We are happy to announce the release of Swift 5.6.2 for Linux and Windows.

New downloads are available on [Swift.org - Download Swift](https://swift.org/download)

## Release Notes

### swift

- `swift-autolink-extract` now filters common Swift libraries from being duplicated on the linker invocation, reducing the number of times the linker must load these common libraries. This results in a significant reduction in memory use when linking on Linux. ([59114](https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/59114))

### swift-corelibs-foundation

- Fix an issue in JSONDecoder where the decoder uses mismatches accessors on NSNumber for numeric conversion.
