Swift Concurrency & Swift 6 Strict Currency

[orchetect]

Proposal

Refactors are under way for:

• bringing MIDIKit up to modern Swift Concurrency standards, including compliance with Swift 6's Strict Concurrency mode
• considerations for the @Observable attribute for objects where appropriate, while maintaining backwards-compatibility as far as possible

Benefits

• Compatibility with projects adopting Swift 6
• Improved thread-safety and reliability
• Better interoperability with SwiftUI

Considerations

Because of the code-breaking nature of the requirements of these refactors, they will not be included until the MIDIKit 1.0.0 release which also requires some outstanding work in other areas.

Note

Swift Concurrency requires the package's minimum platform requirements to be bumped to macOS 10.15, iOS 13, tvOS 13, and watchOS 6.
