Yes, that is the general goal. I doubt that Swift 2.2 will be 100% compatible with Swift 2.1, but we don’t want major breaking changes. Things like removal of ++, wide-spread renaming of stdlib and Cocoa APIs (etc) shouldn’t go into Swift 2.2, they should wait for Swift 3. That said, making these things *warnings* in Swift 2.2 is desirable, because that makes the transition path to swift 3 smoother. -Chris _______________________________________________ swift-dev mailing list swift-dev@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-dev
