I’m on a mac and I remembering downloading a trial of version 3 (which i no longer have)-  
I really want to start using swift but can’t afford the purchase right now…  
It seems they’ve taken off version 3 from the erain site and version 4 has no trial (only a 30 day money back guarantee)…  
Anyway- any help would be greatly appreciated- thanks in advance!
