2.46.0

Added

• Added support for Swift package traits on remote and local package references, so generated projects preserve the configured trait selections #1629 @philprime

Changed

• Targets in the generated project now follow the declaration order from the source spec (Xcode sidebar, xcodebuild -list output). Previously they were always sorted alphabetically. Applies to both YAML and JSON specs. Declaration order is now also preserved for targets whose platform/name come from a target template and for targets whose key is a ${VARIABLE}. #1619 @mirkokg
• Static frameworks (type: framework.static, or type: framework with MACH_O_TYPE: staticlib) are now embedded by default in dependent applications and test targets, the same as dynamic frameworks. Xcode 15 and later strips the static binary from the embedded copy while keeping the framework's resources. Set embed: false on the dependency to keep the previous behaviour #1628 @daltonclaybrook

Internal

• Update to XcodeProj 9.14.0 #1629 @philprime

2.45.0

2.44.1

• Support major.minor SPM package versions which would otherwise fail to decode to a string in yaml specs #1546 @RomanPodymov
• Fix regression for parallelizable in scheme. It now resolves to "Enabled" and not "Swift Testing Only" #1565 @CraigSiemens

2.44.0

Added

• Basic support for Xcode 16's synchronized folders #1541 @yonaskolb
  • TargetSource.type can now be syncedFolder
  • Options.defaultSourceDirectoryType can be set to syncedFolder for the default type in all sources in the project (defaults to group)
  • Benefits include faster generation and no cache invalidation or need to regenerate when files are added or removed from these folders
  • Note that not all TargetSource options like excludes are supported, just a simple path. Please test and see what is missing in your projects
• Added sanitizer options to run and test actions in Scheme #1550 @hi-kumar

Fixed

• Added validation to ensure that all values in settings.configs are mappings. Previously, passing non-mapping values did not raise an error, making it difficult to detect misconfigurations. Now, SpecParsingError.invalidConfigsMappingFormat is thrown if misused. #1547 @Ryu0118
• Use USER instead of LOGNAME for XCUserData #1559 @KostyaSha

2.43.0

Added

• Added excludeFromProject from local packages #1512 @maximkrouk

2.42.0

Added

• Better support for local Swift packages in Xcode 15 #1465 @kinnarr

Changed

• Better default macroExpansion target in schemes #1471 @erneestoc
