it's great! :crazy_face:

Just to quickly double check, do I need the latest beta version of Xcode or can I use the snapshot with the stable Xcode 10.1?

There is no current Xcode beta.

Ups, you're right. Probably the old assumption that there is always a new beta when there is a beta for iOS. Never mind then.

I can't find the "Unlove" button. Hurry up, Apple. Be faster!

good job.

Xcode uses it just fine, but is there a way to build in Swift 5 mode? Otherwise I assume I'm using the compiler in 4.2 mode according to project settings.

The unlove button is just hitting the love button again. You can't unlove something after a while (an hour?) though, so if you change your mind later you're still stuck with the big red heart on the post.

Did you find a way? I asked the same question here.

Is there interest in nightly snapshots for the Windows build off of the 5.0 branch? The current nightlies are based off of master as I am still working through the last of the test failures. Setting up the additional build is easy, the question is, is it valuable?
