Version 4.0.0

[sunshinejr]

Fixes #146, #143, #141, #140, #121, #71, #60, #51, #88 Supersedes: #59, #95

It's happening guys. Most of the work is done.

• [x] Generic subscripts
• [x] Diagnostics for wrong initializers
• [x] Type-enforced DefaultsKey!
• [x] Default values specified in types (static properties defaultValue & defaultArrayValue)
• [x] SAVING [URL] IS NOW BUILT-IN! 🤣
• [x] Custom option to save the default using DefaultsSerializable protocol (risky with arrays though)
• [x] Support for NSCoding - now when you want to use SwiftyUserDefaults with custom NSCoding type, add DefaultsSerializable to your class (no implementation needed, all built-in) and it's working!

  final class FrogSerializable: NSObject, NSCoding, DefaultsSerializable { ... }

• [x] Support for Codable - similar to NSCoding, implement DefaultsSerializable protocol to your Codable subclass

  final class FrogCodable: Codable, DefaultsSerializable { ... }

• [x] Automatic array support
• [x] Removed legacy string-based API
• [x] Removed legacy dictionary-based API
• [x] Added fuckton of tests to make sure it's all working
• [x] Probably forgot about something else, there is so much cool stuff in the release! 😅
• [x] Danger basic setup (so we can accept external contributions more easily)
• [x] Swift Package Manager support
• [x] Enums (Raw-Representable) support
• [x] ~Fix danger so it works 😅 https://github.com/danger/danger-swift/issues/69~ removed for now
• [x] Changelog
• [x] Docs
• [x] Migration guide

In next versions I would like to look at:

• Performance: #139
• Memory leaks: #84 (tested and seems good, but a big performance measuring test case would be awesome)
• Observing changes #67, #87, #118
• NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore #86
• Registering defaults from plist #81
• Multidimensional values #68
• Composite types #103

But if anyone will want to help me out with them, would be awesome!

Weird, build is failing but builds & tests & pod lint went fine. Might need to look into it tomorrow.

Now that I think about it, I’ll probably just remove DefaultsCodableKey and you would just need to conform to DefaultsSerializable in your custom type without implementation (similar to the new NSCoding). I’ll also add a Sourcery template so it will be easier to generate comformances if there are many types in the App.

Updated docs, probably missed something but I'll iterate as we go.

On my way to release version 4.0.0-alpha.1! Live updates in #154 😱

We're still iterating phases? when will we have 4.0.0-alpha.1 removed and move onto 4.0.0 🤩?
