Nuke 13 is an incremental release that takes more advantage of Swift Concurrency and Data Race Safety by introducing a global ImagePipelineActor on which its subsystems are all synchronized. It ensures thread-safety, removes 20 usages of @unchecked Sendable, and makes the framework even leaner with ~5% less code in the main module. The future versions will completely switch to Swift Concurrency, but it will require a couple of more iterations.

Requirement: Xcode 16.

• Increase deployment targets to iOS 14, tvOS 14, macOS 11, watchOS 7
• Add global actor ImagePipelineActor. ImagePipeline, ImageTask, ImagePrefetcher, and some other internal types are synchronized on the new actor.
• Soft-deprecate closure-based ImagePipeline APIs
• Soft-deprecate ImagePipeline Combine extension and move them to NukeExtensions
• Remove ImagePipeline.Configuration.callbackQueue
• Remove queue parameter from ImagePipeline and method. The callbacks are now isolated to the and are .
