Add support for Swift

[dhoepfl]

Since Apple has revealed its new programming language "Swift", appledoc should support it as valid input. Swift is here and it will not go away any time soon.

I do understand that this is a major change to appledoc.

Swift support will be added to appledoc 3.0

We are all already looking forward using appledoc 3.0! http://www.cocoanetics.com/2014/06/should-i-switch-to-swift/

That is awsome @tomaz
Can't wait to document my swift code.
Any idea on what the 3.0 timeline might be?

Does "Swift support" include the ability to let appledoc autogenerate the swift syntax from Objective-C classes, methods and properties?

Mainly for libraries like cocos2d-swift which are written in ObjC but allow developers to use the API via Swift.

Is this still going to happen? This issue's been open for over 1.5 years now. I saw there is a "3.0-development" release but I tried that and it doesn't seem to be working for Swift. Any updates on this?

[tomaz]

I certainly hope so :) There's effort to develop 3.0 with a group of developers joining in. I prepared starter project and am overlooking the development but can't do much coding due to time constraints; so far the pace was on the slower side, but hope it'll pick up. You're all welcome to join and help make it happen though - check readme file / contact me and I'll add you to project ;)

You can make pull requests before being a collaborator. :)

[tomaz]

@alokc83 Sure, I'll add you to the project. You can start by reading style and collaborator guides on development branch to get familiar with workflow.

[tomaz]

@alokc83 Added you to github, please let me know your email so I can add you to Trello and Slack as well (can use the contact form on http://gentlebytes.com/contact or email me directly if you'd like to keep it private)
