New concurrency keywords and AI generated commit comments

There is a new beta of Xcode and Swift 6, Xcode 26 and Swift 6.2. There are some new features regarding concurrency in Swift 6.2 and I have just started to read and learn more about them. The GitHub Desktop now includes generating commit comments by GitHub Copilot. From version 2.6.0 of RsyncUI there is more info about the commits.

Macos 26 Tahoe

I have tested installing, by Homebrew, the latest version of RsyncUI on a virtual macOS 26 Tahoe. I did also install the latest version of rsync by Homebrew. And by a short test only, both RsyncUI and the latest version of rsync did run as expected.

And I have commenced some testing and development on the virtual macOS 26 Tahoe and Xcode 26 beta. It might be some macOS 26 Tahoe specific changes to RsyncUI, but it will still support for the last three versions of macOS. Any macOS 26 Tahoe specific changes are handled by compiler directives in code.
