1.14.0

What's Changed

• Fix clang discovery when compiler isn't named clang
• Update swift_test to fail if it doesn't execute any tests, thanks @jszumski!
• Add --@build_bazel_rules_swift//swift:copt and --@build_bazel_rules_swift//swift:exec_copt flags to replace --swiftcopt and --host_swiftcopt in the future (--host_swiftcopt is already removed from bazel @ HEAD). The easiest migration path is to use --flag_alias=swiftcopt=@build_bazel_rules_swift//swift:copt --flag_alias=host_swiftcopt=@build_bazel_rules_swift//swift:exec_copt
• Fix bazel @ HEAD support removing linking info from the objc provider

1.10.0

What's Changed

• Add support for -package-name via a new package_name attribute on swift_* rules. This requires Swift 5.9+ and enables use of the package ACL
• Replace DEVELOPER_DIR remapping with /PLACEHOLDER_DEVELOPER_DIR to make it easier to differentiate and to use an absolute path which improves index-import performance
• Update platforms to 0.0.7 to support visionOS in the future
• Add an API to compile a .swiftinterface file into a .swiftmodule for vendored frameworks

This release is compatible with 5.x LTS, 6.x LTS, and bazel 7.x rolling releases
