For instructions on installing the Dart or Flutter extensions, go here.

v2.4.4

• The search path for the Flutter SDK cached by Fuchsia has been updated in line with the latest Fuchsia code
• The dart.userDefinedSdkPath setting will now override the Dart SDK used for Fuchsia projects (this is temporary until Fuchsia and Flutter get their own override)

v2.4.3

Note: This version requires Visual Studio Code 1.17.

• The search path for the Dart SDK in Fuchsia projects has been updated to reflect the new location in a third_party folder
• Several debug APIs are being removed in Code 1.18 so Dart Code has been moved off them - these should have no visible effects but since there was a lot of refactoring there is risk of new bugs in:
  • Code that provides debug configurations for new projects that do not have a .vscode/launch.json file
  • Code that supplements the launch config with things like SDK paths before passing to the debug adapter
  • Code that passes custom commands (like Flutter’s hot reload, toggle debug painting, etc.) from the IDE to the debug adapter

v2.4.2

• The Closing Labels preview feature will no longer show a toast popup asking for feedback every time it activates

v2.4.1

Note: This version requires Visual Studio Code 1.16.

• Tooltips for items with no dartdocs will now appear correctly (a breaking change in Code 1.16 resulted in these disappearing)
• The text color for Closing Labels preview can now be controlled using the dart.closingLabels color (you can set this in your settings, inside the workbench.colorCustomizations section - see here)
• Go-to-Definition will no longer sometimes open some files inside your own project as read-only on Windows because of path casing differences
• TODOs will now appear with lower priority than lints and hints in the Problems pane
• The error message shown when the Flutter SDK cannot be find will now correctly refer to the FLUTTER_ROOT environment variable instead of FLUTTER_HOME

v2.4.0

• Dart Code will now activate if a workspace contains a .dart file rather than only if it contains a pubspec.yaml file or when a .dart file is specifically opened
• The dependency tree should work more reliably for .packages files that are not consistent with those generated by pub (for example, the hand-maintaned one in the Dart SDK repo)
• Errors that occur when running Flutter debug commands will now be shown in the debug console
• The Closing Labels preview has been updated to use functionality provided by the Dart SDK which will result in better performance and improved labels (this requires SDK v1.25.0-dev.11.0 or later)

Upstream Issues
