Hello, I'm pleased to announce a new release of the Swift toolkit for SQLite databases. **GRDB 7.0.0-beta is Xcode 16 and Swift 6 ready!** To upgrade, please follow the [migration guide](https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift/blob/master/Documentation/GRDB7MigrationGuide.md). Raising the Swift concurrency checkings of Swift 6 can create compiler warnings. The new [Swift Concurrency and GRDB](https://swiftpackageindex.com/groue/grdb.swift/v7.0.0-beta.2/documentation/grdb/swiftconcurrency) guide is there to help you use GRDB from your Swift 6 code. If you are looking for inspiration, the [demo app](https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift/tree/master/Documentation/DemoApps/GRDBDemo) was rewritten from scratch in a brand new Xcode 16 project. Please upgrade your applications, and report any issue on GitHub! [Full release notes](https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#700-beta2) ---

i can’t seem to build the [v7.0.0-beta.2](https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift/releases/tag/v7.0.0-beta.2) successfully using the 6.0.1 toolchain, here is a log of the documentation build on Swiftinit: [https://static.swiftinit.org/logs/2024-09-29/5916/23-1727627278357.build.log](https://static.swiftinit.org/logs/2024-09-29/5916/23-1727627278357.build.log) i also attempted to build the tag locally and got the same result. any idea what’s going on? ---

> [@taylorswift](#): > > any idea what’s going on? The logs you linked to say that various types such as `DispatchQoS`, `DispatchSpecificKey` are not Sendable. In the SDK that ships with Xcode 16, those types are Sendable (or conditionally Sendable). It looks like the SDK you are using is not up-to-date. I recommend upgrading, or opening issues in the related repositories. ---

i see, i believe this is because [`DispatchQoS`](https://swiftinit.org/docs/swift/dispatch/dispatchqos) and [`DispatchSpecificKey`](https://swiftinit.org/docs/swift/dispatch/dispatchspecifickey) simply did not receive these conformances in Swift 6.0.1 on linux, which is yet another in a long list of platform traps between the macOS and linux versions of the standard library. i understand GRDB.swift does not officially support linux, however, the 6.x release series was (serendipitously) buildable on linux, which allowed us to index [the documentation](https://swiftinit.org/tags/grdb) for those tags on Swiftinit. although you could probably restore linux buildability by adding `#if`-gated conformances or `@preconcurrency` imports, this really feels like something that needs to be fixed in the standard library itself. ---

> [@taylorswift](#): > > i understand GRDB.swift does not officially support linux, however, the 6.x release series was (serendipitously) buildable on linux GRDB 6 could build on Linux thanks to the contributions of generous users. I hope GRDB 7 will eventually build on Linux as well. I agree it's more an issue with the SDK than with the library itself. ---

i opened [`DispatchQoS` and `DispatchSpecificKey` should have consistent `Sendable` conformances between macOS and linux · Issue #76773 · swiftlang/swift · GitHub](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/issues/76773) against swiftlang/swift and i created this PR for GRDB.swift itself: > > > see https://forums.swift.org/t/grdb-7-beta/75018/4 > > \### Pull Request Checklist… > > \- \[x\] CONTRIBUTING: You have read https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md > \- \[x\] BRANCH: This pull request is submitted against the \`development\` branch. > \- \[x\] DOCUMENTATION: Inline documentation has been updated. > \- \[x\] DOCUMENTATION: README.md or another dedicated guide has been updated. > \- \[\] TESTS: Changes are tested. > \- \[\] TESTS: The \`make smokeTest\` terminal command runs without failure. as i am developing from linux i wasn’t able to complete all the steps on the PR checklist, unfortunately. ---
