Add documentation

Improve API for Subscription/Cancellable

I am currently maintaining numerous Swift Packages that don't receive a constant flow of updates, but do receive updates when new Swift updates come out, or as I think of useful additions.

To ensure that I can make some of these less frequent updates without too much friction and with confidence in their correctness I rely heavily on GitHub Actions, which I'll go over in this blog post.

Much better handling of optional values, which also allows for non-optional values

Add support for --output flag to select subcommand

Build docs and attach a release binary to releases

Release candidate 1 for 1.0 stable release

Has lots of tests but little documentation. API has changes a lot since initial 0.1.0 but I’m happy with it now. Hopefully it is consistent and (once docs are added) easy to use.

A common pattern when using closures in Swift is to add [weak self] in the captures list to hold a weak reference to self and avoid a retain cycle. This is then often followed by the following:

guard let self = self else { return }

But I often forget that capture lists can capture other variables in the current scope, so I thought I'd highlight some other use cases.

Today I have released the 1.0.0 version of a Swift package that aids with adding Equatable and Hashable conformance by using KeyPaths.

The package is available on GitHub.

I created the Swift Playground that sparked this concept in December 2018, so this concept has been rattling around in my brain for a couple of years. The API has changed a lot since the original concept, but the core has stayed the same: a protocol that requires a single function to be implemented that uses KeyPaths to synthesise Equatable and/or Hashable conformance.
