Flutter API Docs: New master channel URL, Offline Docs Available

[Greg Spencer]

Hello Flutter Devs,

NEW MASTER CHANNEL URL

If you are using our 1.0 stable release, you will find our API documentation, as it has always been, at https://docs.flutter.io.

If you use the "cutting edge" master channel, however, you might want to see the matching API documentation for that channel instead. You may now do so through the site: https://master-docs.flutter.io.

The master docs are built for every commit (i.e. several times daily).

The stable docs are updated each time we push a new stable release.

OFFLINE DOCS AVAILABLE

Also, if you work offline, or have poor connectivity, you might wish to check out Zeal (free) for Linux and Windows, or Dash (a small fee) for macOS. These are simple browsers for offline API docs, and Flutter's build now produces offline docsets for these that you can subscribe to.

The Flutter 1.0 (stable) docset feed URL: is https://docs.flutter.io/offline/flutter.xml

The Flutter master channel (cutting edge) docset feed URL is: https://master-docs.flutter.io/offline/flutter.xml

Follow the user documentation for these offline browsers to see how to add a docset feed to them.  There is an IntelliJ Dash plugin (that works for Zeal too) that will search for the symbol under the cursor at the touch of a key.

You can also download (if you don't want to use Zeal or Dash) a ZIP file of the HTML for the website:

stable: https://docs.flutter.io/offline/flutter.docs.zip

master: https://master-docs.flutter.io/offline/flutter.docs.zip

Enjoy!

-Greg.

P.S. The name "master" here is just the name of our "cutting edge" channel, it shouldn't be taken to imply that other docs are derived from those, or that they are somehow more authoritative: they're just the ones generated from the master channel. (See a description of our different channels here: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Flutter-build-release-channels)
