The docker.io/swift:6.3.2 image (and a couple other tags) only has arm64 variant.

You should use the --tag swift-6.3.2-RELEASE option. Additionally, Swift 6.3.2 was released from the release/6.3 branch, so you can also use that scheme too.

It seems like Swift 6.3.1 is still the current release on the project’s GitHub page: Releases · swiftlang/swift · GitHub . There is a tag for 6.3.2 though Release swift-6.3.2-RELEASE · swiftlang/swift · GitHub .

I`m not sure: are all these changes in Swift 6.3.2 really - I mean really really - BugFixes? It looks like somethink are more than patches and its feels wrong to provide this in a patch version 6.3.2 instead of 6.4 - or not?

Swift doesn't strictly follow semantic versioning. Though personally I'd consider them all fixes of one type or another. SourceKit-LSP's forceResolvedVersions is as close to a new feature I can see, but even that is just "fixing" its mismatched behavior vs. SPM.
