Swift3がリリースされてから、約一週間が過ぎました。すでにサードパーティーのライブラリなどは、Swift2.3/3に対応しているものも増えてきました。
ここでは、個人的な記録として現時点でのSwiftの変更点を挙げておきます。すでに知ってる方はスルーしていただければと思います。
では、以下が2016/09/21時点でacceptされたのSwift Evolutionとなります。

個人的見解
これらは、Swift Programming Language Evolution: Proposal Statusから引っ張ってきたものです。また、別途参考資料として小野 将之（おの まさゆき）氏のBuild insiderの記事が、Swiftのこれまでの遍歴や、Swift3のトピック、Swift4への考察が詳しくまとれられているので、まだ読んでいない方は、是非一読する事をお勧めします。
本当に、上記の記事が素晴らしいので言う事は無いのですが、Swiftを追いかけるには英語でやりとりされるメーリングリストを毎日眺め、Phantom Typeなど、他の言語仕様にふれ、IPv6やASTなどの技術的な事など、勉強する事・出来る事が山のように出てきます。Swift2 -> 3へはそこまで破壊的な変更（クラスから構造体になったものなどは別として）は、大人しい印象ですが、Swift4へはABI（Application Binary Interface）などの変更もあり、今の内に自分の中でキャッチアップできていない部分を追いかける、チャンスかなと思っています。
おそらく、年末までには恒例のSwift3対応と、ATSの対応があり忙しいとは思いますが、Haskell本などを読んで別の角度から、Swiftを楽しめればなと思いました。
