We will be doing one final merge of master to the swift-3.1-branch on January 17 at noon (Pacific). Note that we’ve pushed this back a day due to the MLK Jr. Day holiday. Any changes landed after that time will require approval via a pull request against the swift-3.1-branch branch in order to include them in the Swift 3.1 release. After this final merge, development on master will be targeted for Swift 4.<br class=""></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>In association with this change, we’re also planning to update the “stable” branches of Clang/LLVM to be used for Swift 4. Since the LLVM project just branched for LLVM 4.0, we’re going to align with that version for Swift 4. This update to the stable branch is planned for tomorrow after the final merge for Swift 3.1.</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class=""><br class="">Snapshots of the swift-3.1-branch will be made available on the downloads page (<a href="https://swift.org/download/" class="">https://swift.org/download/</a>).
