I’m excited to announce some big changes to Swifter today. The first, as you can see from your address bar, is that the site is now SwiftDoc.org. The change in name is meant to mark the beginning of a process: to give the Swift community a site that is both more useful and one we can all be involved with.

Moreover, the site itself is now hosted via GitHub Pages. Plans are in the making for the coming weeks that will involve, you, Gentle Reader, so watch this space.

• Nested types are hoisted to the top-level, e.g. String.Index.

• Now includes ContiguousArray’s join method, due to its one-of-a-kind nested generic term. Bet you’re glad to see that one.
