Re: Swift API - Differences between API docs and code

 

Ah, great question Adrian. Ideally the PTL and I work together to
identify a resource to update the API guide prior to the release going
out. John and I spoke early on in the Folsom release timeframe about
potential API changes but then we didn't connect the dots that the
1.5.0 release needs API doc changes. Thanks for bringing it up.

The source for the API guides are housed in separate repos, in this
case it's at:
