> Support for Swift-3 was added in THRIFT-3773, however this work needs to be completed.
> Are there breaking changes?
> {quote}No/Yes? The compiler is written to allow for the Old Cocoa/Swift with a compiler flag, so anyone still using swift 1 or 2 should still be able to use the Cocoa style generator but will have to use a compiler flag
> {quote}
> Are they documented?
> {quote}I don't believe thats documented anywhere
> {quote}
> Is it already running in the cross test or is that future work?
> {quote}No tests written for this, that is future work
> {quote}
> Can this be exercised in the Travis CI build environment? (make check, make cross?)
> {quote}Should be exercisable in Travis though no tests currently
> {quote}
> Can I add swift support to Ubuntu Xenial and Artful?
> {quote}I'm not sure where the Swift compiler support for Xenial and Artful currently is, but should be available.
> {quote}
> What minimum and maximum versions are known supported?
> {quote}Given backwards compatibility with Cocoa/Swift generator this should work with all Swift versions v1 through v4 (for Swift 1 and 2, the Cocoa library which is Obj-C is required along with the cocoa flag when generating code, for Swift 3+ the dedicated Swift library is required)
> {quote}
> Has the LANGUAGES.md file been updated?
> {quote}LANGUAGES.md has not been updated
> {quote}
> Has the build/docker/README.md file been updated?
> {quote}build/docker/README.md have not been updated
> {quote}
> Is this supposed to replace the cocoa implementation? Should that be removed?
> {quote}The cocoa implementation is separate from this implementation. The Cocoa compiler/libraries exist for Obj-C, and Swift 1 & 2, whereas Swift 3+ operate independently without Cocoa (as Swift 3 and up can run on Linux without Obj-C runtime/libraries). That being said the old Swift/Cocoa compiler is "gone/removed" and there is "only 1 Swift compiler" given the old Swift/Cocoa compiler is integrated in this as a compiler flag
