dart_style/CHANGELOG.md

# 2.3.1

* Hide `--fix` and related options in `--help`. The options are still there and
  supported, but are no longer shown by default. Eventually, we would like all
  users to move to using `dart fix` instead of `dart format --fix`.
* Don't indent `||` pattern operands in switch expression cases.  
* Don't format `sealed`, `interface`, and `final` keywords on mixin
  declarations. The proposal was updated to no longer support them.
* Don't split before a single-section cascade following a record literal.
* Give records block-like formatting in argument lists (#1205).

# 2.3.0

## New language features

* Format patterns and related features.
* Format record expressions and record type annotations.
* Format class modifiers `base`, `final`, `interface`, `mixin`, and `sealed`.
* Format `inline class` declarations.
* Format unnamed libraries.

## Bug fixes and style changes

* Handle `sync*` and `async*` functions with `=>` bodies.
* Fix bug where parameter metadata wouldn't always split when it should.
* Don't split after `<` in collection literals.
* Better indentation of multiline function types inside type argument lists. 

## Internal changes

* Use typed `_visitFunctionOrMethodDeclaration` instead of dynamically typed.
* Fix metadata test to not fail when record syntax makes whitespace between
  metadata annotation names and `(` significant ([sdk#50769][]).
* Require Dart 2.19.
* Require `package:analyzer` `^5.7.0`.

[sdk#50769]: https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/50769

# 2.2.5

* Format unnamed libraries.
* Require Dart 2.17.

# 2.2.4

* Unify how brace-delimited syntax is formatted. This is mostly an internal
  refactoring, but slightly changes how a type body containing only an inline
  block comment is formatted.
* Refactor Chunk to store split before text instead of after. This mostly does
  not affect the visible behavior of the formatter, but a few edge cases are
  handled slightly differently. These are all bug fixes where the previous
  behavior was unintentional. The changes are:
* Consistently discard blank lines between a `{` or `[` and a subsequent
  comment. It used to do this before the `{` in type bodies, but not switch
  bodies, optional parameter sections, or named parameter sections.
* Don't allow splitting an empty class body.
* Allow splitting after an inline block comment in some places where it makes
  sense.
* Don't allow a line comment in an argument list to cause preceding arguments
  to be misformatted.
* Remove blank lines after a line comment at the end of a body.
* Require `package:analyzer` `>=4.4.0 <6.0.0`.

  bad dependency constraint (#1051).

# 2.1.0

* Support generic function references and constructor tear-offs (#1028).

# 2.0.3

* Fix hang when reading from stdin (https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/46600).

  formatting.

# 1.3.13

- Allow the latest version of `package:analyzer`.

# 1.3.12

- Allow the latest versions of `package:args` and `package:pub_semver`.

# 1.3.11

* Remove use of deprecated analyzer API and List constructor.
* Fix performance issue with constructors that have no initializer list.

# 1.3.10

* Handle `external` and `abstract` fields and variables (#946).

# 1.3.6

* Change the path used in error messages when reading from stdin from "<stdin>"
  to "stdin". The former crashes on Windows since it is not a valid Windows
  pathname. To get the old behavior, pass `--stdin-name=<stdin>`.

# 1.3.5

* Format null assertion operators.
* Better formatting for invocation expressions inside method call chains.
* Support `package:analyzer` `0.38.0`.

* Support `package:analyzer` `0.37.0`.

# 1.2.8

* Better indentation of function expressions inside trailing comma argument
  lists. (Thanks a14@!)
* Avoid needless indentation on chained if-else elements (#813).

# 1.2.7

* Improve indentation of adjacent strings inside `=>` functions.

# 1.2.6

* Properly format trailing commas in assertions.
* Improve indentation of adjacent strings. This fixes a regression introduced
  in 1.2.5 and hopefully makes adjacent strings generally look better.

  Adjacent strings in argument lists now format the same regardless of whether
  the argument list contains a trailing comma. The rule is that if the
  argument list contains no other strings, then the adjacent strings do not
  get extra indentation. This keeps them lined up when doing so is unlikely to
  be confused as showing separate independent string arguments.

  Previously, adjacent strings were never indented in argument lists without a
  trailing comma and always in argument lists that did. With this change,
  adjacent strings are still always indented in collection literals because
  readers are likely to interpret a series of unindented lines there as showing
  separate collection elements.

  types to the new preferred syntax.

# 1.2.0

* Add `--fix-doc-comments` to turn `/** ... */` doc comments into `///` (#730).

* Remove `const` in all metadata annotations with --fix-optional-const` (#720).

# 1.1.4

* Internal changes to support using the new common front end for parsing.

# 1.1.3

* Preserve whitespace in multi-line strings inside string interpolations (#711).
  **Note!** This bug means that dart_style 1.1.2 may make semantics changes to
  your strings. You should avoid that version and use 1.1.3.

# 0.2.15

* Support `covariant` modifier on methods.

# 0.2.0-rc.1

* **BREAKING:** The `indent` argument to `new DartFormatter()` is now a number
  of *spaces*, not *indentation levels*.

* This version introduces a new n-way constraint system replacing the previous
  binary constraints. It's mostly an internal change, but allows us to fix a
  number of bugs that the old solver couldn't express solutions to.

  In particular, it forces argument and parameter lists to go one-per-line if
  they don't all fit in two lines. And it allows function and collection
  literals inside expressions to indent like expressions in some contexts.
