Notable Changes

#7010

On macOS, swift build and swift run now produce binaries that allow backtraces in debug builds. Pass SWIFT_BACKTRACE=enable=yes environment variable to enable backtraces on such binaries when running them.
#7101

Binary artifacts are now cached alongside repository checkouts so they do not need to be re-downloaded across projects.
