" summary

Swift Server Work Group reports concrete outcomes: logging API published this week with API/library separation, Docker images published to Docker Hub for consistent Swift-on-Linux dev/test, and database work moving Postgres and Redis drivers to the Swift Neo concurrency model. Metrics API remains a proposal. Swift Neo libraries update for Swift 5, HTTP/2 parsing is rewritten in pure Swift, SSL switches to BoringSSL vendored builds, and monthly Swift Linux releases continue.
