1.0.0

on GitHub

Breaking changes:

• iOS 7 support is dropped, use R.swift 0.13 if you still have to support it.
• Generated code now depends on the R.swift.Library, CocoaPods users don't need to do anything. Manual installation users need to include this library themselves, see the readme for instructions.
• In general; properties that created new stuff are now functions to represent better that they actually create a new instance.
  • R.image.settingsIcon changed to R.image.settingsIcon()
  • R.file.someJson changed to R.file.someJson()
  • R.storyboard.main.initialViewController changed to R.storyboard.main.initialViewController()
  • R.storyboard.main.someViewController changed to R.storyboard.main.someViewController()
• In general; Where you needed to use .initialize() to get the instance, a shorter function is available now:
  • R.storyboard.main.initialize() changed to R.storyboard.main()
  • R.nib.someView.initiate() changed to R.nib.someView()
• Nib root view loading changed from R.nib.someView.firstView(nil, options: nil) to R.nib.someView.firstView(owner: nil)
• Typed segue syntax changed from segue.typedInfoWithIdentifier(R.segue.someViewController.someSegue) to R.segue.someViewController.someSegue(segue: segue)
• Runtime validation changed:
  • R.validate() now throws errors it encounters
  • R.assertValid() asserts on errors and only performs action in a debug/non-optimized build
  • For regular use cases using R.assertValid() is recommended

Major features and fixes:

• Writing extensions for R.swift generated code is possible by using the types from the new R.swift.Library
• Improved importstatements, R.swift will detect modules that you use and import them in the generated file.
• Improved error reporting, on incorrect calls to the rswift binary as well as during project parsing
• UITraitCollection can be specified when loading images
• The String based path as well as the NSURL of a file can now easily be accessed thanks to an overloaded function
• Constructors are available for all types to provide more flexibility and late initialization (eg. passing a ImageResource around and only creating the image with the special UIImage constructor when you need it)
• Information about resources is now accessible, a few examples:
  • R.image.settingsIcon.name returns the name of the image
  • R.nib.myCell.identifier returns the reuse identifier string of the cell
  • R.storyboard.main.name returns the name of the storyboard
