See the new/ios10 branch.

For Carthage compatibility, please take a look at new/carthage+ios10 branch.

Hey guys, I think now that Xcode is out we could merge the branch into master

Hi @lfarah

We're holding off on merging this branch because Swift 3.0 is not the default in Xcode 8. Currently Xcode 8 defaults to Swift 2.3 and the developer must specify they wish to use Swift 3.0. Until this becomes default we're probably going to keep this as a separate branch.

I don't have any information on how many developers are using Swift 3.0 vs Swift 2.3, but given I am not getting any questions about how to get it to work with Swift 3.0 makes me think that the number of developers using Swift 3 is minimal, or they're finding this thread easily enough. In either case I am fine with that and we're going to remain opinionated for simplification purposes. I don't want to make Swift 3 a requirement to use the extension since it's not the default. Once it becomes default we'll take another look at what is best for other developers.

I am sorry if this makes your life more difficult though. We do keep this branch up to date with master so that means you're getting the same changes here.

Hey @gks, definitely makes sense! I saw a lot of libraries that make the master with Swift 3 and have a 2.3 branch. I agree 100% with your approach and your view on how Apple decided to make 2.3 as default right now.

This was merged in as of the last release (1.8.5) so I'm closing this as complete.
