Plan for Swift 2.3 support

[phubner]

Is there a plan to support swift 2.3?

[danthorpe]

Hi @phubner - yes, absolutely planned. It's next on the list after ValueCoding is done.

[phubner]

hey @danthorpe, I noticed that ValueCoding has a swift/2.3 branch. I assumed that is where they/you are keeping the 2.3 compatible version? Is that not a release ready branch?

[danthorpe]

Oh, yes, but I think now that Xcode 8 is GM, then I'll do a proper release of ValueCoding - get a tagged version to depend on for YapDatabaseExtensions. Will try to do this over the next few nights.

Sorry it's a bit late - I've got quite a few open source projects, Swift 3 has been tough!

[phubner]

Ha! No worries, I'm not looking forward to switching over yet. But know I am going to have to face that soon enough.

Yeah, I think my plan for YapDatabaseExtensions, for Swift 3.0, will be a bit of a stripping back to refactor some of the API. I think most people only use the "functional" API - so will keep that, but might get rid of the more fancy stuff. This was mostly just me learning more Swift stuff anyway.
