Compiler version

Does anyone know the version of the swift compiler / tester that Exercism uses for Swift? It looks like a solution I came up with ended up using a pretty new feature. It’s only been available since Swift 5.9.

Not sure if I should rewrite the solution to use the older spec, or wait for Exercism to upgrade Swift.

The test runner uses 5.8.

ENV NAME RUNALL

ENTRYPOINT ["./bin/run.sh"]

Wow, thanks for the quick reply!

And thanks for pointing to the repo, I’ll be able to keep an eye on the version now.

Happy Holidays!
