Release Notes

1.0.0.beta.7

DownloadSeptember 28, 2026

Breaking

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Improved scan performance compared to beta.2:
    • AWS SDK for Swift: 35% faster (18.634s → 13.827s).
    • Telegram iOS: 34% faster (6.369s → 4.756s).
    • DuckDuckGo iOS: 15% faster (2.550s → 2.210s).
    • Stripe iOS: 6% faster (2.104s → 1.994s).

Bug Fixes

  • Fix superfluous ignore warnings for members that inherit an ignore from their parent declaration.
  • Fix JSON, CodeClimate and GitLab Code Quality output varying in key and attribute order between runs.
  • Fix nondeterministic results when declarations in the same file share an Objective-C name, such as classes with the same @objc(...) name, their extensions, or async and completion-handler forms of the same @objc protocol requirement.
  • Fix declarations being retained solely by requirements on otherwise-unused constrained extensions that do not add a protocol conformance.

1.0.0.beta.6

DownloadSeptember 18, 2026

Breaking

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Updated swift-syntax dependency to 604.0.0.
  • Added a troubleshooting documentation link to USR conflict errors.
  • Support Xcode's new JSON project format (experimental).
  • Homebrew installations no longer require the standalone Xcode Command Line Tools.

Bug Fixes

  • Retain result builder buildPartialBlock(first:) and buildPartialBlock(accumulated:next:) methods.
  • Fix SwiftUI @State analysis with Xcode 27, recognizing projected-value and backing-storage reads and reporting initializer helpers used only by unused state.

1.0.0.beta.5

DownloadSeptember 3, 2026

Breaking

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Updated the XcodeProj dependency.

Bug Fixes

  • None.

1.0.0.beta.4

DownloadAugust 19, 2026

Breaking

  • Removed the xcode_list_arguments configuration option, as xcodebuild -list is no longer invoked.
  • Removed the skip_schemes_validation configuration option. Scheme names are no longer validated, so any scheme can be given, including that of a Swift package.

Enhancements

  • Discover Xcode schemes by parsing the project instead of running xcodebuild -list, which is significantly faster.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix indexing implicitly discovered Interface Builder and Core Data resources in Swift packages.
  • Fix unstable DerivedData path generation.
  • Fix --retain-public, retain_public: true, and // periphery:ignore not retaining public macro declarations.
  • Fix false positive redundant public accessibility warnings for result builders used by public function and initializer parameters.
  • Fix a scan crash when a filesystem-synchronized Xcode source folder starts with **.
  • Fix hand-quoted build_arguments values, such as OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS='$(inherited) -no-warnings-as-errors', being re-quoted when they follow a boolean flag.

1.0.0.beta.3

DownloadAugust 12, 2026

Breaking

  • None.

Enhancements

  • None.

Bug Fixes

  • Authentication flow fixes.

1.0.0.beta.2

DownloadJuly 30, 2026

Breaking

  • None.

Enhancements

  • Added the agent-prompt output format for AI-assisted result removal.
  • Added the name option to the // periphery:override comment command.
  • Scheme validation is now skipped by default, avoiding a slow call to xcodebuild. Use --no-skip-schemes-validation to enable validation of the given scheme names.

Bug Fixes

  • The --write-results file is now written when the output format produces no output for a scan with no results, e.g. --format github-actions.
  • Resolved scan performance regression introduced by duplicate declaration detection.

1.0.0.beta.1

DownloadJuly 21, 2026

Breaking

  • Conflicting declarations now throw an error.
  • Bazel integration has moved to the rules_periphery module, which drives Periphery from Bazel rather than the other way around. The --bazel, --bazel-filter, --bazel-query, --bazel-index-store, and --bazel-check-visibility options have been removed.

Enhancements

  • Significant performance improvements.
  • Added the --retain-equatable-properties and --retain-hashable-properties options to retain all properties on Equatable and Hashable types.

Bug Fixes

  • The --write-results file is now also written when a scan produces no results.

Release notes for versions prior to the fork from the open-source project are available in the previous changelog.
