🔥 Dart 3.4 & Flutter 3.22

This release, specially planned for Google I/O, includes numerous amazing features, key highlights below!

Dart
🔥🔥🔥 Enhancements in WebAssembly, aimed at full WASM support in pure Dart apps.
🔥🔥🔥 @JsonCodable macros are in preview (in master), adding toJson and fromJson functionality. The team continues to invest in the macro system, allowing developers to create their own macros.
🔥 Analyzer completion improvements - closed over 50% of bugs.

Flutter
🚀🚀🚀 Full support for WebAssembly in Flutter apps! Rendering time is improved by 2-3x. Web apps became more performant.
🚀 Engine improvements - Impeller is feature-complete on Android. Improved performance for blurs and complex paths like SVG or Lottie animations.
🚀 Transformation of assets using Dart packages - users can now configure Dart packages to transform their app’s assets as they are bundled (see https://docs.flutter.dev/ui/assets/asset-transformation).
🚀 Platform Views became more reliable and performant on Android and iOS.
Android now supports predictive back.
🚀 DevTools now provides tool to validate deep links.
Material design updates include new surface colors, the removal of background, onBackground, and surfaceVariant, and adjustments to ColorScheme.fromSeed to align with Material 3 guidelines. Additionally, Material 2 text styles and colors are being phased out.

🔥 A new article about popups is coming next week!

In the meantime, I have created a custom popup that positions follower widget relatively to a target and prevents it from overflowing the screen.

I’m researching the internals of EditableText (widget that is used by TextField)

Planning to write an article about how it renders text, manages selection and communicates with platform
