Latest release gives (fixable, but annoying) compiler errors

Hi!

I'm talking about these errors:

In that release, those errors are fixed by changing as to as!. But I've also downloaded your develop branch and they are gone in your latest commit (I think you did the fixing at f5f8c0fd). I just want to ask, when is the next release coming? To prepare my Package.swift files accordingly :)

I've released version 1.1 with the current develop branch.

How are you getting these errors? I can't reproduce these. I'm using the Swift 3.0 and Swift 3.1 releases that ship with Xcode.

OMG, thank you so much! :)

Ah. It must be because I'm using a Swift 3.1.1 repo. If I remember correctly, there was some discussion in the mailing lists about AnyObject and how apparently it wasn't a good tool for the jobs it did. Therefore a recent PR (I think from Slava Pestov) changed how it was used. That must be it :thinking:

But actually, I'd be using the same binaries as you are if it weren't because I work on Linux. I need these recent commits (plus some cherrypicks that haven't been released in a tag yet) to have full Sourcekit support on Linux. I thought we were all having the same compiling errors until you said that you didn't :smile:
