2.3.2

• Don't indent parameters that have metadata annotations. Instead, align them with the metadata and other parameters.
• Allow metadata annotations on parameters to split independently of annotations on other parameters (#1212).
• Don't split before . following a record literal (#1213).
• Don't force split on a line comment before a switch expression case (#1215).
• Require package:analyzer >=5.12.0 <7.0.0.
• Preserve ? on nullable empty record types (#1224).

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.

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.

• Don't crash when non-ASCII whitespace is trimmed (#901).
• Split all conditional expressions (?:) when they are nested (#927).
• Handle external and abstract fields and variables (#946).

1.3.6

• Change the path used in error messages when reading from stdin from “” 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

• Restore command line output accidentally removed in 1.3.4.

1.3.4

• Add --fix-single-cascade-statements.
• Correctly handle var in --fix-function-typedefs (#826).

• Support package:analyzer 0.38.0.

1.2.9

• 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.

1.2.5

• Add support for spreads inside collections (#778).

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.

1.1.2

• Support URIs in part-of directives (#615).

1.0.5

• Support the latest version of pkg/analyzer.

• Don't discard type arguments on method calls with closure arguments (#582).

0.2.15

• Support covariant modifier on methods.

0.2.14

• Update to analyzer 0.29.3. This should make dart_style a little more resilient to breaking changes in analyzer that add support for new syntax that dart_style can't format yet.

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. (#78, #97, #101, #123, #139, #141, #142, #143, et. al.)
