Alamofire/Alamofire 5.5.0

Swift Concurrency

on GitHub

Alamofire 5.5 is the first release where we're labeling features we consider experimental. These features, while fully designed and well tested, rely on language or framework features which may change or require breaking bug fixes, and we'd rather not have to make a major release in that case. So [🔥 Experimental 🔥] features may require breaking changes in minor, rather than major, releases. This will be rare and compatibility should be preserved in most cases, but cannot be guaranteed.

Released on 2021-12-13. All issues associated with this milestone can be found using this filter.
