Thanks to @Ilseman's tireless work, Swift 5's String will use UTF-8 as its native representation, with great performance improvements!

The stdlib binary is around 13% smaller with this change

Vapor is splitting out two nice libraries out of their core.

NIOKit
This repo will contain useful conveniences for working with SwiftNIO. Some examples are things like mapping over a Future collection's items.

CodableKit
Vapor has accumulated a ton of useful code for working with Swift's Codable protocols. This includes things like Dummy decoders, basic CodingKey impls, and Encoder/Decoder conformance helpers.
