Vapor 5 enters beta, and Google ships official Swift client libraries for Google Cloud
Plus WasmKit 0.4 and Swift AWS Lambda Runtime 3.0, from September's Swift releases.
The first beta of Vapor 5 is out. It is a complete rewrite that removes six years of technical debt, adds full structured concurrency support and says goodbye to EventLoopFutures.
Google has released a new SDK: the official Google Cloud client libraries for Swift.
Two smaller releases landed in the same month. WasmKit 0.4, a WebAssembly runtime written in Swift, doubles interpreter speed and can now run on ESP32-C6 microcontrollers and the Playdate. Swift AWS Lambda Runtime 3.0 adds SwiftPM plugins for init, build and deploy.
The Swift.org roundup these come from does not say which Google Cloud services the new libraries cover, or when Vapor 5 is expected to leave beta.
