Congrats on the new release.

Please update the download link on [Swift.org - Install Swift](https://www.swift.org/install/windows/) (Manual installation section) - it still points to v6.1 release.

I was disappointed that the fix [DispatchIO.read spinning while pipe is open on Windows · Issue #820 · swiftlang/swift-corelibs-libdispatch · GitHub](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-corelibs-libdispatch/issues/820) was not included in version 6.1.1.

This is now resolved.

In the future, I recommend submitting a pull request targeting the release branch, including a [filled-out description form](https://github.com/swiftlang/.github/blob/main/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/release.md?plain=1). For now, you can propose this change for the `release/6.1` branch (6.1.2). We will let the release manager for the swift-corelibs-libdispatch decide whether to accept this change based on the details provided in your description.

Does this release include the Swift Syntax prebuilt modules to eliminate the 10 minute build time, or have I misunderstood the comments on various GitHub threads about module pre-builds?

Doesn't look like 6.1.1 has made it to the [Docker list](https://hub.docker.com/_/swift), did something hiccup over the weekend that prevented it?

Docker builds have to go through the official Docker CI since Swift is a first class image so the Docker tags are usually a day or two behind

I thought I saw the [PR for 6.1.1](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-docker/pull/473) go in 4 days ago, that's why I was surprised it hadn't shown up yet.

This is the relevant PR

So it's up to a Docker person to merge, and not the Swift team. I'm assuming US holidays have slowed things down somewhat
