Provisional Release Notes

These release notes are provisional and may change before this version is published.

v3.134.0 2026-04-30

Commands

• #6034/#6038: Pub commands like Pub: Get Packages that operate once on all packages in a whole Pub Workspace will no longer ask you to pick an individual package (but instead let you pick the Pub Workspace) if executed without the context of a package.
• #6028/#6032: The Dart: Add Dependency command now handles mixed SDK and Pub packages correctly when added all at once.
• #6029/#5952: The Dart: Add Dependency command no longer shows package search results immediately after typing a separator (without typing any prefix) which was causing pressing <enter> to unexpectedly add the first listed package.
• #6027/#5998: The Dart: Add Dependency command now supports dev: prefixes when typing package names, the same way the dart pub add CLI command does.
• #5988/#6020: The output channels used for dart create and flutter create output when using the Dart: New Project and Flutter: New Project commands are now the same channels as other commands run in those packages once they have been created.

Testing

• #6035: Dart-Code’s E2E tests have been updated to handle VS Code’s new welcome screen.
• Dart-Code’s test coverage has been improved in many areas:
  • #6040: SDK switching
  • #6039: Dart Add Dependency command
  • #6031: Flutter: Save Screenshot, Upgrade, New Project commands
  • #6030: Hot reload (w/ save), Rerun Last Debug Session, Rerun Last Test Session, promptForVmService, Create Launch Configuration, and debug settings prompts.
  • #6041: Flutter: New Project settings editor

Features/Fixes Enabled with Future SDKs

The following items depend on changes to the Dart/Flutter SDKs that have not yet been released to stable channels. They may be available to test in the current beta/master channels and will show up in future SDK releases.

• #6026: WebSocket connections between the flutter tool now have pingInterval enabled which should prevent dropped connections with some antivirus products like Norton which proxy all connections and drop them after a period of being idle.
• #5939: The analysis server no longer infinitely reports “Analyzing…” if logging is enabled into an analyzed folder.
• #6003: Type aliases no longer cause duplicate completion entries for the target classes constructors in code completion. Instead, the constructors are added against the type alias.
• #6001: Missing Dart SDK sources have been added to the Flutter SDK to prevent errors when navigating to them from the call stack while debugging.
