Issue #94

Hello everyone!

I have some exciting updates and announcements to share with you this week as I prepare for WWDC 2024!

Check out my new article on migrating to Swift 6 to the upcoming release of Bushel v1.2.0, there’s a lot happening at BrightDigit. Plus, I’m thrilled to share my plans for “attending” WWDC in person this year. Read on to catch up on all the latest developments and how you can get involved.

New Article: “Swift 6 Incomplete Migration Guide for Dummies”

I’m excited to share my latest article, Swift 6 Incomplete Migration Guide for Dummies where I dive into my experience migrating Bushel to Swift 6. In this guide, I explore the first steps for transitioning to Swift 6, with a particular focus on concurrency safety. You’ll learn how to handle mutable properties, use nonisolated, and make UI components @MainActor for a seamless transition. It’s a must-read for anyone preparing for the switch to Swift 6. Check it out here.

Upcoming Release: Bushel v1.2.0

I’m working hard on finalizing the release of Bushel v1.2.0, which comes with a host of new features and improvements:

  • Overall Performance Improvements: Enhanced performance to prepare for Swift 6, ensuring a smoother and faster experience.
  • WishKit Integration: Now you can request and vote on new features directly within the app.
  • Improved Document Management: Better tracking of moved and deleted files for Machines and Libraries.
  • Enhanced Error Tracking and User Feedback: Improved systems to catch errors and collect your valuable feedback.
  • Brand New Machine Creation Dialog: A redesigned interface for creating new machines, making the process more intuitive.
  • Improved Installation Screen: More descriptive progress indicators to keep you informed during installations.

Additionally, make sure to join the Bushel TestFlight list. My focus is on getting Bushel ready for WWDC and the upcoming macOS version. Join the TestFlight here.

Stay tuned for the official release announcement!

WWDC 2024: Meeting and Mingling

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be making my first in-person trip to WWDC this year, or at least be in the area to socialize and meet other developers. I look forward to connecting with many of you and sharing insights and experiences. If you’ll be around, let’s make sure to meet up!

Thank you for your continued support and interest in my projects. Stay tuned for more updates and exciting developments!
