Dart Editor gets auto-update!


A new Dart Editor build is available at www.dartlang.org/editor. Changes include:

The last Editor you'll ever download! We now support auto-updating the editor. This was one of our most starred issues. To try it out, open the Preferences dialog and enable auto-updating.



Additional release notes:
  • You can now run the Dartdoc tool from the Editor - see Tools > Generate Dartdoc.
  • There's a new clean up to convert old optional parameters to the new optional named ones where possible.
  • There's a new refactoring to convert optional positional parameters to named.
  • The Files view now displays whether a dart: library is client only (like dart:html) or server only (like dart:io).
  • Added a preference to enable code folding.
  • Several performance improvements for large projects.
  • Fix for missing keystrokes in the searchbox (on GTK Linux).
  • Fix for a crash related to the break-on-exceptions feature, and for a crash that could occurred when launching Dartium with breakpoints set.
  • 10 analysis issues fixed.
And one more thing - Pub support is now in continuous! This is just baked in and still undergoing testing.
