background.

 Property wrappers were [introduced in Swift 5.1](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals/0258-property-wrappers.md) as a way to make it easier to reuse common programming patterns, but since then they have grown to work with local context, function and closure parameters, and more. We’re lucky enough to have lots of creators in our community creating apps with property wrappers then writing about their experiences, and we’d like to share a few of our favorites with you here.

 Here are three changes that can help with your everyday debugging workflows.
 
 
-### Faster variable inspection with `p` and `po`
+### Faster variable inspection with <code>p</code> and <code>po</code>
 
 LLDB provides the shorthand `p` command alias to inspect variables and `po` to call the debugDescription property of objects. Originally, these were aliases for the rather heavyweight `expression` and `expression -O` commands. In Swift 5.9, the `p` and `po` command aliases have been redefined to the new [`dwim-print` command](https://reviews.llvm.org/D138315 "LLVM review").

 In the world of software development, the old adage "make it work, make it right, make it fast" serves as a guiding principle for creating robust, efficient applications. This journey starts with ensuring that our code functions as intended, a task where unit and integration testing have proven indispensable. However, ensuring functionality is only part of the equation. The true measure of an application's excellence extends into its performance - how fast and efficiently it operates under various conditions. Herein lies the critical but often overlooked third step: _making it fast_.

 Swift 6 introduces [compile-time data race safety checking](https://www.swift.org/migration/documentation/swift-6-concurrency-migration-guide/dataracesafety) for any code that [opts in to use the Swift 6 language mode](https://www.swift.org/migration/documentation/swift-6-concurrency-migration-guide/swift6mode). While individual modules can adopt this mode incrementally and independently of their dependencies, the full benefit of runtime data race safety is only realized when all modules have opted in. Therefore, the quick adoption of Swift 6 language mode across the ecosystem of open-source packages will play a key role in advancing data race safety across the entire Swift ecosystem.

+
+We’re excited to announce Swift 6.2, a release aimed at making every Swift developer more productive, regardless of where or how you write code. From improved tooling and libraries to enhancements in concurrency and performance, Swift 6.2 delivers a broad set of features designed for real-world development at every layer of the software stack.
+
+Read on for a deep dive into changes to the language, libraries, workflows, platform support, and next steps for getting started with Swift 6.2.
+
+## Approachable Concurrency
+
+Swift 6.2 lowers the barrier to concurrent programming with a set of changes designed to reduce boilerplate and let you write safe concurrent code more naturally:
+
+* **Single-threaded by default:** Run your code on the main thread without explicit `@MainActor` annotations using the new option to isolate code to the main actor by default. This option is ideal for scripts, UI code, and other executable targets.
+* **Intuitive `async` functions:** Write async code without concurrent access to mutable state. Previously, `nonisolated async` methods always switched to the global executor that manages the concurrent thread pool, which made it difficult to write async methods for class types without data-race safety errors. In Swift 6.2, you can migrate to an [upcoming feature](https://docs.swift.org/compiler/documentation/diagnostics/nonisolated-nonsending-by-default/) where `async` functions run in the caller’s execution context, even when called on the main actor.
+* **Opting into concurrency with `@concurrent`:** Introduce code that runs concurrently using the new `@concurrent` attribute. This makes it clear when you want code to remain serialized on actor, and when code may run in parallel.
+
+```swift
+// In '-default-isolation MainActor' mode
+
+struct Image {
+  // The image cache is safe because it's protected
+  // by the main actor.
+  static var cachedImage: [URL: Image] = [:]
+
+  static func create(from url: URL) async throws -> Image {
+    if let image = cachedImage[url] {
+      return image
+    }
+
+    let image = try await fetchImage(at: url)
+
+    cachedImage[url] = image
+    return image
+  }
+
+  // Fetch the data from the given URL and decode it.
+  // This is performed on the concurrent thread pool to
+  // keep the main actor free while decoding large images.
+  @concurrent
+  static func fetchImage(at url: URL) async throws -> Image {
+    let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url)
+    return await decode(data: data)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Together, these improvements let you write data-race free code with less annotation overhead, provide more predictable behavior for async code, while still allowing you to introduce concurrency when you need it.
+
+## Safe Systems Programming
+
+Swift 6.2 includes features designed to maximize performance without compromising safety. These features help you write safe, low-level code with predictable performance and minimal overhead.
+
+[`InlineArray`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/inlinearray) is a new fixed-size array with inline storage for elements, which can be stored on the stack or directly within other types without additional heap allocation. You can introduce an inline array by writing the size in angle brackets before the element, or by using the `of` shorthand syntax:
+
+```swift
+struct Game {
+  // Shorthand for InlineArray<40, Sprite>
+  var bricks: [40 of Sprite]
+
+  init(_ brickSprite: Sprite) {
+    bricks = .init(repeating: brickSprite)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The new [`Span`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/span?changes=_8) type offers safe, direct access to contiguous memory. Span maintains memory safety by ensuring the memory remains valid while you’re using it. These guarantees are checked at compile time with no runtime overhead, and define away the memory safety problems inherent to pointers, such as use-after-free bugs.
+
+Swift 6.2 enhances its capabilities for low-level and security-critical projects beyond new APIs:
+
+* **Embedded Swift:** Embedded Swift now includes Swift’s full `String` APIs, `any` types for class-constrained protocols, and the new `InlineArray` and `Span` types.
+* **Safe C++ interoperability:** Projects that mix Swift and C++ can [take advantage of Swift’s safe abstractions](/documentation/cxx-interop/safe-interop/) like `Span` for C++ APIs through header annotations.
+* **Opt-in strict memory safety:** Swift has provided memory safety since its inception, while allowing use of unsafe constructs like unsafe pointers when needed, such as using a C API that accepts pointers. Swift 6.2 introduces *opt-in strict memory safety*, which flags uses of unsafe constructs, so you can replace them with safe alternatives or explicitly acknowledge them in source code. It’s opt-in because the majority of projects don’t need this level of enforcement — strict memory safety is best left for projects with the strongest security requirements.
+
+## Streamlined Workflows
+
+Beyond language improvements, Swift 6.2 smooths the day-to-day iteration cycle of editing, building, and debugging code.
+
+### VS Code Swift extension
+
+The [Swift extension for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=swiftlang.swift-vscode) is now officially verified and distributed by Swift.org. The latest version of the extension includes:
+
+* **Background indexing by default:** Write code with fast, always-up-to-date editor features like jump-to-definition and code completion.
+* **Built-in LLDB debugging:** Step through Swift code, set breakpoints, and inspect state using LLDB right inside VS Code.
+* **Swift project panel:** Navigate your Swift project’s targets, dependencies, and tasks in the Explorer view.
+* **Live DocC preview:** Preview your rendered documentation side-by-side with your code, updated live as you type.
+
+These workflow improvements make it easier to work on Swift projects in your environment of choice with first-class tooling.
+
+### Precise warning control
+
+Swift 6.2 introduces enhances how you manage compiler warnings by allowing control at the *diagnostic group* level. A diagnostic group is a category of warnings identified by a name. You can specify the desired behavior of warnings in a diagnostic group in a Swift package manifest using the [`treatWarning`](https://docs.swift.org/swiftpm/documentation/packagedescription/swiftsetting/treatwarning(_:as:_:)/) method on `SwiftSetting`, or promote all warnings to errors using the [`treatAllWarnings`](https://docs.swift.org/swiftpm/documentation/packagedescription/swiftsetting/treatallwarnings(as:_:)) method. For example, you can promote all warnings to errors except for warnings about uses of deprecated APIs:
+
+```swift
+.target(
+  name: "MyLibrary",
+  swiftSettings: [
+    .treatAllWarnings(as: .error),
+    .treatWarning("DeprecatedDeclaration", as: .warning),
+  ]
+)
+```
+
+### Macro build performance
+
+Swift 6.2 significantly improves clean build times for projects that use macro-based APIs. Previously, the build system had to first fetch and build the swift-syntax package from source before building the macro project, which noticeably lengthened compile times, especially in CI environments. SwiftPM now supports pre-built swift-syntax dependencies, completely eliminating an expensive build step.
+
+### Enhanced async debugging
+
+Swift 6.2 makes it much easier to follow what’s happening in concurrent code when debugging with LLDB:
+
+* **Robust `async` stepping:** Reliably step into asynchronous functions in LLDB, even when the async call requires switching threads.
+* **Surfacing task context:** See which task a piece of code is running on when stopped at a breakpoint and when viewing the backtrace for the current thread.
+* **Named tasks:** Assign human-readable names when creating tasks, which are surfaced in the task context in debugging and profiling tools.
+
+### Migration to upcoming features
+
+Swift 6.2 includes *migration tooling* to help you adopt upcoming language features:
+
+* **Identify source incompatibility:** Identify code patterns that will no longer compile or change behavior when the upcoming feature is enabled through warnings from migration tooling.
+* **Automate code changes:** Apply fix-its to update your code to preserve its existing behavior.
+
+This streamlines the process of enabling upcoming features by eliminating the tedious task of manual code changes. You can learn more about migration tooling in the [Swift migration guide](/migration/documentation/swift-6-concurrency-migration-guide/featuremigration).
+
+## Core Library Updates
+
+Whether you're managing external processes, reacting to state changes, or writing test suites, the Swift 6.2 libraries are evolving to help you write cleaner and safer code.
+
+### Subprocess
+
+Swift 6.2 introduces a new `Subprocess` package that offers a streamlined, concurrency‑friendly API for launching and managing external processes. This includes APIs built with async/await, fine-grained control over process execution, platform-specific configuration, and more—ideal for scripting, automation, and server‑side tasks:
+
+```swift
+import Subprocess
+
+let swiftPath = FilePath("/usr/bin/swift")
+let result = try await run(
+  .path(swiftPath),
+  arguments: ["--version"]
+)
+
+let swiftVersion = result.standardOutput
+```
+
+Explore the full API surface for version 0.1 in the [swift-subprocess repository](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-subprocess), and feedback from your adoption will inform the API that is released in version 1.0.
+
+### Foundation
+
+In Swift 6.2, the Foundation library includes a modern `NotificationCenter` API that uses concrete notification types instead of relying on strings and untyped dictionaries for notification names and payloads. This means you can define a notification struct with stored properties, and observers can use the type without error-prone indexing and dynamic casting. Notification types also specify whether they’re posted synchronously on the main actor or asynchronously through a conformance to [`MainActorMessage`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/notificationcenter/mainactormessage) or [`AsyncMessage`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/notificationcenter/asyncmessage), which eliminates concurrency errors when working with main actor notifications.
+
+### Observation
+
+Swift 6.2 enables streaming transactional state changes of observable types using the new [`Observations`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/observation/observations) async sequence type. Updates include all synchronous changes to the observable properties, and the transaction ends at the next `await` that suspends. This avoids redundant UI updates, improves performance, and ensures that your code reacts to a consistent snapshot of the value.
+
+### Swift Testing
+
+Swift Testing in Swift 6.2 adds new APIs for enhanced expressivity in your tests and test results:
+
+* [**Exit testing**](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/testing/exit-testing) lets you verify that code terminates under specific conditions, such as a failed precondition. Your exit tests run in a new process and validate that the exit behavior is what you expect, making it possible to exercise critical failure paths like you would in any other test.
+* [**Attachments**](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/testing/attachments) let you include additional context in test results, including  strings, images, logs, and other artifacts, surfaced in test reports or written to disk. This makes it easier to diagnose failures with concrete evidence—whether that’s a screenshot of a UI state, a JSON payload, or a trace of steps leading up to the issue.
+* [**Raw identifier display names**](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals/0451-escaped-identifiers.md) let you customize the names of test functions and suite types with less code:
+
+    ```diff
+    -@Test("square() returns x * x")
+    -func squareIsXTimesX() {
+    +@Test func `square() returns x * x`() {
+       #expect(square(4) == 4 * 4)
+     }
+    ```
+
+## WebAssembly Support
+
+Swift 6.2 gains support for WebAssembly, also known as Wasm. WebAssembly is a virtual machine platform focused on portability, security, and high performance. You can build both client and server applications for Wasm and deploy to the browser or other runtimes. Learn more about Wasm in the [vision for WebAssembly support in Swift](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-evolution/blob/main/visions/webassembly.md).
+
