Dart 3.11 Released with Enhanced AI Support and Tooling Improvements
Google has officially released Dart 3.11, a stable version focused on improving developer responsiveness and tooling efficiency rather than introducing new language features. Key updates include enhanced support for AI coding assistants through the Dart and Flutter MCP Server, which now features a read_package_uris tool to help AI agents better resolve project dependencies. The Dart analysis server receives significant performance boosts via fine-grained dependencies, improved handling of symlink cycles, and cached analyzer plugin entry points for faster startup times. Additionally, Pub workspaces now support glob patterns, allowing developers to include all packages in a directory without manual enumeration. A major addition is the new pub cache gc command, which helps reclaim disk space by identifying and deleting unused package versions from the global cache based on active project dependencies. This release aims to streamline daily workflows for Dart and Flutter developers by optimizing underlying tools and integrating more deeply with modern AI-driven development environments.
