v3.80.0 2023-12-27

Flutter

• #4867: Running a script with a cwd set to another project no longer sometimes selects the wrong type of debugger (for example Flutter when trying to run a Dart CLI script from another project with the cwd set to a Flutter project)
• #4904: The Flutter device daemon is now fully initialised before trying to query the supported platforms for a project. This may solve some race conditions that would prevent the correct devices from showing.
• #4885: For new versions of Flutter, launching an application will not overwrite any custom Pub root directories set via DevTools (by using the addPubRootDirectories service instead of setPubRootDirectories).

Editor

• #4896: The “Add ‘foo’ to dependencies” quick-fix will no longer appear duplicated when both uri_does_not_exist and depend_on_referenced_packages diagnostics are produced.
• #4808: Code completion now triggers automatically when typing inside an string interpolation expression.
• #4719: When editing .arb files, a recommendation for the ARB Editor extension may be shown.
• #4897: @hrishikesh-kadam contributed an update to the recommended settings to bring editor.wordBasedSuggestions inline with new values in VS Code 1.85.

Debugger

• #4906: The default files created at bin/(project_name).dart in console applications are now treated as potential default entry points, just as bin/main.dart is.

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

• #4891: Inlay hints are now shown for for-in loops and for elements in collections.
• #4865: Format document no longer sometimes adds blank lines in file that use \n line endings after formatting another file using \r\n line endings.
• #4863: Static types are now shown correctly in hovers for getters using generic types.
