### Language
* Allow using URI strings in `part of` declarations to refer to the
importing library.
2017-03-30 09:55:25 +00:00
A library part now can declare its library either as:
`part of name.of.library;` or as `part of "uriReferenceOfLibrary.dart";` .
This allows libraries with no library declarations (and therefore no name)
to have parts, and it allows tools to easily find the library of a part file.

* Breaking change - it is now a strong mode error if a mixin causes a name
conflict between two private members (field/getter/setter/method) from a
different library. (SDK
issue [28809 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/28809 )).

* Breaking change - strong mode will prefer the expected type to infer generic
types, functions, and methods (SDK
issue [27586 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/27586 )).
2017-03-28 18:30:34 +00:00
```dart
main() {
List< Object > foo = /*infers: < Object > */['hello', 'world'];
var bar = /*infers: < String > */['hello', 'world'];
}
```
2017-03-29 22:54:19 +00:00
2017-03-28 18:30:34 +00:00
* Strong mode inference error messages are improved
(SDK issue [29108 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/29108 )).
```dart
import 'dart:math';
test(Iterable/* fix is to add < num > here */ values) {
num n = values.fold(values.first as num, max);
}
```
Now produces the error on the generic function "max":
```
Couldn't infer type parameter 'T'.
Tried to infer 'dynamic' for 'T' which doesn't work:
Function type declared as '< T extends num > (T, T) → T'
used where '(num, dynamic) → num' is required.
Consider passing explicit type argument(s) to the generic.
```
* Strong mode supports overriding fields, `@virtual` is no longer required
(SDK issue [28120 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/28120 )).
```dart
class C {
int x = 42;
}
class D extends C {
int x = 123;
get y => super.x;
}
main() {
print(new D().x);
print(new D().y);
}
```
2017-03-30 21:22:19 +00:00
* Strong mode down cast composite warnings are no longer issued by default.
(SDK issue [28588 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/28588 )).
```dart
void test() {
List untyped = [];
List< int > typed = untyped; // No down cast composite warning
}
```
To opt back into the warnings, add the following to
the
[.analysis_options ](https://www.dartlang.org/guides/language/analysis-options )
file for your project.
```
analyzer:
errors:
strong_mode_down_cast_composite: warning
```
### Core library changes
* `dart:core`
* Added `Uri.isScheme` function to check the scheme of a URI.
Example: `uri.isScheme("http")` . Ignores case when comparing.
* Make `UriData.parse` validate its input better.
If the data is base-64 encoded, the data is normalized wrt.
alphabet and padding, and it contains invalid base-64 data,
parsing fails. Also normalizes non-base-64 data.
* `dart:io`
* Added functions `File.lastAccessed` , `File.lastAccessedSync` ,
`File.setLastModified` , `File.setLastModifiedSync` , `File.setLastAccessed` ,
and `File.setLastAccessedSync` .
* Added `{Stdin,Stdout}.supportsAnsiEscapes` .
### Dart VM
* Calls to `print()` and `Stdout.write*()` now correctly print unicode
characters to the console on Windows. Calls to `Stdout.add*()` behave as
before.
2017-02-28 23:19:52 +00:00
### Tool changes
* Analysis
2017-03-17 20:39:15 +00:00
* `dartanalyzer` now follows the same rules as the analysis server to find
an analysis options file, stopping when an analysis options file is found:
2017-02-28 23:19:52 +00:00
* Search up the directory hierarchy looking for an analysis options file.
2017-03-23 21:19:52 +00:00
* If analyzing a project referencing the [Flutter ](https://flutter.io/ )
2017-03-17 20:39:15 +00:00
package, then use the
2017-02-28 23:19:52 +00:00
[default Flutter analysis options ](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter/lib/analysis_options_user.yaml )
found in `package:flutter` .
2017-03-23 21:19:52 +00:00
* If in a Bazel workspace, then use the analysis options in
2017-03-17 20:39:15 +00:00
`package:dart.analysis_options/default.yaml` if it exists.
2017-02-28 23:19:52 +00:00
* Use the default analysis options rules.
* In addition, specific to `dartanalyzer` :
2017-03-23 21:19:52 +00:00
* an analysis options file can be specified on the command line via
2017-03-17 20:39:15 +00:00
`--options` and that file will be used instead of searching for an
analysis options file.
* any analysis option specified on the command line
(e.g. `--strong` or `--no-strong` ) takes precedence over any corresponding
value specified in the analysis options file.
2017-02-28 23:19:52 +00:00
2017-03-15 23:54:12 +00:00
* Dartium, dart2js, and DDC
* Imports to `dart:io` are allowed, but the imported library is not supported
and will likely fail on most APIs at runtime. This change was made as a
stopgap measure to make it easier to write libraries that share code between
platforms (like package `http` ). This might change again when configuration
specific imports are supported.
2017-02-28 23:19:52 +00:00
2017-03-17 20:39:15 +00:00
* Pub
2017-03-17 22:09:46 +00:00
* Now sends telemetry data to `pub.dartlang.org` to allow better understanding
of why a particular package is being accessed.
2017-03-17 20:39:15 +00:00
* `pub publish`
* Warns if a package imports a package that's not a dependency from within
`lib/` or `bin/` , or a package that's not a dev dependency from within
2017-03-17 22:15:10 +00:00
`benchmark/` , `example/` , `test/` or `tool/` .
2017-03-17 20:39:15 +00:00
* No longer produces "UID too large" errors on OS X. All packages are now
uploaded with the user and group names set to "pub".
* No longer fails with a stack overflow when uploading a package that uses
Git submodules.
* `pub get` and `pub upgrade`
* Produce more informative error messages if they're run directly in a
package that uses Flutter.
* Properly unlock SDK and path dependencies if they have a new version
that's also valid according to the user's pubspec.
2017-03-23 21:19:52 +00:00
* dartfmt
2017-03-29 22:54:19 +00:00
* Support new generic function typedef syntax.
2017-03-23 21:19:52 +00:00
* Make the precedence of cascades more visible.
* Fix a couple of places where spurious newlines were inserted.
* Correctly report unchanged formatting when reading from stdin.
2017-03-29 22:54:19 +00:00
* Ensure space between `-` and `--` . Code that does this is pathological, but
it technically meant dartfmt could change the semantics of the code.
* Preserve a blank line between enum cases.
2017-03-23 21:19:52 +00:00
* Other small formatting tweaks.

are no longer supported, and will cause errors. We updated the language spec
and added warnings in 1.21, and are now taking the last step to fully
2017-01-30 16:11:04 +00:00
de-support them. They were previously only supported in the VM, and there
are almost no known uses of them in the wild.
2016-12-30 11:11:15 +00:00
2016-12-20 13:20:59 +00:00
* The `assert()` statement has been expanded to support an optional second
2017-03-23 21:19:52 +00:00
`message` argument
2017-03-17 20:39:15 +00:00
(SDK issue [27342 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/27342 )).
2016-12-20 13:20:59 +00:00
The message is displayed if the assert fails. It can be any object, and it
is accessible as `AssertionError.message` . It can be used to provide more
user friendly exception outputs. As an example, the following assert:
2016-12-20 18:04:29 +00:00
```dart
2016-12-20 13:20:59 +00:00
assert(configFile != null, "Tool config missing. Please see https://goo.gl/k8iAi for details.");
```
would produce the following exception output:
```
Unhandled exception:
2017-01-13 21:12:22 +00:00
'file:///Users/mit/tmp/tool/bin/main.dart': Failed assertion: line 9 pos 10:

```
2017-01-19 14:18:23 +00:00
* The `Null` type has been moved to the bottom of the type hierarchy. As such,
2017-01-30 16:11:04 +00:00
it is considered a subtype of every other type. The `null` *literal* was
always treated as a bottom type. Now the named class `Null` is too:
2017-01-19 14:18:23 +00:00
2017-01-30 16:11:04 +00:00
```dart
const empty = < Null > [];
String concatenate(List< String > parts) => parts.join();
int sum(List< int > numbers) => numbers.fold(0, (sum, n) => sum + n);
concatenate(empty); // OK.
sum(empty); // OK.
```
* Introduce `covariant` modifier on parameters. It indicates that the
parameter (and the corresponding parameter in any method that overrides it)
has looser override rules. In strong mode, these require a runtime type
check to maintain soundness, but enable an architectural pattern that is
useful in some code.
It lets you specialize a family of classes together, like so:
```dart
abstract class Predator {
void chaseAndEat(covariant Prey p);
}
abstract class Prey {}
class Mouse extends Prey {}
class Seal extends Prey {}
class Cat extends Predator {
void chaseAndEat(Mouse m) => ...
}
class Orca extends Predator {
void chaseAndEat(Seal s) => ...
}
```
This isn't statically safe, because you could do:
```dart
Predator predator = new Cat(); // Upcast.
2017-02-03 00:21:23 +00:00
predator.chaseAndEat(new Seal()); // Cats can't eat seals!
2017-01-30 16:11:04 +00:00
```
To preserve soundness in strong mode, in the body of a method that uses a
covariant override (here, `Cat.chaseAndEat()` ), the compiler automatically
inserts a check that the parameter is of the expected type. So the compiler
gives you something like:
```dart
class Cat extends Predator {
void chaseAndEat(o) {
var m = o as Mouse;
...
}
}
```
Spec mode allows this unsound behavior on all parameters, even though users
rarely rely on it. Strong mode disallowed it initially. Now, strong mode
lets you opt into this behavior in the places where you do want it by using
this modifier. Outside of strong mode, the modifier is ignored.
* Change instantiate-to-bounds rules for generic type parameters when running
in strong mode. If you leave off the type parameters from a generic type, we
need to decide what to fill them in with. Dart 1.0 says just use `dynamic` ,
but that isn't sound:
```dart
class Abser< T extends num > {
void absThis(T n) { n.abs(); }
}
var a = new Abser(); // Abser< dynamic > .
a.absThis("not a num");
2017-01-19 14:18:23 +00:00
```
2017-01-30 16:11:04 +00:00
We want the body of `absThis()` to be able to safely assume `n` is at
least a `num` -- that's why there's a constraint on T, after all. Implicitly
using `dynamic` as the type parameter in this example breaks that.
Instead, strong mode uses the bound. In the above example, it fills it in
with `num` , and then the second line where a string is passed becomes a
static error.
However, there are some cases where it is hard to figure out what that
default bound should be:
```dart
class RuhRoh< T extends Comparable < T > > {}
```
Strong mode's initial behavior sometimes produced surprising, unintended
results. For 1.22, we take a simpler approach and then report an error if
a good default type argument can't be found.
### Core libraries
* Define `FutureOr<T>` for code that works with either a future or an
immediate value of some type. For example, say you do a lot of text
manipulation, and you want a handy function to chain a bunch of them:
```dart
typedef String StringSwizzler(String input);
String swizzle(String input, List< StringSwizzler > swizzlers) {
var result = input;
for (var swizzler in swizzlers) {
result = swizzler(result);
}
return result;
}
2017-01-19 14:18:23 +00:00
```
2017-01-30 16:11:04 +00:00
This works fine:
```dart
main() {
var result = swizzle("input", [
(s) => s.toUpperCase(),
(s) => () => s * 2)
]);
print(result); // "INPUTINPUT".
}
```
Later, you realize you'd also like to support swizzlers that are
asynchronous (maybe they look up synonyms for words online). You could make
your API strictly asynchronous, but then users of simple synchronous
swizzlers have to manually wrap the return value in a `Future.value()` .
Ideally, your `swizzle()` function would be "polymorphic over asynchrony".
It would allow both synchronous and asynchronous swizzlers. Because `await`
accepts immediate values, it is easy to implement this dynamically:
```dart
Future< String > swizzle(String input, List< StringSwizzler > swizzlers) async {
var result = input;
for (var swizzler in swizzlers) {
result = await swizzler(result);
}
return result;
}
main() async {
var result = swizzle("input", [
(s) => s.toUpperCase(),
(s) => new Future.delayed(new Duration(milliseconds: 40), () => s * 2)
]);
print(await result);
}
```
What should the declared return type on StringSwizzler be? In the past, you
had to use `dynamic` or `Object` , but that doesn't tell the user much. Now,
you can do:
```dart
typedef FutureOr< String > StringSwizzler(String input);
```
Like the name implies, `FutureOr<String>` is a union type. It can be a
`String` or a `Future<String>` , but not anything else. In this case, that's
not super useful beyond just stating a more precise type for readers of the
code. It does give you a little better error checking in code that uses the
result of that.
`FutureOr<T>` becomes really important in *generic* methods like
`Future.then()` . In those cases, having the type system understand this
magical union type helps type inference figure out the type argument of
`then()` based on the closure you pass it.
Previously, strong mode had hard-coded rules for handling `Future.then()`
specifically. `FutureOr<T>` exposes that functionality so third-party APIs
can take advantage of it too.
2016-12-08 21:17:30 +00:00
### Tool changes
2016-12-14 20:57:35 +00:00
* Dart2Js
* Remove support for (long-time deprecated) mixin typedefs.
2016-12-08 21:17:30 +00:00
* Pub
* Avoid using a barback asset server for executables unless they actually use
transformers. This makes precompilation substantially faster, produces
better error messages when precompilation fails, and allows
globally-activated executables to consistently use the
`Isolate.resolvePackageUri()` API.
2017-01-13 21:12:22 +00:00
* On Linux systems, always ignore packages' original file owners and
2016-12-08 21:17:30 +00:00
permissions when extracting those packages. This was already the default
under most circumstances.
* Properly close the standard input stream of child processes started using
`pub run` .
* Handle parse errors from the package cache more gracefully. A package whose
pubspec can't be parsed will now be ignored by `pub get --offline` and
deleted by `pub cache repair` .
2017-01-13 21:12:22 +00:00
* Make `pub run` run executables in spawned isolates. This lets them handle
signals and use standard IO reliably.
2016-12-13 13:04:06 +00:00
2017-01-28 00:48:58 +00:00
* Fix source-maps produced by dart2js when running in `pub serve` : URL
references to assets from packages match the location where `pub serve`
serves them (`packages/package_name/` instead of
`../packages/package_name/` ).
2017-01-20 19:00:51 +00:00
### Infrastructure changes
* The SDK now uses GN rather than gyp to generate its build files, which will
now be exclusively ninja flavored. Documentation can be found on our
[wiki ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/wiki/Building-with-GN ). Also see the
help message of `tools/gn.py` . This change is in response to the deprecation
of gyp. Build file generation with gyp will continue to be available in this
release by setting the environment variable `DART_USE_GYP` before running
`gclient sync` or `gclient runhooks` , but this will be removed in a future
release.

statement. (SDK issue
[27650 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/27650 ))
2016-11-02 13:31:04 +00:00
* Also don't warn if the entire switch case is wrapped in braces - as long as
the block ends with a `break` , `continue` , `rethrow` , `return` or `throw` .
2016-10-14 09:34:53 +00:00
* Allow `=` as well as `:` as separator for named parameter default values.
2016-12-15 11:09:39 +00:00
```dart
enableFlags({bool hidden: false}) { … }

2016-08-18 12:09:20 +00:00
2016-08-30 16:31:47 +00:00
### Dart VM
* We have improved the way that the VM locates the native code library for a
native extension (e.g. `dart-ext:` import). We have updated this
[article on native extensions ](https://www.dartlang.org/articles/dart-vm/native-extensions )
to reflect the VM's improved behavior.
2016-09-28 18:35:45 +00:00
* Linux builds of the VM will now use the `tcmalloc` library for memory
2016-09-16 16:30:45 +00:00
allocation. This has the advantages of better debugging and profiling support
and faster small allocations, with the cost of slightly larger initial memory
footprint, and slightly slower large allocations.
2016-09-16 16:08:51 +00:00
* We have improved the way the VM searches for trusted root certificates for
secure socket connections on Linux. First, the VM will look for trusted root
certificates in standard locations on the file system
2016-09-28 18:35:45 +00:00
(`/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt` followed by `/etc/ssl/certs` ), and only if
2016-09-16 16:08:51 +00:00
these do not exist will it fall back on the builtin trusted root certificates.
This behavior can be overridden on Linux with the new flags
2016-09-28 18:35:45 +00:00
`--root-certs-file` and `--root-certs-cache` . The former is the path to a file
2016-09-16 16:08:51 +00:00
containing the trusted root certificates, and the latter is the path to a
directory containing root certificate files hashed using `c_rehash` .
2016-09-28 18:35:45 +00:00
* The VM now throws a catchable `Error` when method compilation fails. This
2016-12-15 11:09:39 +00:00
allows easier debugging of syntax errors, especially when testing. (SDK issue
[23684 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/23684 ))
2016-09-28 18:35:45 +00:00
2016-08-18 12:09:20 +00:00
### Core library changes
2016-09-23 20:56:57 +00:00
2016-08-26 09:58:04 +00:00
* `dart:core` : Remove deprecated `Resource` class.
Use the class in `package:resource` instead.
2016-08-18 12:09:20 +00:00
* `dart:async`
* `Future.wait` now catches synchronous errors and returns them in the
2016-12-15 11:09:39 +00:00
returned Future. (SDK issue
[27249 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/27249 ))
2016-09-28 18:35:45 +00:00
* More aggressively returns a `Future` on `Stream.cancel` operations.
2016-12-15 11:09:39 +00:00
Discourages to return `null` from `cancel` . (SDK issue
[26777 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/26777 ))
2016-09-05 15:41:22 +00:00
* Fixes a few bugs where the cancel future wasn't passed through
transformations.
2016-08-24 23:15:07 +00:00
* `dart:io`
* Added `WebSocket.addUtf8Text` to allow sending a pre-encoded text message
2016-12-15 11:09:39 +00:00
without a round-trip UTF-8 conversion. (SDK issue
[27129 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/27129 ))
2016-08-18 12:09:20 +00:00
2016-09-16 16:08:51 +00:00
### Strong Mode
2016-09-01 20:38:09 +00:00
* Breaking change - it is an error if a generic type parameter cannot be
inferred (SDK issue [26992 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/26992 )).
```dart
class Cup< T > {
Cup(T t);
}
main() {
// Error because:
// - if we choose Cup< num > it is not assignable to `cOfInt` ,
// - if we choose Cup< int > then `n` is not assignable to int.
num n;
C< int > cOfInt = new C(n);
}
```
2016-09-14 00:26:24 +00:00
* New feature - use `@checked` to override a method and tighten a parameter
type (SDK issue [25578 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/25578 )).
```dart
import 'package:meta/meta.dart' show checked;
class View {
addChild(View v) {}
}
class MyView extends View {
// this override is legal, it will check at runtime if we actually
// got a MyView.
addChild(@checked MyView v) {}
}
main() {
dynamic mv = new MyView();
mv.addChild(new View()); // runtime error
}
```
2016-09-19 16:45:24 +00:00
* New feature - use `@virtual` to allow field overrides in strong mode
(SDK issue [27384 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/27384 )).
```dart
import 'package:meta/meta.dart' show virtual;
class Base {
@virtual int x;
}
class Derived extends Base {
int x;
// Expose the hidden storage slot:
int get superX => super.x;
set superX(int v) { super.x = v; }
}
```
2016-09-16 23:06:19 +00:00
* Breaking change - infer list and map literals from the context type as well as
their values, consistent with generic methods and instance creation
(SDK issue [27151 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/27151 )).
```dart
import 'dart:async';
main() async {
var b = new Future< B > .value(new B());
var c = new Future< C > .value(new C());
var/*infer List< Future < A > >*/ list = [b, c];
var/*infer List< A > */ result = await Future.wait(list);
}
class A {}
class B extends A {}
class C extends A {}
```
2016-09-23 20:56:57 +00:00
### Tool changes
* `dartfmt` - upgraded to v0.2.10
* Don't crash on annotations before parameters with trailing commas.
* Always split enum declarations if they end in a trailing comma.
* Add `--set-exit-if-changed` to set the exit code on a change.
2016-09-29 12:01:13 +00:00
* Pub
* Pub no longer generates a `packages/` directory by default. Instead, it
generates a `.packages` file, called a package spec. To generate
a `packages/` directory in addition to the package spec, use the
`--packages-dir` flag with `pub get` , `pub upgrade` , and `pub downgrade` .
2016-12-15 11:09:39 +00:00

## 1.19.1 - 2016-09-08
Patch release, resolves one issue:
2016-12-15 11:09:39 +00:00
* Dartdoc: Fixes a bug that prevented generation of docs.
(Dartdoc issue [1233 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/dartdoc/issues/1233 ))
2016-10-17 12:04:33 +00:00
## 1.19.0 - 2016-08-26
2016-08-01 21:04:13 +00:00
2016-08-08 08:42:15 +00:00
### Language changes
2016-08-08 09:04:46 +00:00
* The language now allows a trailing comma after the last argument of a call and
the last parameter of a function declaration. This can make long argument or
parameter lists easier to maintain, as commas can be left as-is when
2016-08-08 08:42:15 +00:00
reordering lines. For details, see SDK issue
[26644 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/26644 ).
2016-08-17 17:48:58 +00:00
### Tool Changes
* `dartfmt` - upgraded to v0.2.9+1
* Support trailing commas in argument and parameter lists.
* Gracefully handle read-only files.
* About a dozen other bug fixes.
* Pub
2016-08-17 17:54:48 +00:00
* Added a `--no-packages-dir` flag to `pub get` , `pub upgrade` , and `pub
downgrade`. When this flag is passed, pub will not generate a `packages/`
directory, and will remove that directory and any symlinks to it if they
exist. Note that this replaces the unsupported `--no-package-symlinks` flag.
2016-08-17 17:48:58 +00:00
* Added the ability for packages to declare a constraint on the [Flutter][]
SDK:
```yaml
environment:
flutter: ^0.1.2
sdk: >=1.19.0 < 2.0.0
```
A Flutter constraint will only be satisfiable when pub is running in the
context of the `flutter` executable, and when the Flutter SDK version
matches the constraint.
* Added `sdk` as a new package source that fetches packages from a hard-coded
SDK. Currently only the `flutter` SDK is supported:
```yaml
dependencies:
flutter_driver:
sdk: flutter
version: ^0.0.1
```
A Flutter `sdk` dependency will only be satisfiable when pub is running in
the context of the `flutter` executable, and when the Flutter SDK contains a
package with the given name whose version matches the constraint.
* `tar` files on Linux are now created with `0` as the user and group IDs.
This fixes a crash when publishing packages while using Active Directory.
* Fixed a bug where packages from a hosted HTTP URL were considered the same
as packages from an otherwise-identical HTTPS URL.
* Fixed timer formatting for timers that lasted longer than a minute.
2016-08-04 12:45:01 +00:00
2016-08-17 17:48:58 +00:00
* Eliminate some false negatives when determining whether global executables
are on the user's executable path.
2016-08-17 17:54:48 +00:00
* `dart2js`
* `dart2dart` (aka `dart2js --output-type=dart` ) has been removed (this was deprecated in Dart 1.11).
2016-08-17 17:48:58 +00:00
[Flutter]: https://flutter.io/
### Dart VM
* The dependency on BoringSSL has been rolled forward. Going forward, builds
of the Dart VM including secure sockets will require a compiler with C++11
support. For details, see the
[Building wiki page ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/wiki/Building ).
2016-08-04 12:45:01 +00:00

### Strong Mode
2016-08-05 14:25:14 +00:00
2016-08-05 15:51:44 +00:00
* New feature - an option to disable implicit casts
(SDK issue [26583 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/26583 )),
see the [documentation ](https://github.com/dart-lang/dev_compiler/blob/master/doc/STATIC_SAFETY.md#disable-implicit-casts )
for usage instructions and examples.
* New feature - an option to disable implicit dynamic
(SDK issue [25573 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/25573 )),
see the [documentation ](https://github.com/dart-lang/dev_compiler/blob/master/doc/STATIC_SAFETY.md#disable-implicit-dynamic )
for usage instructions and examples.
* Breaking change - infer generic type arguments from the
2016-08-05 14:25:14 +00:00
constructor invocation arguments
2016-08-10 19:40:37 +00:00
(SDK issue [25220 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/25220 )).
2016-08-05 14:25:14 +00:00
```dart
var map = new Map< String , String > ();
// infer: Map< String , String >
var otherMap = new Map.from(map);
```
2016-08-05 15:51:44 +00:00
* Breaking change - infer local function return type
2016-08-10 19:40:37 +00:00
(SDK issue [26414 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/26414 )).
2016-08-05 14:25:14 +00:00
```dart
void main() {
// infer: return type is int
f() { return 40; }
int y = f() + 2; // type checks
print(y);
}
```
2016-08-05 15:51:44 +00:00
* Breaking change - allow type promotion from a generic type parameter
2016-08-10 19:40:37 +00:00
(SDK issue [26414 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/26965 )).
2016-08-05 15:51:44 +00:00
```dart
void fn/*< T > */(/*=T*/ object) {
if (object is String) {
// Treat `object` as `String` inside this block.
// But it will require a cast to pass it to something that expects `T` .
print(object.substring(1));
}
}
```
2016-08-10 19:40:37 +00:00
* Breaking change - smarter inference for Future.then
(SDK issue [25944 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/25944 )).
Previous workarounds that use async/await or `.then/*<Future<SomeType>>*/`
should no longer be necessary.
```dart
// This will now infer correctly.
Future< List < int > > t2 = f.then((_) => [3]);
// This infers too.
Future< int > t2 = f.then((_) => new Future.value(42));
```
* Breaking change - smarter inference for async functions
(SDK issue [25322 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/25322 )).
```dart
void test() async {
List< int > x = await [4]; // was previously inferred
List< int > y = await new Future.value([4]); // now inferred too
}
```
2016-08-12 21:32:36 +00:00
* Breaking change - sideways casts are no longer allowed
(SDK issue [26120 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/26120 )).
2016-08-03 11:33:41 +00:00

(SDK issue [26400 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/26400 ))
## 1.16.0 - 2016-04-26
2016-01-21 11:58:24 +00:00
Fix core lib DateTime in the VM (fixes #19923).
Symptom of the problem:
Set your Linux workstation (or Mac or MIPS board) to the Europe/London timezone
and the corelib/date_time test will fail, claiming that 1/1/1970 was a Wednesday
(it was actually a Thursday, trust me, I was already born).
Problem:
The implementation of DateTime in the VM relies on Unix time_t, the number of
seconds since the Epoch (1/1/1970 UTC). When asked for the weekday of a given
time, our implementation limits itself to a 32-bit positive range of time_t.
If the time falls outside of this range, the implementation picks an equivalent
time in the valid range with the same weekday, also in leap year or not, etc...
The issue is that DateTime is using the underlying OS in an inconsistent manner.
Let's take the example above: 1/1/1970 in the Europe/London timezone.
First, the number of seconds since the Epoch in UTC is calculated, here 0.
Then, the timezone offset at the given time is calculated using the underlying
OS. In this case, an historical deviation is taken into account. Indeed, London
stayed on British Summer Time between 27 October 1968 and 31 October 1971. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Summer_Time#Periods_of_deviation for
details.
Our resulting time is therefore negative (one hour difference with UTC).
When asked about the weekday of this time, the implementation notices that the
time is not in the positive range and picks an "equivalent" time in the future.
It then asks the underlying OS about the timezone offset for this time, which
is 0 (usually no daylight saving time in January in London). Unfortunately,
this time is not really equivalent, because it ignores the original historical
deviation. The result is wrongly equivalent to 12/31/1969 23:00 in London, i.e.
a Wednesday, and not a Thursday as expected.
Solution:
We should use the underlying OS in a consistent way, by simply allowing the
value of time_t passed to the underlying OS to be negative, which is legal.

### Core library changes
2016-04-09 08:56:09 +00:00
* `dart:convert`
2016-04-07 14:36:14 +00:00
* Added `BASE64URL` codec and corresponding `Base64Codec.urlSafe` constructor.
2016-04-13 22:35:27 +00:00
* Introduce `ChunkedConverter` and deprecate chunked methods on `Converter` .
2016-04-25 21:43:43 +00:00
* `dart:html`
There have been a number of **BREAKING** changes to align APIs with recent
changes in Chrome. These include:
* Chrome's `ShadowRoot` interface no longer has the methods `getElementById` ,
`getElementsByClassName` , and `getElementsByTagName` , e.g.,
```dart
elem.shadowRoot.getElementsByClassName('clazz')
```
should become:
```dart
elem.shadowRoot.querySelectorAll('.clazz')
```
* The `clipboardData` property has been removed from `KeyEvent`
and `Event` . It has been moved to the new `ClipboardEvent` class, which is
now used by `copy` , `cut` , and `paste` events.
* The `layer` property has been removed from `KeyEvent` and
`UIEvent` . It has been moved to `MouseEvent` .
* The `Point get page` property has been removed from `UIEvent` .
It still exists on `MouseEvent` and `Touch` .
There have also been a number of other additions and removals to `dart:html` ,
`dart:indexed_db` , `dart:svg` , `dart:web_audio` , and `dart:web_gl` that
correspond to changes to Chrome APIs between v39 and v45. Many of the breaking
changes represent APIs that would have caused runtime exceptions when compiled
to Javascript and run on recent Chrome releases.
2016-04-01 14:49:09 +00:00
* `dart:io`
* Added `SecurityContext.alpnSupported` , which is true if a platform
supports ALPN, and false otherwise.
2016-04-25 21:43:43 +00:00
### JavaScript interop
For performance reasons, a potentially **BREAKING** change was added for
libraries that use JS interop.
Any Dart file that uses `@JS` annotations on declarations (top-level functions,
classes or class members) to interop with JavaScript code will require that the
file have the annotation `@JS()` on a library directive.
```dart
@JS ()
library my_library;
```
The analyzer will enforce this by generating the error:
The `@JS()` annotation can only be used if it is also declared on the library
directive.
If part file uses the `@JS()` annotation, the library that uses the part should
have the `@JS()` annotation e.g.,
```dart
// library_1.dart
@JS ()
library library_1;
import 'package:js/js.dart';
part 'part_1.dart';
```
```dart
// part_1.dart
part of library_1;
@JS ("frameworkStabilizers")
external List< FrameworkStabilizer > get frameworkStabilizers;
```
If your library already has a JS module e.g.,
```dart
@JS ('array.utils')
library my_library;
```
Then your library will work without any additional changes.
2016-03-09 00:13:03 +00:00
### Analyzer
* Static checking of `for in` statements. These will now produce static
warnings:
```dart
// Not Iterable.
for (var i in 1234) { ... }
// String cannot be assigned to int.
for (int n in < String > ["a", "b"]) { ... }
2016-03-09 17:48:26 +00:00
```
2016-03-09 00:13:03 +00:00
2016-03-21 19:43:25 +00:00
### Tool Changes
* Pub
* `pub serve` now provides caching headers that should improve the performance
of requesting large files multiple times.
* Both `pub get` and `pub upgrade` now have a `--no-precompile` flag that
disables precompilation of executables and transformed dependencies.
2016-04-13 23:25:08 +00:00
* `pub publish` now resolves symlinks when publishing from a Git repository.
This matches the behavior it always had when publishing a package that
wasn't in a Git repository.
2016-03-31 23:55:51 +00:00
* Dart Dev Compiler
* The **experimental** `dartdevc` executable has been added to the SDK.
2016-04-01 21:19:57 +00:00
* It will help early adopters validate the implementation and provide
feedback. `dartdevc` **is not** yet ready for production usage.
2016-03-31 23:55:51 +00:00
* Read more about the Dart Dev Compiler [here][dartdevc].

optional named parameter `password` , similar to
`SecurityContext.usePrivateKeyBytes` , for use as the password for PKCS12
data.
2016-02-08 16:41:49 +00:00
2016-03-09 23:19:30 +00:00
### Tool changes
2016-03-04 03:52:53 +00:00
2016-03-09 23:19:30 +00:00
* Dartium and content shell
2016-03-04 03:52:53 +00:00
* The Chrome-based tools that ship as part of the Dart SDK – Dartium and
content shell – are now based on Chrome version 45 (instead of Chrome 39).
2016-03-09 23:19:30 +00:00
* Dart browser libraries (`dart:html`, `dart:svg` , etc) *have not* been
updated.
2016-03-04 03:52:53 +00:00
* These are still based on Chrome 39.
* These APIs will be updated in a future release.
* Note that there are experimental APIs which have changed in the underlying
browser, and will not work with the older libraries.
For example, `Element.animate` .
2016-03-09 23:19:30 +00:00
* `dartfmt` - upgraded to v0.2.4
* Better handling for long collections with comments.
* Always put member metadata annotations on their own line.
* Indent functions in named argument lists with non-functions.
* Force the parameter list to split if a split occurs inside a function-typed
parameter.
* Don't force a split for before a single named argument if the argument
itself splits.
2016-03-03 15:12:13 +00:00
### Service protocol changes
* Fixed a documentation bug where the field `extensionRPCs` in `Isolate`
was not marked optional.
2016-03-03 18:53:37 +00:00
### Experimental language features
* Added support for [configuration-specific imports ](https://github.com/munificent/dep-interface-libraries/blob/master/Proposal.md ).
On the VM and `dart2js` , they can be enabled with `--conditional-directives` .
The analyzer requires additional configuration:
```yaml
analyzer:
language:
enableConditionalDirectives: true
```

(Pub issue [1386 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/pub/issues/1386 ))
2016-02-11 21:22:54 +00:00
2016-02-04 14:24:35 +00:00
## 1.14.1 - 2016-02-04

during isolate initialization.
(SDK issue [25618 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/25618 ))
2016-01-31 22:38:17 +00:00
## 1.14.0 - 2016-01-28
2015-10-19 20:03:05 +00:00

* Added `growable` parameter to `List.filled` constructor.
2015-12-08 23:58:57 +00:00
* Added microsecond support to `DateTime` : `DateTime.microsecond` ,
`DateTime.microsecondsSinceEpoch` , and
`new DateTime.fromMicrosecondsSinceEpoch` .
2015-11-12 12:02:20 +00:00
2015-11-18 12:34:19 +00:00
* `dart:math`
* `Random` added a `secure` constructor returning a cryptographically secure
random generator which reads from the entropy source provided by the
embedder for every generated random value.
2015-11-12 12:02:20 +00:00
2015-11-13 19:15:04 +00:00
* `dart:io`
2016-01-27 17:43:24 +00:00
* `Platform` added a static `isIOS` getter and `Platform.operatingSystem` may
now return `ios` .
* `Platform` added a static `packageConfig` getter.
* Added support for WebSocket compression as standardized in RFC 7692.
* Compression is enabled by default for all WebSocket connections.
* The optionally named parameter `compression` on the methods
`WebSocket.connect` , `WebSocket.fromUpgradedSocket` , and
`WebSocketTransformer.upgrade` and the `WebSocketTransformer`
constructor can be used to modify or disable compression using the new
`CompressionOptions` class.
* `dart:isolate`
* Added **_experimental_** support for [Package Resolution Configuration].
* Added `packageConfig` and `packageRoot` instance getters to `Isolate` .
* Added a `resolvePackageUri` method to `Isolate` .
* Added named arguments `packageConfig` and `automaticPackageResolution` to
the `Isolate.spawnUri` constructor.
2016-01-30 00:15:13 +00:00

2015-11-13 19:15:04 +00:00
2015-12-02 22:06:05 +00:00
### Tool changes
2015-12-10 00:13:57 +00:00
* `dartfmt`
* Better line splitting in a variety of cases.
* Other optimizations and bug fixes.
2015-12-02 22:06:05 +00:00
* Pub
* **Breaking:** Pub now eagerly emits an error when a pubspec's "name" field
is not a valid Dart identifier. Since packages with non-identifier names
were never allowed to be published, and some of them already caused crashes
when being written to a `.packages` file, this is unlikely to break many
people in practice.
2015-12-18 00:44:37 +00:00
* **Breaking:** Support for `barback` versions prior to 0.15.0 (released July
2014) has been dropped. Pub will no longer install these older barback
versions.
2015-12-02 22:06:05 +00:00
* `pub serve` now GZIPs the assets it serves to make load times more similar
to real-world use-cases.
* `pub deps` now supports a `--no-dev` flag, which causes it to emit the
dependency tree as it would be if no `dev_dependencies` were in use. This
makes it easier to see your package's dependency footprint as your users
will experience it.
* `pub global run` now detects when a global executable's SDK constraint is no
longer met and errors out, rather than trying to run the executable anyway.
2016-01-11 20:43:51 +00:00
* Pub commands that check whether the lockfile is up-to-date (`pub run`, `pub
deps`, `pub serve` , and `pub build` ) now do additional verification. They
ensure that any path dependencies' pubspecs haven't been changed, and they
ensure that the current SDK version is compatible with all dependencies.
2015-12-02 22:06:05 +00:00
* Fixed a crashing bug when using `pub global run` on a global script that
didn't exist.
* Fixed a crashing bug when a pubspec contains a dependency without a source
declared.
2016-01-12 10:09:23 +00:00
## 1.13.2 - 2016-01-06
2016-01-12 10:16:03 +00:00
Patch release, resolves one issue:
2016-01-12 10:09:23 +00:00
* dart2js: Stack traces are not captured correctly (SDK issue [25235]
(https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/25235))
## 1.13.1 - 2015-12-17
Patch release, resolves three issues:
* VM type propagation fix: Resolves a potential crash in the Dart VM (SDK commit
[dff13be]
(https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/commit/dff13bef8de104d33b04820136da2d80f3c835d7))
* dart2js crash fix: Resolves a crash in pkg/js and dart2js (SDK issue [24974]
(https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/24974))
* Pub get crash on ARM: Fixes a crash triggered when running 'pub get' on ARM
processors such as those on a Raspberry Pi (SDK issue [24855]
(https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/24855))
2015-11-19 00:45:21 +00:00
## 1.13.0 - 2015-11-18
2015-08-10 10:18:12 +00:00
2015-10-01 17:36:07 +00:00
### Core library changes
2015-10-01 16:58:49 +00:00
* `dart:async`
2015-10-29 21:57:10 +00:00
* `StreamController` added getters for `onListen` , `onPause` , and `onResume`
with the corresponding new `typedef void ControllerCallback()` .
* `StreamController` added a getter for `onCancel` with the corresponding
new `typedef ControllerCancelCallback()` ;
2015-10-01 16:58:49 +00:00
* `StreamTransformer` instances created with `fromHandlers` with no
`handleError` callback now forward stack traces along with errors to the
resulting streams.
2015-10-29 22:00:02 +00:00
* `dart:convert`
* Added support for Base-64 encoding and decoding.
* Added new classes `Base64Codec` , `Base64Encoder` , and `Base64Decoder` .
* Added new top-level `const Base64Codec BASE64` .
2015-08-10 10:18:12 +00:00
* `dart:core`
* `Uri` added `removeFragment` method.
2015-08-12 09:01:21 +00:00
* `String.allMatches` (implementing `Pattern.allMatches` ) is now lazy,
as all `allMatches` implementations are intended to be.
2015-11-06 09:00:03 +00:00
* `Resource` is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.
2015-08-18 22:56:42 +00:00
2015-11-03 14:02:23 +00:00
* `dart:developer`
* Added `Timeline` class for interacting with Observatory's timeline feature.
2015-11-03 14:04:57 +00:00
* Added `ServiceExtensionHandler` , `ServiceExtensionResponse` , and `registerExtension` which enable developers to provide their own VM service protocol extensions.
2015-11-11 20:19:43 +00:00
2015-11-12 01:06:25 +00:00
* `dart:html` , `dart:indexed_db` , `dart:svg` , `dart:web_audio` , `dart:web_gl` , `dart:web_sql`
* The return type of some APIs changed from `double` to `num` . Dartium is now
using
JS interop for most operations. JS does not distinguish between numeric
types, and will return a number as an int if it fits in an int. This will
mostly cause an error if you assign to something typed `double` in
checked mode. You may
need to insert a `toDouble()` call or accept `num` . Examples of APIs that
are affected include `Element.getBoundingClientRect` and
`TextMetrics.width` .
2015-08-10 10:18:12 +00:00
* `dart:io`
2015-11-03 12:32:10 +00:00
* **Breaking:** Secure networking has changed, replacing the NSS library
with the BoringSSL library. `SecureSocket` , `SecureServerSocket` ,
`RawSecureSocket` ,`RawSecureServerSocket`, `HttpClient` , and `HttpServer`
now all use a `SecurityContext` object which contains the certificates
and keys used for secure TLS (SSL) networking.
This is a breaking change for server applications and for some client
applications. Certificates and keys are loaded into the `SecurityContext`
from PEM files, instead of from an NSS certificate database. Information
about how to change applications that use secure networking is at
https://www.dartlang.org/server/tls-ssl.html
2015-09-09 13:18:24 +00:00
* `HttpClient` no longer sends URI fragments in the request. This is not
2015-08-10 10:18:12 +00:00
allowed by the HTTP protocol.
The `HttpServer` still gracefully receives fragments, but discards them
before delivering the request.
2015-10-29 22:01:59 +00:00
* To allow connections to be accepted on the same port across different
isolates, set the `shared` argument to `true` when creating server socket
and `HttpServer` instances.
* The deprecated `ServerSocketReference` and `RawServerSocketReference`
classes have been removed.
* The corresponding `reference` properties on `ServerSocket` and
`RawServerSocket` have been removed.
2015-08-10 10:18:12 +00:00
2015-10-12 14:31:48 +00:00
* `dart:isolate`
2015-10-29 23:36:58 +00:00
* `spawnUri` added an `environment` named argument.
2015-10-12 14:31:48 +00:00
2015-09-23 17:27:15 +00:00
### Tool changes
2015-11-11 20:19:43 +00:00
* `dart2js` and Dartium now support improved Javascript Interoperability via the
[js package ](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/js ).
* `docgen` and `dartdocgen` no longer ship in the SDK. The `docgen` sources have
2015-09-23 17:27:15 +00:00
been removed from the repository.
2015-10-01 17:36:07 +00:00
* This is the last release to ship the VM's "legacy debug protocol".
We intend to remove the legacy debug protocol in Dart VM 1.14.
2015-10-01 17:46:44 +00:00
* The VM's Service Protocol has been updated to version 3.0 to take care
of a number of issues uncovered by the first few non-observatory
clients. This is a potentially breaking change for clients.
2015-11-12 01:06:25 +00:00
* Dartium has been substantially changed. Rather than using C++ calls into
Chromium internals for DOM operations it now uses JS interop.
The DOM objects in `dart:html` and related libraries now wrap
a JavaScript object and delegate operations to it. This should be
mostly transparent to users. However, performance and memory characteristics
may be different from previous versions. There may be some changes in which
DOM objects are wrapped as Dart objects. For example, if you get a reference
to a Window object, even through JS interop, you will always see it as a
Dart Window, even when used cross-frame. We expect the change to using
JS interop will make it much simpler to update to new Chrome versions.
2015-10-23 10:44:32 +00:00
## 1.12.2 - 2015-10-21
### Core library changes
* `dart:io`
* A memory leak in creation of Process objects is fixed.
## 1.12.1 - 2015-09-08
### Tool changes
* Pub
* Pub will now respect `.gitignore` when validating a package before it's
published. For example, if a `LICENSE` file exists but is ignored, that is
now an error.
* If the package is in a subdirectory of a Git repository and the entire
subdirectory is ignored with `.gitignore` , pub will act as though nothing
was ignored instead of uploading an empty package.
* The heuristics for determining when `pub get` needs to be run before various
commands have been improved. There should no longer be false positives when
non-dependency sections of the pubspec have been modified.
## 1.12.0 - 2015-08-31
2015-06-23 20:39:40 +00:00
2015-08-25 09:34:34 +00:00
### Language changes
* Null-aware operators
2015-11-19 00:45:21 +00:00
* `??` : if null operator. `expr1 ?? expr2` evaluates to `expr1` if
not `null` , otherwise `expr2` .
* `??=` : null-aware assignment. `v ??= expr` causes `v` to be assigned
`expr` only if `v` is `null` .
* `x?.p` : null-aware access. `x?.p` evaluates to `x.p` if `x` is not
`null` , otherwise evaluates to `null` .
* `x?.m()` : null-aware method invocation. `x?.m()` invokes `m` only
if `x` is not `null` .
2015-08-25 09:34:34 +00:00
2015-06-23 20:39:40 +00:00
### Core library changes
2015-07-17 10:03:00 +00:00
* `dart:async`
2015-08-05 10:58:30 +00:00
* `StreamController` added setters for the `onListen` , `onPause` , `onResume`
2015-07-17 10:03:00 +00:00
and `onCancel` callbacks.
2015-07-15 10:26:24 +00:00
* `dart:convert`
* `LineSplitter` added a `split` static method returning an `Iterable` .
2015-07-17 15:08:36 +00:00
* `dart:core`
* `Uri` class now perform path normalization when a URI is created.
This removes most `..` and `.` sequences from the URI path.
Purely relative paths (no scheme or authority) are allowed to retain
some leading "dot" segments.
2015-08-05 10:58:30 +00:00
Also added `hasAbsolutePath` , `hasEmptyPath` , and `hasScheme` properties.
2015-07-17 15:08:36 +00:00
2015-08-18 22:56:42 +00:00
* `dart:developer`
* New `log` function to transmit logging events to Observatory.
2015-06-23 20:39:40 +00:00
* `dart:html`
2015-06-23 21:17:32 +00:00
* `NodeTreeSanitizer` added the `const trusted` field. It can be used
2015-06-23 20:39:40 +00:00
instead of defining a `NullTreeSanitizer` class when calling
`setInnerHtml` or other methods that create DOM from text. It is
2015-06-23 21:17:32 +00:00
also more efficient, skipping the creation of a `DocumentFragment` .
2015-06-23 20:39:40 +00:00
2015-07-03 12:52:40 +00:00
* `dart:io`
* Added two new file modes, `WRITE_ONLY` and `WRITE_ONLY_APPEND` for
opening a file write only.
[eaeecf2 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/commit/eaeecf2ed13ba6c7fbfd653c3c592974a7120960 )
2015-07-10 14:29:57 +00:00
* Change stdout/stderr to binary mode on Windows.
[4205b29 ](https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/commit/4205b2997e01f2cea8e2f44c6f46ed6259ab7277 )
2015-07-03 12:52:40 +00:00
2015-08-18 07:44:48 +00:00
* `dart:isolate`
* Added `onError` , `onExit` and `errorsAreFatal` parameters to
`Isolate.spawnUri` .
2015-08-14 17:37:48 +00:00
* `dart:mirrors`
* `InstanceMirror.delegate` moved up to `ObjectMirror` .
2015-08-17 22:25:57 +00:00
* Fix InstanceMirror.getField optimization when the selector is an operator.
2015-08-17 23:30:20 +00:00
* Fix reflective NoSuchMethodErrors to match their non-reflective
counterparts when due to argument mismatches. (VM only)
2015-08-17 22:25:57 +00:00
2015-06-29 23:26:45 +00:00
### Tool changes
2015-08-18 22:56:42 +00:00
* Documentation tools
* `dartdoc` is now the default tool to generate static HTML for API docs.
[Learn more ](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/dartdoc ).
* `docgen` and `dartdocgen` have been deprecated. Currently plan is to remove
them in 1.13.
* Formatter (`dartfmt`)
* Over 50 bugs fixed.
* Optimized line splitter is much faster and produces better output on
complex code.
* Observatory
* Allocation profiling.
* New feature to display output from logging.
* Heap snapshot analysis works for 64-bit VMs.
* Improved ability to inspect typed data, regex and compiled code.
* Ability to break on all or uncaught exceptions from Observatory's debugger.
* Ability to set closure-specific breakpoints.
* 'anext' - step past await/yield.
* Preserve when a variable has been expanded/unexpanded in the debugger.
* Keep focus on debugger input box whenever possible.
* Echo stdout/stderr in the Observatory debugger. Standalone-only so far.
* Minor fixes to service protocol documentation.
2015-06-29 23:26:45 +00:00
* Pub
2015-08-14 22:27:22 +00:00
* **Breaking:** various commands that previously ran `pub get` implicitly no
longer do so. Instead, they merely check to make sure the ".packages" file
is newer than the pubspec and the lock file, and fail if it's not.
* Added support for `--verbosity=error` and `--verbosity=warning` .
* `pub serve` now collapses multiple GET requests into a single line of
output. For full output, use `--verbose` .
* `pub deps` has improved formatting for circular dependencies on the
entrypoint package.
2015-07-20 22:29:48 +00:00
* `pub run` and `pub global run`
2015-08-14 22:27:22 +00:00
* **Breaking:** to match the behavior of the Dart VM, executables no longer
run in checked mode by default. A `--checked` flag has been added to run
them in checked mode manually.
2015-07-20 22:29:48 +00:00
* Faster start time for executables that don't import transformed code.
* Binstubs for globally-activated executables are now written in the system
encoding, rather than always in `UTF-8` . To update existing executables,
run `pub cache repair` .

2015-07-14 20:19:30 +00:00
* `pub get` and `pub upgrade`
* Pub will now generate a ".packages" file in addition to the "packages"
directory when running `pub get` or similar operations, per the
[package spec proposal][]. Pub now has a `--no-package-symlinks` flag that
will stop "packages" directories from being generated at all.
* An issue where HTTP requests were sometimes made even though `--offline`
was passed has been fixed.
* A bug with `--offline` that caused an unhelpful error message has been
fixed.
* Pub will no longer time out when a package takes a long time to download.
* `pub publish`
* Pub will emit a non-zero exit code when it finds a violation while
publishing.
* `.gitignore` files will be respected even if the package isn't at the top
level of the Git repository.
* Barback integration
2015-07-09 20:20:03 +00:00
2015-07-14 20:19:30 +00:00

has been fixed.
2015-07-09 20:20:03 +00:00
2015-07-27 23:16:56 +00:00
* A deadlock caused by declaring transformer followed by a lazy transformer
(such as the built-in `$dart2js` transformer) has been fixed.
2015-07-14 20:19:30 +00:00
* A stack overflow caused by a transformer being run multiple times on the
package that defines it has been fixed.
2015-07-09 20:20:03 +00:00
2015-07-20 22:29:48 +00:00
* A transformer that tries to read a non-existent asset in another package
will now be re-run if that asset is later created.

### VM Service Protocol Changes
2015-07-29 00:17:40 +00:00
* **BREAKING** The service protocol now sends JSON-RPC 2.0-compatible
2015-08-03 21:58:51 +00:00
server-to-client events. To reflect this, the service protocol version is
now 2.0.
2015-07-29 00:17:40 +00:00
2015-07-27 23:14:34 +00:00
* The service protocol now includes a `"jsonrpc"` property in its responses, as
opposed to `"json-rpc"` .
* The service protocol now properly handles requests with non-string ids.
Numeric ids are no longer converted to strings, and null ids now don't produce
a response.
2015-07-27 18:10:16 +00:00
* Some RPCs that didn't include a `"jsonrpc"` property in their responses now
include one.

by the `foo` package. The previous behavior ran `bin/foo` . This makes it
easy to run binaries in dependencies, for instance `pub run test` .
* On Mac and Linux, signals sent to `pub run` and forwarded to the child
command.

## 1.9.1 – 2015-03-25
2015-04-03 23:31:36 +00:00
### Language changes
* Support for `async` , `await` , `sync*` , `async*` , `yield` , `yield*` , and `await
for`. See the [the language tour][async] for more details.
* Enum support is fully enabled. See [the language tour][enum] for more details.
[async]: https://www.dartlang.org/docs/dart-up-and-running/ch02.html#asynchrony
[enum]: https://www.dartlang.org/docs/dart-up-and-running/ch02.html#enums
### Tool changes
* The formatter is much more comprehensive and generates much more readable
code. See [its tool page][dartfmt] for more details.
* The analysis server is integrated into the IntelliJ plugin and the Dart
editor. This allows analysis to run out-of-process, so that interaction
remains smooth even for large projects.
* Analysis supports more and better hints, including unused variables and unused
private members.
[dartfmt]: https://www.dartlang.org/tools/dartfmt/
### Core library changes
#### Highlights
* There's a new model for shared server sockets with no need for a `Socket`
reference.
* A new, much faster [regular expression engine][regexp].
* The Isolate API now works across the VM and `dart2js` .
[regexp]: http://news.dartlang.org/2015/02/irregexp-dart-vms-new-regexp.html
#### Details
For more information on any of these changes, see the corresponding
documentation on the [Dart API site ](http://api.dartlang.org ).
* `dart:async` :
* `Future.wait` added a new named argument, `cleanUp` , which is a callback
that releases resources allocated by a successful `Future` .
* The `SynchronousStreamController` class was added as an explicit name for
the type returned when the `sync` argument is passed to `new
StreamController`.
* `dart:collection` : The `new SplayTreeSet.from(Iterable)` constructor was
added.
* `dart:convert` : `Utf8Encoder.convert` and `Utf8Decoder.convert` added optional
`start` and `end` arguments.
* `dart:core` :
* `RangeError` added new static helper functions: `checkNotNegative` ,
`checkValidIndex` , `checkValidRange` , and `checkValueInInterval` .
* `int` added the `modPow` function.
* `String` added the `replaceFirstMapped` and `replaceRange` functions.
* `dart:io` :
* Support for locking files to prevent concurrent modification was added. This
includes the `File.lock` , `File.lockSync` , `File.unlock` , and
`File.unlockSync` functions as well as the `FileLock` class.
* Support for starting detached processes by passing the named `mode` argument
(a `ProcessStartMode` ) to `Process.start` . A process can be fully attached,
fully detached, or detached except for its standard IO streams.
* `HttpServer.bind` and `HttpServer.bindSecure` added the `v6Only` named
argument. If this is true, only IPv6 connections will be accepted.
2015-04-15 19:47:54 +00:00
2015-04-03 23:31:36 +00:00
* `HttpServer.bind` , `HttpServer.bindSecure` , `ServerSocket.bind` ,
`RawServerSocket.bind` , `SecureServerSocket.bind` and
`RawSecureServerSocket.bind` added the `shared` named argument. If this is
true, multiple servers or sockets in the same Dart process may bind to the
same address, and incoming requests will automatically be distributed
between them.
* **Deprecation:** the experimental `ServerSocketReference` and
`RawServerSocketReference` classes, as well as getters that returned them,
are marked as deprecated. The `shared` named argument should be used
instead. These will be removed in Dart 1.10.
* `Socket.connect` and `RawSocket.connect` added the `sourceAddress` named
argument, which specifies the local address to bind when making a
connection.
* The static `Process.killPid` method was added to kill a process with a given
PID.
* `Stdout` added the `nonBlocking` instance property, which returns a
non-blocking `IOSink` that writes to standard output.
* `dart:isolate` :
* The static getter `Isolate.current` was added.
* The `Isolate` methods `addOnExitListener` , `removeOnExitListener` ,
`setErrorsFatal` , `addOnErrorListener` , and `removeOnErrorListener` now work
on the VM.
* Isolates spawned via `Isolate.spawn` now allow most objects, including
top-level and static functions, to be sent between them.

## 1.8.5 – 2015-01-21
2015-04-03 23:31:36 +00:00
* Code generation for SIMD on ARM and ARM64 is fixed.
* A possible crash on MIPS with newer GCC toolchains has been prevented.
* A segfault when using `rethrow` was fixed ([issue 21795][]).

## 1.8.3 – 2014-12-10
2015-04-03 23:31:36 +00:00
* Breakpoints can be set in the Editor using file suffixes ([issue 21280][]).
* IPv6 addresses are properly handled by `HttpClient` in `dart:io` , fixing a
crash in pub ([issue 21698][]).
* Issues with the experimental `async` /`await` syntax have been fixed.
* Issues with a set of number operations in the VM have been fixed.
* `ListBase` in `dart:collection` always returns an `Iterable` with the correct
type argument.

## 1.8.0 – 2014-11-28
2015-04-03 23:31:36 +00:00
* `dart:collection` : `SplayTree` added the `toSet` function.
* `dart:convert` : The `JsonUtf8Encoder` class was added.
* `dart:core` :
* The `IndexError` class was added for errors caused by an index being outside
its expected range.
* The `new RangeError.index` constructor was added. It forwards to `new
IndexError`.
* `RangeError` added three new properties. `invalidProperty` is the value that
caused the error, and `start` and `end` are the minimum and maximum values
that the value is allowed to assume.
* `new RangeError.value` and `new RangeError.range` added an optional
`message` argument.
* The `new String.fromCharCodes` constructor added optional `start` and `end`
arguments.
* `dart:io` :
* Support was added for the [Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation][alpn]
extension to the TLS protocol for both the client and server.
* `SecureSocket.connect` , `SecureServerSocket.bind` ,
`RawSecureSocket.connect` , `RawSecureSocket.secure` ,
`RawSecureSocket.secureServer` , and `RawSecureServerSocket.bind` added a
`supportedProtocols` named argument for protocol negotiation.
* `RawSecureServerSocket` added a `supportedProtocols` field.
* `RawSecureSocket` and `SecureSocket` added a `selectedProtocol` field which
contains the protocol selected during protocol negotiation.

## 1.7.0 – 2014-10-15
2015-04-03 23:31:36 +00:00
### Tool changes
* `pub` now generates binstubs for packages that are globally activated so that
they can be put on the user's `PATH` and used as normal executables. See the
[`pub global activate` documentation][pub global activate].
* When using `dart2js` , deferred loading now works with multiple Dart apps on
the same page.
[pub global activate]: https://www.dartlang.org/tools/pub/cmd/pub-global.html#running-a-script-from-your-path
### Core library changes
* `dart:async` : `Zone` , `ZoneDelegate` , and `ZoneSpecification` added the
`errorCallback` function, which allows errors that have been programmatically
added to a `Future` or `Stream` to be intercepted.
* `dart:io` :
* **Breaking change:** `HttpClient.close` must be called for all clients or
they will keep the Dart process alive until they time out. This fixes the
handling of persistent connections. Previously, the client would shut down
immediately after a request.
* **Breaking change:** `HttpServer` no longer compresses all traffic by
default. The new `autoCompress` property can be set to `true` to re-enable
compression.
* `dart:isolate` : `Isolate.spawnUri` added the optional `packageRoot` argument,
which controls how it resolves `package:` URIs.
