Notes

Carry over

  • :a: @tachyonics to refactor the Swift.org post

  • :a: @tachyonics Create GH issue for SwiftPM feature to allow multiple conflicting major versions and start forums post about it

  • :a: @sebsto To check if AmazonLinux2023 is working on 6.1 now. Last time check there was a build issue, needs some prerequisites to get build running, not had enough time recently.

    • Likely action on this only in second part of July
  • Adam talked to Fabian about reviewing AWS Lambda PRs

    • Sebastian requesting someone review PRs so we can do a stable release; Fabian not available to do that so we need to find some others
    • Konrad, Franz and others in SSWG offered to do the reviews when pinged
    • Adam can have a look since he had some experience with it
    • This is holding off the 2.0 release.
    • Adam will not be available this week, until mid-June, but from there spend one hour together on the runtime reviews
      • Questions are about using NIO async stream or not, and such questions.
    • Parked until AWS less busy in next weeks.
  • Goals post

  • SE 0461 Run nonisolated async functions on the caller's actor by default

    • Are there any concerns about this?
    • Konrad: No, we're quite happy about the not hopping off in server apps because it'll make less hopping
      • For example this will be nice so we don't have to do more
    • This is different than the "main actor by default", which doesn't affect us in server use cases either way.

Misc topics:

  • Tim: Server Side Swift conference
    • submit proposals!
  • Sven: Package index - will start android and wasm compatibility testing soon
  • SendableMetatype
    • Franz: you may hit this, this is about isolated confrmance
    • Likely increase in 6.2 warnings, we'll see after new Xcode is released.
    • We'll check Swift 6 warnings once we have them
    • :a: Tim to check how many new warnings in Vapor in 6.2
    • Konrad: specifically interested in the sendable metatype causing issues or not, we should communicate this is a thing and suggest how to approach it to library authors.
