  David Jennes #955
• Our spacing & trimming "hack" is now considered deprecated, and in the next major version we'll switch to Stencil's new "smart" trimming behaviour (see Stencil documentation for more information). Our built-in templates have already switched to this modern behaviour, you can try it with your own templates by using the --experimental-modern-spacing flag.

  Arnaud Dorgans #763
• Added config generate-xcfilelist subcommand to generate input and output xcfilelists based on your configuration file. These files should then be used in an Xcode build step that executes swiftgen config run. Don't forget to regenerate the file lists after adding/removing resources in your project in a way that might impact them.
  @CraigSiemens #441
• Colors: the XML parser now accepts a colorFormat option, used to change the color format. The default format is rgba.
  @kevinstier #562 #768

  Florian Fittschen #184 #634
• Fonts: the templates now support a new fontTypeName template parameter that you can use to change the name of the struct representing a font to something else.
  David Jennes #728
• Fonts: the templates now support a new fontAliasName that you can use to change the typealias's name from Font to something else. For example: this is useful when working with SwiftUI which already defines a Font type. Note that as this typealias is deprecated (see deprecations above), this template parameter will also be removed in the next major release.
  David Jennes #647 #728
• CoreData: Deprecates fetchRequest() and adds makeFetchRequest() to avoid ambiguous function usage.
  David Rothera #726
• XCAssets: image assets now load faster on macOS if they're in the main bundle. MacOS only provides a caching mechanism for images in the main bundle, for other cases you may need to provide your own caching mechanism as needed.
  David Jennes #648 #733
• Fonts/IB/JSON/Plist/Strings/XCAssets: all templates that load data at runtime from a bundle now support a bundle template parameter, which you can use to override the bundle from which resources are loaded. Check out the template specific documentation for more information. For an in-depth explanation, also check the customize loading of resources article.
  David Jennes #737
• Fonts/IB/JSON/Plist: Similar to the strings templates, these templates now support a lookupFunction template parameter, which allows you to provide your own resource lookup mechanism at runtime. Check the template specific documentation for more information. For an in-depth explanation, also check the customize loading of resources article.
  David Jennes #738

• Strings: fix incorrect interpretation of format placeholders when there were missing positional parameters (e.g. "%2$@" without a %1$… defined).
  Olivier Halligon #634

There are no major changes in this release, although JSON & Plist template writers may want to read the small migration guide to prepare for upcoming context changes.

• JSON & Plist: if you wrote your own templates, know that the documents property of a file has been deprecated in favour of document. The old documents property will be removed in the next major release.
  David Jennes #702 #732

• Prevent generating default.profraw (code coverage) files.
  David Jennes #722
• JSON/Plist/YAML: Fix issue with homogeneous Arrays in the Inline templates (such as [String]).
  #687 @fjtrujy
• Avoid breaking the system swift installation when installing SwiftGen via Homebrew on macOS 10.14.4 or higher.
  David Jennes #686 #730

• Parsers are now executed in parallel, making SwiftGen faster when multiple parsers are used. Note: only applies when using a configuration file.
  Marcelo Fabri #699
• Use JSONSerialization instead of Yams for parsing JSONs, making the json parser faster.
  Marcelo Fabri #698
• JSON/Plist/YAML: Lazily evaluate metadata of documents, making SwiftGen faster if the metadata field is never used in a template.
  Marcelo Fabri #700

⚠️ This minor version contains a lot of deprecations that may apply to your configuration and how you use SwiftGen. With the exception of swift3 templates (which have been removed), everything should still work as before. But be warned that all features marked as deprecated will be removed in SwiftGen 7.0.

Read the SwiftGen 6.2 Migration Guide for a list of changes you'll need to apply.

• As Swift 3 is officially no longer maintained, we're obsoleting the Swift 3 templates and they are no longer included with SwiftGen. You can still use the old swift 3 templates by getting them from older SwiftGen versions, or from GitHub by browsing older tags.
  David Jennes #601 #691

• XCAssets: the colorAliasName and imageAliasName template parameters are now deprecated and will be removed in the next major release.
  David Jennes #614
• The use of swiftgen <parser> (e.g. swiftgen strings, swiftgen xcassets, …) command line for running individual parsers is now deprecated in favor of swiftgen run <parser>. See "New Features" below.
  Olivier Halligon #705
• The subcommand swiftgen templates has been renamed swiftgen template (singular); the plural form of the command has been deprecated and will be removed in next major version.
  Olivier Halligon #697
• The ability for SwiftGen to search custom named templates in ~/Library/Application Support has been deprecated and will be removed in SwiftGen 7.0. This little known feature made SwiftGen dependent on the machine it was running on. Use templatePath to reference custom templates by path instead.
  Olivier Halligon #717

• Invoking individual parsers from the command line is now done via swiftgen run <parser>. We still highly recommend to use a configuration file for flexibility and performance reasons in your projects, and only use swiftgen run <parser> for things like quick iterations when writing your own custom templates.
  Olivier Halligon #705
• You can now easily create a new config file using swiftgen config init. This will create an example and commented config file and open it to let you edit it to your needs. Note that the generated config file is static content which doesn't take the user's project into account (though that might change in the future).
  Olivier Halligon #694
• You can now use swiftgen template doc [parser] [templateName] on the command line to quickly open the documentation for templates on GitHub directly from your terminal.
  Olivier Halligon #697
• Each parser now accepts an options dictionary, with which you can set internal parser settings to change its behaviour. See the parser's specific documentation for available options.
  David Jennes #587 #597
• Strings: the parser now accepts a separator option, used to split keys into structured components. The default separator remains .. For more information, check the parser's documentation.
  David Jennes #576 #588
• Core Data: the built-in templates now support an optional extraImports parameter. With this you can provide a list of modules to additionally import, for when you have properties with types from external modules. For more information, check the template's documentation.
  David Jennes #591 #592
• Core Data: the built-in templates now support RawRepresentable attributes (such as enum, OptionSet, …). They'll check the "User Info" of an attribute for a RawType key, which should be set to the type name you want to use for that attribute. To avoid optional attributes, you can also add the unwrapOptional user info key. For more information, check the template's documentation.
  David Jennes #566 #609 #593 #610
• Strings: the built-in templates now accept a parameter lookupFunction for customizing the localization function, check the template documentation for more information.
  Steven Magdy 426 468 573 716
• Strings: templates to generate Objective-C. Please check the template's documentation for more information.

  Viktoras Laukevičius #669 Olivier Halligon #693

• SwiftGen now properly shows a better help message and the command usage when running an incomplete command, instead of complaining about a config file.
  Olivier Halligon #706
• XCAssets: improved the performance for color assets by caching the resolved colors.
  David Jennes #578 #589

  David Jennes #692
• Colors: Fix compile time warning when long expression type checking is enabled.
  Ryan Mason-Davies #704 #710

• The main branch of the repository has been renamed from master to stable. If you pointed your Podfile or dependency managment tool to master instead of an official release/tag, you will have to update the branch name in your dependency file.

  Wolfgang Lutz #355 #564
• Each parser now accepts a filter option, which accepts a regular expression for filtering input paths. The filter is applied to individual paths as well as when the parser recurses into directories.
  David Jennes #383 #570

• Colors: Fix an issue where the public access modifier was not being added correctly in the literals-swift3 and literals-swift4 templates when the publicAccess parameter was specified. Also remove some uneccessary public access modifiers from the swift3 and swift4 templates.

⚠️ This major version is a big milestone in which a lot of refactoring and cleaning has been done. Many features added over previous releases have been reworked and unified, while also preparing SwiftGen for future additions. This means that you'll need to adapt your configuration files (or command line invocations) and custom templates to work with this new major version.

Read the SwiftGen 6.0 Migration Guide for a list of changes you'll need to apply.

• StencilSwiftKit 2.7.0
• Stencil 0.13.1

• Don't normalize string keys while parsing, let all transformation be done on template side. This makes the developer responsible to keep the language file organized, duplications won't be removed.
  Diego Chohfi #257
• Remove Swift 2 support.
  David Jennes #420
• Renamed the storyboards command to ib, to better reflect it's purpose. An alias for storyboards still exists, but it will be removed at some point.
  David Jennes #423
• XCAssets: the generated templates won't namespace groups by default anymore, use the forceProvidesNamespaces flag to enable this behaviour again.
  jechris #453
• XCAssets: the templates won't generate any all-values accessors anymore by default. Use the allValues flag to enable this behaviour again. Note: this replaces the old noAllValues flag (with an inverse behaviour).
  David Jennes #480
• XCAssets: Dropped the deprecated allValues constant, use the type specific constants such as allColors, allDataItems and allImages. The default value of imageAlias has also been changed from Image to AssetImageTypeAlias, to be consistent with the other types.

  David Jennes #419

• Add ability to list all custom fonts and register them using FontFamily.registerAllCustomFonts.
  Olivier Halligon #394
• Add support for Swift Package Manager and Mint.
  Yonas Kolb #411
• The swiftgen.yml config file now accepts multiple outputs for each parser, allowing you to generate multiple outputs from the same files and content. This also means that the output parameter is now deprecated, in favour of the outputs parameter, and it may be removed in a future version of SwiftGen. Similarly, the paths parameter has been renamed to inputs for consistency. You can always use swiftgen config lint to validate your configuration file.
  David Jennes #424 #510
• Use swiftlint:disable all in generated files to avoid interference with SwiftLint rules custom to the host project.
  Frederick Pietschmann David Jennes #409 #506
• XCAssets: Added support for NSDataAssets.
  Oliver Jones #444
• Organised the generated code in sections for better readability, with all generated constants at the top of the file.
  David Jennes Olivier Halligon #456 #481
• Added support for JSON, Plist and YAML files using the swiftgen json, swiftgen plist and swiftgen yaml commands. The parsed contexts and the generated files for each parser have been kept quite similar, for easier switching between file formats.
  John T McIntosh Toshihiro Suzuki Peter Livesey David Jennes #379 #359 #288 #188 #493 #504
• Updated the playgrounds with the new json, plist and yaml parsers, and updated the other pages to reflect the template changes.
  David Jennes #495
• We're deprecating the old --template CLI option in favor of --templateName, to better match the naming of the other options and the configuration file. The old --template option will remain until the next major version.
  David Jennes #509

• Fix memory leak in generated code for Fonts.
  Olivier Halligon #394
• Interface Builder: ensure the templates handle GLKViewController, AVPlayerViewController and NSPageController correctly.
  David Jennes #404 #414
• Interface Builder: ensure the parser can handle files with and without "trait variations".

• Restrict SceneType and InitialSceneType to UIViewController when not targeting AppKit. When targeting AppKit, remove superfluous Any.
  Darron Schall #463 #464
• Fonts: disable a warning in generated font files for projects with conditional_returns_on_newlines SwiftLint rule enabled.
  Ryan Davies #436 #465
• Interface Builder: the parser and templates now handle the "Inherit module from target" setting.
  David Jennes #435 #485
• Strings: the parser now correctly handles formats such as % d and %#x.

⚠️ This major version is a big milestone in which a lot of refactoring and cleaning has been done. Many features added over previous releases have been reworked and unified, while also preparing SwiftGen for future additions. This means that you'll need to adapt your command line invocations and custom templates to work with this new major version.

  David Jennes #301
• Disable default value for named template option and ensure that there is a template option.
  Liquidsoul #283
• Templates are now grouped by parser on the filesystem. This is only important if you had custom templates in the Application Support directory. To migrate your templates, place them in a subfolder with the name of the parser, and remove the prefix of the template filename.
  David Jennes #304
• The images command has been renamed to xcassets to better reflect its functionality.
  Olivier Halligon #317

• Many deprecated templates have been removed (or merged), and others have been renamed to reflect new behaviours. Please check the templates migration guide for more information.

• SwiftGenKit 1.0.1
• StencilSwiftKit 1.0.0
• Stencil 0.8.0
• templates 1.0.0

• You can now pass custom parameters to your templates using the --param X=Y syntax.
  @djbe #265
  • This command-line option can be repeated at will and used to pass structured custom parameters (e.g. --param tabs=2 --param foo.bar=1 --param foo.baz=2).
  • You can then use them in your templates using e.g. {{param.tabs}}, {{param.foo.bar}} & {{param.foo.baz}}.
• Templates can now access environment variables via the env key of the Stencil context (e.g. {{env.USER}}, {{env.LANG}}).
  @djbe #265
  • This is especially useful when integrating SwiftGen as a Script Build Phase in your Xcode project as you can then access Xcode Build Settings exposed as environment variables by Xcode, e.g. {{env.PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME}}.

• Use an explicit bundle parameter to support frameworks for all templates.
  @NachoSoto @djbe #255 SwiftGen/templates#17

In preparation for an upcoming cleanup of SwiftGen to remove some legacy code as well as Stencil old variables, tags and filters, and change the default templates to Swift 3, some things are being deprecated and will be removed in the next major version 5.0.

As a result, if you wrote custom templates, you should already prepare for the upcoming 5.0 by migrating your templates to use the new variables (already avaiable in SwiftGen 4.2 / SwiftGenKit 1.0).

See #244 and the Migration Guide for a list of deprecations and their replacements.

• Storyboards templates won't import your app module anymore, removing that annoying warning.
  @djbe SwiftGen/templates#19

• SwiftGen has migrated to its own GitHub organization 🎉.
• SwiftGen has been split in multiple repositories and separate modules.
  Olivier Halligon @djbe #240 #265
  • The present SwiftGen is the CLI parsing. It is in charge of calling the frameworks, feeding them appropriate parameters according to the command line arguments.
  • SwiftGenKit is the framework responsible for parsing your assets/resources and turning them into a structured representation compatible with Stencil templates.
  • StencilSwiftKit is a framework adding some extensions to the template engine Stencil used by SwiftGen. It adds some tags and filters as well as convenience methods shared both by SwiftGen itself and by Sourcery.
  • The SwiftGen templates has been moved into a dedicated templates repo so they can evolve and be unit-tested separately of SwiftGen.

Note: The next minor version will focus on bringing more documentation for all this new structure and improve ease of future contributions.

• Added a script reference to simplify and automate localization of existing non localized project.

Now using UnsafePointer<()> arguments instead for such odd edge-cases that should never happen anyway.
  Olivier Halligon
• Now reports an error when it failed to parse a color in a color input file.

💡 You can now create your custom templates more easier than ever, by cloning an existing template!

e.g. to clone the default strings-default.stencil template:

• use swiftgen templates cat strings --output strings-custom.stencil
• modify the cloned strings-custom.stencil template to your liking
• use it with swiftgen strings … --templatePath strings-custom.stencil … in your projects!

• Some keys for various templates have changed to provide more flexibility and enable some new features in the templates. As a result, if you created your own custom templates, they might not all be totally compatible with SwiftGen 3.0.0 (hence the new major version). Please read the Custom Templates documentation to find out the new Stencil context keys and update your custom templates accordingly.

If you're using one of the bundled templates, all of them have been updated appropriately.

• Also if you use Swift 3, and thus use the -t swift3 flag to use the Swift 3 templates, be advised those has been modified to take the latest Swift 3 modifications into account (including naming convensions) so your code might need to be updated according to match the latest Swift 3 recommendations.

• Fix issue with txt files bailing on comments.
  Derek Ostrander #140
• Added support for tvOS and watchOS in images, fonts and color templates.
  Tom Baranes #145
• Added enum-based structured identifiers via -t structured option.
  Cihat Gündüz #148
• Added support for OSX in storyboards.
  Tom Baranes #131

Note: The Stencil context keys (the name of the variables used in templates) for storyboard has changed a bit. Especially, class has been renamed into customClass (see #131) to better describe the intent (as this isn't defined if there is no custom class set in the Storyboard), and new keys isBaseViewController and baseType has been added.

This means that if you did implement your own custom templates for storyboards (instead of using the bundled ones), you'll have to remplace {{class}} by {{customClass}} in those storyboard templates, otherwise they'll probably stop working as expected. That's the main reason why the version has been bumped to a major version 2.0.0.

• Migrating to Commander to parse the CLI arguments.
  23 #30
• swiftgen is now a single binary, and the subcommand names have changed to be more consistent.

  #2
• Added Unit Tests (one per executable + one for common code).
  #2
• Improved SwiftGen-L10n parsing of format strings and placeholders.

• Reducted the default code generated by SwiftGenColorEnumBuilder to avoid clobbering the UIColor namespace
• Changed the "namespacing enum" in UIStoryboard to a struct to avoid confusion with the inner enums
• The UIStoryboard.Scene enums now use static func instead of static var for the dedicated ViewController constructors ^(†)

^(†) because it feels more explicit that calling a function like UIStoryboard.Scene.Wizard.validatePasswordViewController() will actually instantiate a new ViewController, rather than returning an existing one.
