- Added `includes` to `sources` for a Target. This follows the same glob-style as `excludes` but functions as a way to only include files that match a specified pattern. Useful if you only want a certain file type, for example specifying `**/*.swift`. [#637](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/pull/637) @bclymer
- Allow linking of dependencies into static libraries when `link` is set to true [#635](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/pull/635) @kateinoigakukun

- Updated the default `compatibilityVersion` project setting from `Xcode 9.3` to `Xcode 10.0` [#581](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/pull/581) @acecilia

- Fixed Carthage dependencies being incorrectly embedded in WatchKit app bundles instead of a WatchKit app extension [#558](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/pull/558) @KhaosT
- Added ability to automatically find all the frameworks for Carthage dependencies via the global `options.findCarthageFrameworks` or dependency specfic `dependency.findFrameworks`. See the [Carthage](Docs/Usage.md#carthage) usage docs for more info [#506](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/pull/506) [#543](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/pull/543) @rpassis@yonaskolb

- Added `createIntermediateGroups` to individual Target Sources which overrides the top level option [#505](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/pull/505) @yonaskolb
- **BREAKING**: All the paths within `include` files are now relative to that file and not the root spec. This can be disabled with a `relativePaths: false` on the include. See the [documentation](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/blob/master/Docs/ProjectSpec.md#include) for more details [#489](https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/pull/489) @ellneal
