Hi all,

New versions of the VS Code extensions have been published to the VS Code marketplace and open-vsx. Release notes are below (and online).

Flutter Widget Preview

#5840/#5814: To improve startup performance, the widget preview now starts on first access rather than at startup. This can be controlled with a new setting dart.flutterWidgetPreview that accepts "startLazily" (default), "startEagerly" (starts at startup when a Flutter project is present) and "disabled".

Testing

#5842/#5833: When running a batch of tests from the Test Explorer requires launching multiple sequential debug sessions, a progress notification will be shown indicating the number of sessions with the ability to cancel the entire batch.
#5831/#5834: Deleting a test no longer sometimes causes the next test marker to move to the incorrect line.

Misc

#5841: A warning is now shown that Dart 3.1 / Flutter 3.13 will become unsupported in a future release. See the SDK Compatibility page for details of which extension versions support which SDKs if you need to continue to use an unsupported SDK.
#5848: Some unexpected conditions that trigger extension restarts will now show warning notifications encouraging filing a GitHub issue for investigation.
#5830: ~~Updated to LSP client v10.0.0-next.18 and enabled delayOpenNotifications for improved performance.~~ This change was reverted pending a fix in the VS Code LSP client.

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.

#5832: formatOnType no longer triggers when typing ; or } in places that are not ends of statements/blocks (such as strings, comments, patterns).
#5602: formatOnType no longer triggers when typing ; inside an enhanced enum without a constructor, which caused the semicolon to be removed.
#5808: The Flutter Sidebar no longer stops responding after the PC wakes from sleep. Instead, a “Reconnecting…” notification will be shown while reconnecting to DTD.

Upstream Issues

Some feature requests and fixes require new features and fixes in upstream projects like VS Code and LSP which use counts of 👍s on those issues to help gauge demand. The Dart-Code website now lists some of the most significant upstream issues with a description of the feature/fix they would enable. Please consider reviewing this list and adding your 👍 to any GitHub issues relevant to features you’d like to see!
