Breaking

• SwiftLint now requires Swift 5.5 or higher to build.
  JP Simard

• The SwiftLintFramework podspec has been removed. To our knowledge, this was
  completely unused by other projects and was not worth the complexity needed
  to justify its continued maintenance, especially in light of the integration
  of SwiftSyntax. The SwiftLint podspec is still supported.
  JP Simard

• SwiftLint now requires at least Swift 5.0 installed in order to lint files.
  Marcelo Fabri

Experimental

• The force_cast rule and the comment command parsing mechanism have been
  updated to use SwiftSyntax instead of SourceKit. Please report any problems
  you encounter by opening a GitHub issue. If this is successful, more rules may
  use Swift Syntax in the future.

• The legacy_random rule is now enabled by default.
  Marcelo Fabri

• The deployment_target rule now supports the #unavailable syntax
  added in Swift 5.6.

  #3896

• Set the IN_PROCESS_SOURCEKIT environment variable, which will use
  the in-process version of sourcekitd on macOS when Xcode 13 or later is
  selected. This avoids the use of XPC, which is prohibited in some sandboxed
  environments, such as in Swift Package Manager plugins.

Bug Fixes

• Extend class_delegate_protocol to correctly identify cases with the protocol
  body opening brace on a new line.
  Tobisaninfo

• Fix SwiftLint.pkg installer installing multiple copies of SwiftLint.
