## What it is
A Swift library for iOS that automatically shows a 'What's New' screen after an app update, similar to Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Developers list new features with optional icons, customize the appearance, and control when the screen is presented.

## Use cases
- show new features after an ios app update
- display a whats new screen like apple keynote
- present a changelog popup on app version change
- highlight new features to users after updating an app
- customize a release notes view controller in swift

## When to choose
- you are building an iOS app in Swift and want an Apple-style What's New screen with minimal setup
- you want configurable presentation rules, such as showing only on major updates

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform or SwiftUI-native solution
- you require a library under active development, since the latest release dates to 2019
