Anders Sandholm gives us some of the details  of the Milestone 2 (M2) release : We’re happy to announce the next milestone of the Dart project - M2. The bits for the editor and SDK are available at dartlang.org . A few features you may like in this release: Significantly smaller generated JavaScript from dart2js due to tree-shaking of the html libraries and general minification.  Tree-shaking is on by default. Minification requires the command line flag --minify .  As a result, the generated code for swarm is now only half the size compared to M1. Support for uploading of user packages to pub . The M3 release will focus on core library cleanup and the new streaming API for asynchronous communication. We’re looking forward to your feedback and thanks for your support.
