介绍 swiftly 1.0

发布于 3 月 28 日

Introduction: March 28, 2025, presents the first stable release of swiftly, a Swift version manager to simplify Swift toolchain installation, management and update.
Problem: The latest Swift with Xcode is for Apple platforms. Installing Swift on other platforms or different toolchain versions requires manual and error-prone steps.
Features:
- Supports Linux (community-supported) and added macOS support.
- Best for installing standalone toolchain, with commands like install, update, use different versions, list available snapshots, etc.
- Can enforce a common toolchain version in a team by creating a .swift-version file.
- Updated itself and uses Swift's features and ecosystem.
- Written in Swift with access to standard library and other related projects.
- Moved from shell program to self-installing binary to work well across platforms.
- Detects OS and processor architecture using [swift.org] and [Swift Static Linux SDK].
Future: Will be the default way to install Swift outside of Xcode, with documentation providing more info on using in CI/CD, setting proxies, etc. It's an open source project with GitHub repository and Swift Forums for discussion.
Special Thanks: To Patrick Freed for creating and contributing swiftly.
