AttributedString gone in Xcode 8 beta 4?

Using Swift
1

I was updating my project from beta 3 to beta 4 today and it seems AttributedString disappeared. Changing it to NSAttributedString fixed it.

I don't see anything in the Release Notes about AttributedString.

Is it gone permanently? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Dave Reed

I believe the removal of NS from some foundation types was reversed after
feedback and further consideration.

Ah, I thought there was already a value type AttributedString that I was now using.

That was pretty much the rationale for restoring “NS". :-)
