I don’t think the libdispatch and docker items qualify as Swift news.

Good morning Swift friends!
Do you ever mix up Swift dot releases or forget which release is shipping or in development?
Do you ever need to know which Swift shipped with which Xcode?
I know I do. So I made https://swiftversion.net.
I hope you find it useful!
