Factory 2.5 has been released!

[hmlongco]

Factory has moved to version 2.5.0 that works with SPM, Xcode 16 under Strict Concurrency guidelines, and with Swift Testing. And it has a new logo, to boot!

If you're a current Factory user upgrading to 2.5, it's recommended that you switch from importing Factory to FactoryKit.

This name change avoids SPM naming conflicts between the import library name and the primary Factory object, and should fix a number of open issues with the project.

To do so, open your project in Xcode and...

• Select File > Packages > Update to Latest Package Versions
• Select File > Packages > Reset Package Caches
• Go to your application target, remove the Factory library, and add the FactoryKit library
• Go a global search and replace, renaming import Factory to import FactoryKit
• Clean and build your project.

You may need to do the same for any other targets or modules that imported Factory.

While the original Factory library import still exists, it will be deprecated and then removed in the future.

Note that the FactoryKit and FactoryTesting library changes are for SPM only. CocoaPods will be frozen to a 2.4.x version in the near future.
