2.2.0

Fixes (also sort of a new feature):

• Support the new Swift Evolution JSON metadata format.

  If you get a parse error in v2.1.0, please update to v2.2.0.

  For details on the new metadata format, see James Dempsey’s Swift Forum thread Swift Evolution Metadata Transition (2024-04). A benefit of the new format is that we can display and search some additional metadata, e.g. the upcoming feature flag a proposal introduces.

2.1.0

New maintainer: @ole

Bugfixes and improvements:

• Fix broken proposal retrieval by adapting to data format and URL changes on swift.org.

• The proposal title is now displayed more prominently in Alfred (together with the proposal ID).

• New actions in Alfred:

  • Hold down Command to copy the proposal title to the clipboard.
  • Hold down Shift+Command to copy a Markdown link to the proposal to the clipboard.
  • (To copy the URL, hit Tab on a proposal and select Copy as Plain Text from the menu. This is not a new feature.)

• The script now forwards four variables to Alfred that can be used in subsequent workflow actions:

  • proposal_id (e.g. "SE-0304")
  • proposal_title ("Structured concurrency")
  • proposal_status ("Implemented")
  • proposal_url ("https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals/0304-structured-concurrency.md")

  If you want to customize the workflow for your needs, you can use these variables in your actions. Refer to the "Copy Markdown link" action for an example.

• Display more detailed error messages in Alfred on network or parsing failures.

2.0.1

This is a bugfix release with the following changes:

• The query string is now case insensitive, as it should be.
• You can now search for proposals using the internal name of a
  particular proposal status (such as .rejected or
  .acceptedWithRevisions).
• You now have to insert a space between se and your
  query string. Previously, the workflow also triggered for queries
  such as setup, which was not a good idea.
• The timing of how the script is run when you modify the query
  string has been tweaked.

2.0.0

This third release of alfred-swift-evolution contains the following improvements:

• The script implementing the workflow is now written in Swift.
• Proposal information is now downloaded from the JSON API behind the official Swift evolution review status page.
• Alfred now displays a list of matching proposals, not just a generic item for running the actual lookup.
• Matching proposals are now listed with their title and current status.
• You can filter proposals by keyword or status, not just by proposal number.

(The first two releases of the workflow are not included in this repository.)
