Release Notes

dart-lang/sdk (dart)

v3.7.0

Compare Source

Released on: 2025-02-12

Language

Dart 3.7 adds wildcard variables to the language. To use them, set your
package's [SDK constraint][language version] lower bound to 3.7 or greater
(sdk: '^3.7.0').

Wildcard Variables

Local variables and parameters named _ are now non-binding and they can
be declared multiple times without collisions. You will no longer be able to use
these variables nor access their values. All wildcard variable declaration types
that have this behavior are described in the
wildcard variables specification.

Top-level variables, top-level function names, type names, member names, etc.
are unchanged. They can be named _ and used as they are today.

These are a few examples of where wildcard variables can be used:

Foo(_, this._, super._, void _()) {}

main() {
  var _ = 1;
  int _ = 2;

  list.where((_) => true);
}

Other Language Changes

• Breaking Change #​56893: If a field is promoted to the type Null
  using is or as, this type promotion is now properly accounted for in
  reachability analysis. This makes the type system more self-consistent,
  because it mirrors the behavior of promoted local variables. This change is
  not expected to make any difference in practice.

Dart format

The formatter implements a new style better suited for the kind of
declarative code that many Dart users are writing today. The new style looks
similar to the style you get when you add trailing commas to argument lists,
except that now the formatter will add and remove those commas for you.

The dart format command uses the language version of
each input file to determine which style it gets. If the language version is 3.6
or lower, the code is formatted with the old style. If 3.7 or later, it gets the
new tall style.

You typically control the language version by setting a min SDK constraint in
your package's pubspec. This means that when you update the SDK
constraint in your pubspec to move to 3.7, you are also opting in to the new
style.

In order to correctly determine the language version of each file it formats,
dart format (like other dart commands) looks for a package_config.json
file surrounding the files being formatted. This means that you need to run
dart pub get before formatting code in your package. If you have format
checks in your continuous integration server, you'll want to make sure it runs
dart pub get too.

We don't intend to support both styles indefinitely. At some point in the
future when most of the ecosystem is on 3.7 or later, support for the old style
will be removed.

In addition to the new formatting style, a number of other changes are included,
some of them breaking:

• Project-wide page width configuration. By long request, you can now
  configure your preferred formatting page width on a project-wide basis. When
  formatting a file, the formatter will look in the file's directory and any
  surrounding directories for an analysis_options.yaml file. If it finds one,
  it looks for YAML like so:

  formatter:
    page_width: 123

  If it finds a page width matching that schema, then the file is formatted
  using that width. Since the formatter will walk the surrounding directories
  until it finds an analysis_options.yaml file, this can be used to globally
  set the page width for an entire directory, package, or even collection of
  packages. Since analysis_options.yaml files already support an include
  key to reference other analysis_options.yaml files, you can define a single
  configuration and share it across a number of packages.

• Opting out a region of code from formatting. In code formatted using the
  new style, you can use a pair of special marker comments to opt a region of
  code out of automated formatting:

  main() {
    this.isFormatted();
    // dart format off
    no   +   formatting
      +
        here;
    // dart format on
    formatting.isBackOnHere();
  }

  The comments must be exactly // dart format off and // dart format on.
  A file may have multiple regions, but they can't overlap or nest.

  This can be useful for highly structured data where custom layout helps the
  reader understand the data, like large lists of numbers.

• Overriding the page width for a single file. In code formatted
  using the new tall style, you can use a special marker comment to control the
  page width that it's formatted using:

  // dart format width=30
  main() {
    someExpression +
        thatSplitsAt30;
  }

  This comment must appear before any code in the file and must match that
  format exactly. The width set by the comment overrides the width set by any
  surrounding analysis_options.yaml file.

  This feature is mainly for code generators that generate and immediately
  format code but don't know about any surrounding analysis_options.yaml
  that might be configuring the page width. By inserting this comment in the
  generated code before formatting, it ensures that the code generator's
  behavior matches the behavior of dart format.

  End users should mostly use analysis_options.yaml for configuring their
  preferred page width (or do nothing and continue to use the default page width
  of 80).

• Breaking change: Remove support for dart format --fix. Instead, use
  dart fix. It supports all of the fixes that dart format --fix could apply
  and many more.

• Treat the --stdin-name name as a path when inferring language version.
  When reading input on stdin, the formatter still needs to know its language
  version to know what style to apply. If the --stdin-name option is set, then
  that is treated as a file path and the formatter looks for a package config
  surrounding that file path to infer the language version from.

  If you don't want that behavior, pass in an explicit language version using
  --language-version=, or use --language-version=latest to parse the input
  using the latest language version supported by the formatter.

  If --stdin-name and --language-version are both omitted, then the
  formatter parses stdin using the latest supported language version.

• Rename the --line-length option to --page-width. This is consistent
  with the public API, internal implementation, and docs, which all use "page
  width" to refer to the limit that the formatter tries to fit code into.

  The --line-length name is still supported for backwards compatibility, but
  may be removed at some point in the future. You're encouraged to move to
  --page-width. Use of this option (however it's named) is rare, and will
  likely be even rarer now that project-wide configuration is supported, so
  this shouldn't affect many users.

Dart to Javascript Compiler (dart2js)

The dart2js compiler which is invoked when the command 'dart compile js' is
used has been switched to use an AOT snapshot instead of a JIT snapshot.

Dart Development Compiler (dartdevc)

The dartdevc compiler and kernel_worker utility have been switched to use an
AOT snapshot instead of a JIT snapshot, the SDK build still includes a JIT
snapshot of these tools as package build/build_web_compiler depends on it. The
AOT snapshot can be used as follows to run DDC /bin/dartaotruntime /bin/snapshots/dartdevc_aot.dart.snapshot

Released on: 2025-01-08

• When inside a pub workspace, pub get will now delete stray
  .dart_tool/package_config.json files in directories between the
  workspace root and workspace directories. Preventing confusing behavior
  when migrating a repository to pub workspaces (issue pub#4445).

v3.6.0

Compare Source

Released on: 2024-12-11

Language

Dart 3.6 adds digit separators to the language. To use them, set your
package's [SDK constraint][language version] lower bound to 3.6 or greater
(sdk: '^3.6.0').

Digit separators

Digits in number literals (decimal integer literals, double literals,
scientific notation literals, and hexadecimal literals) can now include
underscores between digits, as "digit separators." The separators do not change
the value of a literal, but can serve to make the number more readable.

100__000_000__000_000__000_000  // one hundred million million millions!
0x4000_0000_0000_0000
0.000_000_000_01
0x00_14_22_01_23_45  // MAC address

Separators are not allowed at the start of a number (this would be parsed as an
identifier), at the end of a number, or adjacent to another character in a
number, like ., x, or the e in scientific notation.

• Breaking Change #​56065: The context used by the compiler and analyzer
  to perform type inference on the operand of a throw expression has been
  changed from the "unknown type" to Object. This makes the type system more
  self-consistent, because it reflects the fact that it's not legal to throw
  null. This change is not expected to make any difference in practice.

Libraries

dart:io

• Breaking Change #​52444: Removed the Platform() constructor, which
  has been deprecated since Dart 3.1.

• Breaking Change #​53618: HttpClient now responds to a redirect
  that is missing a "Location" header by throwing RedirectException, instead
  of StateError.

dart:js_interop

• Added constructors for JSArrayBuffer, JSDataView, and concrete typed array
  types e.g. JSInt8Array.
• Added length and []/[]= operators to JSArray.
• Added toJSCaptureThis so this is passed in from JavaScript to the
  callback as the first parameter.
• Added a static from method on JSArray to create a JSArray from a given
  JavaScript iterable or array-like object.

Tools

CFE

• Breaking Change #​56466: The implementation of the UP and
  DOWN algorithms in the CFE are changed to match the specification
  and the corresponding implementations in the Analyzer. The upper and
  lower closures of type schemas are now computed just before they are
  passed into the subtype testing procedure instead of at the very
  beginning of the UP and DOWN algorithms.

Dart format

• Preserve type parameters on old-style function-typed formals that also use
  this. or super..
• Correctly format imports with both as and if clauses.

Wasm compiler (dart2wasm)

• The condition dart.library.js is now false on conditional imports in
  dart2wasm. Note that it was already a static error to import dart:js
  directly (see #​55266).

Pub

• Support for workspaces. This allows you to develop and resolve multiple
  packages from the same repo together. See https://dart.dev/go/pub-workspaces
  for more info.

• New command dart pub bump. Increments the version number of the current
  package.

  For example: dart pub bump minor will change the version from 1.2.3 to
  1.3.0.

• New validation: dart pub publish will warn if your git status is not
  clean.

• New flag dart pub upgrade --unlock-transitive.

• dart pub upgrade --unlock-transitive pkg, will unlock and upgrade all the
  dependencies of pkg instead of just pkg.

Analyzer

• Add the [use_truncating_division][use_truncating_division] lint rule.
• Add the experimental [omit_obvious_local_variable_types][omit_obvious_local_variable_types] lint rule.
• Add the experimental [specify_nonobvious_local_variable_types][specify_nonobvious_local_variable_types] lint rule.
• Add the experimental [avoid_futureor_void][avoid_futureor_void] lint rule.
• Add quick fixes for more than 14 diagnostics.
• Add new assists: "add digit separators", "remove digit separators", and
  "invert conditional expression".

  folder in the workspace (issue#​56464).
• Fixes source maps generated by dart compile wasm when optimizations are
  enabled (issue #​56423).
• Fixes a bug in the dart2wasm compiler in unsound -O3 / -O4 modes where a
  implicit setter for a field of generic type will store null instead of the
  field value (issue #​56374).
• Fixes a bug in the dart2wasm compiler that can trigger in certain situations
  when using partial instantiations of generic tear-offs (constructors or static
  methods) in constant expressions (issue #​56440).
• The algorithm for computing the standard upper bound of two types,
  also known is UP, is provided the missing implementation for
  StructuralParameterType objects. In some corner cases cases the
  lacking implementation resulted in a crash of the compiler (issue #​56457).

v3.5.0

Compare Source

Language

• Breaking Change #​55418: The context used by the compiler to perform
  type inference on the operand of an await expression has been changed to
  match the behavior of the analyzer. This change is not expected to make any
  difference in practice.

• Breaking Change #​55436: The context used by the compiler to perform
  type inference on the right hand side of an "if-null" expression (e1 ?? e2)
  has been changed to match the behavior of the analyzer. change is expected to
  have low impact on real-world code. But in principle it could cause
  compile-time errors or changes in runtime behavior by changing inferred
  types. The old behavior can be restored by supplying explicit types.

Libraries

dart:core

• Breaking Change #​44876: DateTime on the web platform now stores
  microseconds. The web implementation is now practically compatible with the
  native implementation, where it is possible to round-trip a timestamp in
  microseconds through a DateTime value without rounding the lower
  digits. This change might be breaking for apps that rely in some way on the
  .microsecond component always being zero, for example, expecting only three
  fractional second digits in the toString() representation. Small
  discrepancies in arithmetic due to rounding of web integers may still occur
  for extreme values, (1) microsecondsSinceEpoch outside the safe range,
  corresponding to dates with a year outside of 1685..2255, and (2) arithmetic
  (add, subtract, difference) where the Duration argument or result
  exceeds 570 years.

dart:io

• Breaking Change #​55786: SecurityContext is now final. This means
  that SecurityContext can no longer be subclassed. SecurityContext
  subclasses were never able to interoperate with other parts of dart:io.

• A ConnectionTask can now be created using an existing Future<Socket>.
  Fixes #​55562.

dart:typed_data

• Breaking Change #​53785: The unmodifiable view classes for typed data
  have been removed. These classes were deprecated in Dart 3.4.

  To create an unmodifiable view of a typed-data object, use the
  asUnmodifiableView() methods added in Dart 3.3.

• Added superinterface TypedDataList to typed data lists, implementing both
  List and TypedData. Allows abstracting over all such lists without losing
  access to either the List or the TypedData members.
  A ByteData is still only a TypedData, not a list.

dart:js_interop

• Breaking Change #​55508: importModule now accepts a JSAny instead
  of a String to support other JS values as well, like TrustedScriptURLs.

• Breaking Change #​55267: isTruthy and not now return JSBoolean
  instead of bool to be consistent with the other operators.

• Breaking Change ExternalDartReference no longer implements Object.
  ExternalDartReference now accepts a type parameter T with a bound of
  Object? to capture the type of the Dart object that is externalized.
  ExternalDartReferenceToObject.toDartObject now returns a T.
  ExternalDartReferenceToObject and ObjectToExternalDartReference are now
  extensions on T and ExternalDartReference<T>, respectively, where T extends Object?. See #​55342 and #​55536 for more details.

• Fixed some consistency issues with Function.toJS across all compilers.
  Specifically, calling Function.toJS on the same function gives you a new JS
  function (see issue #​55515), the maximum number of arguments that are
  passed to the JS function is determined by the static type of the Dart
  function, and extra arguments are dropped when passed to the JS function in
  all compilers (see #​48186).

Tools

Analyzer

• Add the [unintended_html_in_doc_comment][unintended_html_in_doc_comment] lint rule.
• Add the [invalid_runtime_check_with_js_interop_types][invalid_runtime_check_with_js_interop_types] lint rule.
• Add the [document_ignores][document_ignores] lint rule.
• Add quick fixes for more than 70 diagnostics.
• The "Add missing switch cases" quick fix now adds multiple cases, such that
  the switch becomes exhaustive.
• The "Remove const" quick fix now adds const keywords to child nodes, where
  appropriate.

Pub

• New flag dart pub downgrade --tighten to restrict lower bounds of
  dependencies' constraints to the minimum that can be resolved.

Dart Runtime

• The Dart VM only executes sound null safe code, running of unsound null
  safe code using the option --no-sound-null-safety has been removed.

• Dart_NewListOf and Dart_IsLegacyType functions are
  removed from Dart C API.

• Dart_DefaultCanonicalizeUrl is removed from the Dart C API.

v3.4.4

Compare Source

This is a patch release that:

• Fixes an issue where pub would crash when failing to fetch advisories from
  the server. (issue pub#4269).

• Fixes an issue where const bool.fromEnvironment('dart.library.ffi') is true
  and conditional import condition dart.library.ffi is true in dart2wasm.
  (issue #​55948).

• Fixes an issue where FFI calls with variadic arguments on MacOS Arm64
  would mangle the arguments. (issue #​55943).

v3.4.3

Compare Source

This is a patch release that:

• Fixes an issue where DART_VM_OPTIONS were not correctly parsed for
  standalone Dart executables created with dart compile exe (issue
  #​55818).

• Fixes a bug in dart2wasm that can result in a runtime error that says
  array.new_fixed() has a constant larger than 10000 (issue #​55873).

• Adds support for --enable-experiment flag to dart compile wasm
  (issue #​55894).

• Fixes an issue in dart2wasm compiler that can result in incorrect
  nullability of type parameter (see #​55895).

• Disallows dart:ffi imports in user code in dart2wasm (e.g. issue
  [#​53910]) as dart2wasm's currently only supports a small subset of
  dart:ffi (issue #​55890).

v3.4.2

Compare Source

This is a patch release that:

• Marks dart compile wasm as no longer experimental.

• Fixes two bugs in exception handling in async functions in dart2wasm
  (issues #​55347, #​55457).

• Fixes restoration of this variable in sync* and async functions in
  dart2wasm.

• Implements missing control flow constructs (exceptions, switch/case with
  yields) in sync* in dart2wasm (issues #​51342, #​51343).

• Fixes a bug dart2wasm compiler that surfaces as a compiler crash when indexing
  lists where the compiler proofs the list to be constant and the index is
  out-of-bounds (issue #​55817).

v3.4.1

Compare Source

This is a patch release that:

• Fixes a bug in the CFE which could manifest as compilation errors of Flutter
  web apps when compiled with dart2wasm (issue #​55714).

• Fixes a bug in the pub client, such that dart run will not interfere with
  Flutter l10n (at least for most cases) (issue #​55758).

v3.4.0

Compare Source

Language

Dart 3.4 makes improvements to the type analysis of conditional expressions
(e1 ? e2 : e3), if-null expressions (e1 ?? e2), if-null assignments
(e1 ??= e2), and switch expressions (switch (e) { p1 => e1, ... }). To take
advantage of these improvements, set your package's
SDK constraint lower bound to 3.4 or greater
(sdk: '^3.4.0').

• Breaking Change #​54640: The pattern context type schema for
  cast patterns has been changed from Object? to _ (the unknown
  type), to align with the specification. This change is not expected
  to make any difference in practice.

• Breaking Change #​54828: The type schema used by the compiler front end
  to perform type inference on the operand of a null-aware spread operator
  (...?) in map and set literals has been made nullable, to match what
  currently happens in list literals. This makes the compiler front end behavior
  consistent with that of the analyzer. This change is expected to be very low
  impact.

Libraries

dart:async

• Added option for ParallelWaitError to get some meta-information that
  it can expose in its toString, and the Iterable<Future>.wait and
  (Future,...,Future).wait extension methods now provide that information.
  Should make a ParallelWaitError easier to log.

dart:cli

• Breaking change [#​52121][]: waitFor is removed in 3.4.

dart:ffi

• Added Struct.create and Union.create to create struct and union views
  of the sequence of bytes stored in a subtype of TypedData.

dart:io

• Breaking change #​53863: Stdout has a new field lineTerminator,
  which allows developers to control the line ending used by stdout and
  stderr. Classes that implement Stdout must define the lineTerminator
  field. The default semantics of stdout and stderr are not changed.

• Deprecates FileSystemDeleteEvent.isDirectory, which always returns
  false.

dart:js_interop

• Fixes an issue with several comparison operators in JSAnyOperatorExtension
  that were declared to return JSBoolean but really returned bool. This led
  to runtime errors when trying to use the return values. The implementation now
  returns a JSBoolean to align with the interface. See issue #​55024 for
  more details.

• Added ExternalDartReference and related conversion functions
  toExternalReference and toDartObject. This is a faster alternative to
  JSBoxedDartObject, but with fewer safety guarantees and fewer
  interoperability capabilities. See #​55187 for more details.

• On dart2wasm, JSBoxedDartObject now is an actual JS object that wraps the
  opaque Dart value instead of only externalizing the value. Like the JS
  backends, you'll now get a more useful error when trying to use it in another
  Dart runtime.

• Added isA helper to make type checks easier with interop types. See
  #​54138 for more details.

dart:typed_data

• BREAKING CHANGE #​53218 #​53785: The unmodifiable view classes for
  typed data are deprecated.

  To create an unmodifiable view of a typed-data object, use the
  asUnmodifiableView() methods added in Dart 3.3:

  Uint8List data = ...;
  final readOnlyView = data.asUnmodifiableView();
  // readOnlyView has type Uint8List, and throws if attempted modified.

  The reason for this change is to allow more flexibility in the implementation
  of typed data, so the native and web platforms can use different strategies
  to ensure that typed data has good performance.

  The deprecated types will be removed in Dart 3.5.

Tools

Analyzer

• Improved code completion. Fixed over 50% of completion correctness bugs,
  tagged analyzer-completion-correctness in the issue
  tracker.

• Support for new annotations introduced in version 1.14.0 of the meta
  package.

  • Support for the [@doNotSubmit][@​doNotSubmit] annotation, noting that any usage of an
    annotated member should not be submitted to source control.

  • Support for the [@mustBeConst][@​mustBeConst] annotation, which indicates that an
    annotated parameter only accepts constant arguments.

Linter

• Added the [unnecessary_library_name][unnecessary_library_name] lint.
• Added the [missing_code_block_language_in_doc_comment][missing_code_block_language_in_doc_comment] lint.

Compilers

• The compilation environment will no longer pretend to contain entries with
  value "" for all dart.library.foo strings, where dart:foo is not an
  available library. Instead there will only be entries for the available
  libraries, like dart.library.core, where the value was, and still is,
  "true". This should have no effect on const bool.fromEnvironment(...) or
  const String.fromEnvironment(...) without a defaultValue argument, an
  argument which was always ignored previously. It changes the behavior of
  const bool.hasEnvironment(...) on such an input, away from always being
  true and therefore useless.

DevTools

• Updated DevTools to version 2.33.0 from 2.31.1.
  To learn more, check out the release notes for versions
  2.32.0 and 2.33.0.

Pub

• Dependency resolution and dart pub outdated will now surface if a dependency
  is affected by a security advisory, unless the advisory is listed under a
  ignored_advisories section in the pubspec.yaml file. To learn more about
  pub's support for security advisories, visit
  dart.dev/go/pub-security-advisories.

• path-dependencies inside git-dependencies are now resolved relative to the
  git repo.

• All dart pub commands can now be run from any subdirectory of a project. Pub
  will find the first parent directory with a pubspec.yaml and operate
  relative it.

• New command dart pub unpack that downloads a package from pub.dev and
  extracts it to a subfolder of the current directory.

  This can be useful for inspecting the code, or playing with examples.

Dart Runtime

• Dart VM flags and options can now be provided to any executable generated
  using dart compile exe via the DART_VM_OPTIONS environment variable.
  DART_VM_OPTIONS should be set to a list of comma-separated flags and options
  with no whitespace. Options that allow for multiple values to be provided as
  comma-separated values are not supported (e.g.,
  --timeline-streams=Dart,GC,Compiler).

  Example of a valid DART_VM_OPTIONS environment variable:

  DART_VM_OPTIONS=--random_seed=42,--verbose_gc

• Dart VM no longer supports external strings: Dart_IsExternalString,
  Dart_NewExternalLatin1String and Dart_NewExternalUTF16String functions are
  removed from Dart C API.

v3.3.4

Compare Source

This is a patch release that:

• Fixes an issue with JS interop in dart2wasm where JS interop methods that used
  the enclosing library's @JS annotation were actually using the invocation's
  enclosing library's @JS annotation. (issue #​55430).

v3.3.3

Compare Source

This is a patch release that:

• Fixes an issue where dart vm crashed when running on pre-SSE41 older CPUs on Windows (issue #​55211).

v3.3.2

Compare Source

This is a patch release that:

• Fixes an issue in the CFE that placed some structural parameter references out
  of their context in the code restored from dill files, causing crashes in the
  incremental compiler whenever it restored a typedef from dill such that the
  typedef contained a generic function type on its right-hand side (issue
  #​55158).
• Fixes an issue in the CFE that prevented redirecting factories from being
  resolved in initializers of extension types (issue #​55194).
• Fixes an issues with VM's implementation of DateTime.timeZoneName
  on Windows, which was checking whether current date is in the summer or
  standard time rather than checking if the given moment is in the summer or
  standard time (issue #​55240).

v3.3.1

Compare Source

This is a patch release that:

• Fixes an issue in dart2js where object literal constructors in interop
  extension types would fail to compile without an @JS annotation on the
  library (issue #​55057).
• Disallows certain types involving extension types from being used as the
  operand of an await expression, unless the extension type itself implements
  Future (issue #​55095).

v3.3.0

Language

Dart 3.3 adds extension types to the language. To use them, set your
package's [SDK constraint][language version] lower bound to 3.3 or greater
(sdk: '^3.3.0').

Extension types

An extension type wraps an existing type with a different, static-only
interface. It works in a way which is in many ways similar to a class that
contains a single final instance variable holding the wrapped object, but
without the space and time overhead of an actual wrapper object.

Extension types are introduced by extension type declarations. Each
such declaration declares a new named type (not just a new name for the
same type). It declares a representation variable whose type is the
representation type. The effect of using an extension type is that the
representation (that is, the value of the representation variable) has
the members declared by the extension type rather than the members declared
by its "own" type (the representation type). Example:

extension type Meters(int value) {
  String get label => '${value}m';
  Meters operator +(Meters other) => Meters(value + other.value);
}

void main() {
  var m = Meters(42); // Has type `Meters`.
  var m2 = m + m; // OK, type `Meters`.
  // int i = m; // Compile-time error, wrong type.
  // m.isEven; // Compile-time error, no such member.
  assert(identical(m, m.value)); // Succeeds.
}

The declaration Meters is an extension type that has representation type
int. It introduces an implicit constructor Meters(int value); and a
getter int get value. m and m.value is the very same object, but m
has type Meters and m.value has type int. The point is that m
has the members of Meters and m.value has the members of int.

Extension types are entirely static, they do not exist at run time. If o
is the value of an expression whose static type is an extension type E
with representation type R, then o is just a normal object whose
run-time type is a subtype of R, exactly like the value of an expression
of type R. Also the run-time value of E is R (for example, E == R
is true). In short: At run time, an extension type is erased to the
corresponding representation type.

A method call on an expression of an extension type is resolved at
compile-time, based on the static type of the receiver, similar to how
extension method calls work. There is no virtual or dynamic dispatch. This,
combined with no memory overhead, means that extension types are zero-cost
wrappers around their representation value.

While there is thus no performance cost to using extension types, there is
a safety cost. Since extension types are erased at compile time, run-time
type tests on values that are statically typed as an extension type will
check the type of the representation object instead, and if the type check
looks like it tests for an extension type, like is Meters, it actually
checks for the representation type, that is, it works exactly like is int
at run time. Moreover, as mentioned above, if an extension type is used as
a type argument to a generic class or function, the type variable will be
bound to the representation type at run time. For example:

void main() {
  var meters = Meters(3);

  // At run time, `Meters` is just `int`.
  print(meters is int); // Prints "true".
  print(<Meters>[] is List<int>); // Prints "true".

  // An explicit cast is allowed and succeeds as well:
  List<Meters> meterList = <int>[1, 2, 3] as List<Meters>;
  print(meterList[1].label); // Prints "2m".
}

Extension types are useful when you are willing to sacrifice some run-time
encapsulation in order to avoid the overhead of wrapping values in
instances of wrapper classes, but still want to provide a different
interface than the wrapped object. An example of that is interop, where you
may have data that are not Dart objects to begin with (for example, raw
JavaScript objects when using JavaScript interop), and you may have large
collections of objects where it's not efficient to allocate an extra object
for each element.

Other changes

• Breaking Change #​54056: The rules for private field promotion have
  been changed so that an abstract getter is considered promotable if there are
  no conflicting declarations. There are no conflicting declarations if
  there are no non-final fields, external fields, concrete getters, or
  noSuchMethod forwarding getters with the same name in the same library.
  This makes the implementation more consistent and allows
  type promotion in a few rare scenarios where it wasn't previously allowed.
  It is unlikely, but this change could cause a breakage by changing
  an inferred type in a way that breaks later code. For example:

  class A {
    int? get _field;
  }
  class B extends A {
    final int? _field;
    B(this._field);
  }
  test(A a) {
    if (a._field != null) {
      var x = a._field; // Previously had type `int?`; now has type `int`
      ...
      x = null; // Previously allowed; now causes a compile-time error.
    }
  }

  Affected code can be fixed by adding an explicit type annotation.
  For example, in the above snippet, var x can be changed to int? x.

  It's also possible that some continuous integration configurations might fail
  if they have been configured to treat warnings as errors, because the expanded
  type promotion could lead to one of the following warnings:

  • unnecessary_non_null_assertion
  • unnecessary_cast
  • invalid_null_aware_operator

  These warnings can be addressed in the usual way, by removing the unnecessary
  operation in the first two cases, or changing ?. to . in the third case.

  check out the guide on Fixing type promotion failures.

Libraries

dart:core

• String.fromCharCodes now allow start and end to be after the end of
  the Iterable argument, just like skip and take does on an Iterable.

dart:ffi

• In addition to functions, @Native can now be used on fields.
• Allow taking the address of native functions and fields via
  Native.addressOf.
• The elementAt pointer arithmetic extension methods on
  core Pointer types are now deprecated.
  Migrate to the new - and + operators instead.
• The experimental and deprecated @FfiNative annotation has been removed.
  Usages should be updated to use the @Native annotation.

dart:js_interop

• Breaking Change in the representation of JS types #​52687: JS types
  like JSAny were previously represented using a custom erasure of
  @staticInterop types that were compiler-specific. They are now represented
  as extension types where their representation types are compiler-specific.
  This means that user-defined @staticInterop types that implemented JSAny
  or JSObject can no longer do so and need to use
  JSObject.fromInteropObject. Going forward, it's recommended to use extension
  types to define interop APIs. Those extension types can still implement JS
  types.
• JSArray and JSPromise generics: JSArray and JSPromise are now generic
  types whose type parameter is a subtype of JSAny?. Conversions to and from
  these types are changed to account for the type parameters of the Dart or JS
  type, respectively.
• Breaking Change in names of extensions: Some dart:js_interop extension
  members are moved to different extensions on the same type or a supertype to
  better organize the API surface. See JSAnyUtilityExtension and
  JSAnyOperatorExtension for the new extensions. This shouldn't make a
  difference unless the extension names were explicitly used.
• Add importModule to allow users to dynamically import modules using the JS
  import() expression.

dart:js_interop_unsafe

• Add has helper to make hasProperty calls more concise.

dart:typed_data

• BREAKING CHANGE (https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/53218) The
  unmodifiable view classes for typed data are deprecated. Instead of using the
  constructors for these classes to create an unmodifiable view, e.g.

  Uint8List data = ...
  final readOnlyView = UnmodifiableUint8ListView(data);

  use the new asUnmodifiableView() methods:

  Uint8List data = ...
  final readOnlyView = data.asUnmodifiableView();

  The reason for this change is to allow more flexibility in the implementation
  of typed data so the native and web platforms can use different strategies
  for ensuring typed data has good performance.

  The deprecated types will be removed in a future Dart version.

dart:nativewrappers

• Breaking Change #​51896: The NativeWrapperClasses are marked base so
  that none of their subtypes can be implemented. Implementing subtypes can lead
  to crashes when passing such native wrapper to a native call, as it will try
  to unwrap a native field that doesn't exist.

Tools

Dart command line

• The dart create command now uses v3 of package:lints,
  including multiple new recommended lints by default.
  To learn more about the updated collection of lints,
  check out the package:lints 3.0.0 changelog entry.

DevTools

• Updated DevTools to version 2.31.1 from 2.28.1.
  To learn more, check out the release notes for versions
  2.29.0, 2.30.0,
  and 2.31.0.

Wasm compiler (dart2wasm)

• Breaking Change #​54004: dart:js_util, package:js, and dart:js
  are now disallowed from being imported when compiling with dart2wasm. Prefer
  using dart:js_interop and dart:js_interop_unsafe.

Development JavaScript compiler (DDC)

• Type arguments of package:js interop types are now printed as any instead
  of being omitted. This is simply a change to the textual representation of
  package js types that have type arguments. These type arguments are still
  completely ignored by the type system at runtime.

• Removed "implements <...>" text from the Chrome custom formatter display for
  Dart classes. This information provides little value and keeping it imposes an
  unnecessary maintenance cost.

Production JavaScript compiler (dart2js)

• Breaking Change #​54201:
  The Invocation that is passed to noSuchMethod will no longer have a
  minified memberName, even when dart2js is invoked with --minify.
  See #​54201 for more details.

Analyzer

• You can now suppress diagnostics in pubspec.yaml files by
  adding an # ignore: <diagnostic_id> comment.
• Invalid dart doc comment directives are now reported.
• The [flutter_style_todos][flutter_style_todos] lint now has a quick fix.

Linter

• Removed the iterable_contains_unrelated_type and
