4.0.0 Beta 1 - The King is dead, long live the King

[Kaspik]

iOS 12 has been around for a while, but with upcoming WWDC, we are ready to let this version go and rest in peace forever. The same could be said about CocoaPods - what used to be the major and most important thing on iOS for developing apps with 3rd party libraries - has been replaced by natively supported way called Swift Package Manager.

Sit tibi terra levis.

Hi, any visibility on the progress of 4.0 branch? Estimated completion?
Any migration guide we can use with beta 2?

[Kaspik]

There should be no migration between beta 1 and beta 2.

We hope we will get 4.0.0 out in June. :)
