Week 382

Happy Thursday! This week we saw the official release of Xcode 12.5, which, unsurprisingly, is exactly the same build as the RC release from last week. So if you alread have the RC, you don’t have to download it again. With it, Swift 5.4 is now officially released. Time to update your development machines 😊
