adaptive_liquid_glass 0.1.0-dev.10

iOS 26 Liquid Glass for Flutter, measured against SwiftUI, with Material 3 counterparts on Android behind one API.

0.1.0-dev.10

• Replace the screenshot gallery with six clear dark-mode captures.
• Add an animated demo to the README.
• No runtime changes from dev.9.

0.1.0-dev.9

• Add light and dark screenshots with plain backgrounds to the pub.dev gallery.

0.1.0-dev.8

• Add light and dark iOS example screenshots to the pub.dev package gallery.
• Remove the private repository link from package metadata.

0.1.0-dev.7

• New components (Material 3 counterparts on Android):
  • GlassTextField, with GlassTextField.password.
  • showGlassToast, with GlassToastAction and GlassToastHandle.
  • GlassListSection and GlassListTile: iOS 26's inset-grouped list, measured against SwiftUI on iOS 26.4.
  • showGlassActionSheet: iOS 26's confirmation dialog, measured.
  • GlassChip, GlassBadge, GlassPageControl and GlassProgressIndicator (geometry estimated, not yet measured).
• AdaptiveLiquidGlass.initialize() preloads the shaders before the first frame.
• GlassMenuController drives slide-to-select from an outer gesture (glideTo, endGlide, cancelGlide).
• GlassScrollEdgeStyle.progressive on the navigation bars: an opt-in graduated blur under the bar. The default is unchanged.
• Rounded rectangles use a continuous (iOS-style) corner (GlassConstants.cornerZone).
• Interactive glass stretches toward a finger dragged past its edge, and shows a focus ring under keyboard focus.
• GlassTabBar re-measured against SwiftUI's TabView: selected and unselected colours, pill, icon and label sizes, and the bar's glass.
• Accessibility: one screen-reader node per control; explicit labels replace the visible text; semanticLabel on GlassPicker, GlassMenuItem, showGlassPopover and GlassSearchField; tapping outside a menu or picker is announced as "Dismiss".
• Fixes:
  • Glass and the text on it now follow one brightness (the theme's), including inside dialogs, sheets, popovers, menus and toasts. Behaviour change: a MaterialApp with no dark theme now gets light glass on a dark system.
  • GlassTabBar: the pill no longer stops on a different tab from the selected tint when selectedIndex does not change, and the held lens no longer draws black on the native path.
  • GlassToggle returns to value when the parent rejects a change.
  • The tab bar's search button had no screen-reader tap action; disabled stepper halves still offered one.
• Includes code adapted from liquid_glass_widgets (MIT); see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.

0.1.0-dev.6

• Fix: on iOS 26 (native glass), content no longer flickers as it scrolls under the navigation bar. The scroll edge keeps its fade but drops its blur there, since Flutter cannot blur UIKit views in place.
• Fix: labels on glass no longer flip between light and dark while content scrolls past. A flip now needs the backdrop to move clearly past middle grey, on two samples in a row.

0.1.0-dev.5

• New components, each measured against SwiftUI on iOS 26.4:

  • showGlassAlert and showGlassConfirmationDialog, with GlassDialogAction.
  • showGlassPopover and GlassPopoverAnchor.
  • GlassPicker (menu style).
  • GlassStepper.
  • GlassDatePicker, the compact style with a glass calendar.
  • GlassContextMenu.
  • GlassTabBar.onSearch, iOS 26's search tab.

• showGlassSheet takes detents (GlassSheetDetent.medium, .large, .fraction, .height):

  • It drags between detents and dismisses on a drag or fling down.
  • At large it is edge to edge and opaque, with the screen's corners.
  • It is its own route now, so it needs no Material ancestor.
  • Breaking: isScrollControlled is removed; use detents.

• The earlier components were re-measured against SwiftUI:

  • The segmented control is 32 pt and the slider thumb 37 pt.
  • The toolbar is 48 pt, 28 pt from the screen's edges.
  • The menu opens over its button, with icons at the start.
  • Swipe actions use SwiftUI's compact and stacked layouts.
  • Toggle, slider, segmented control and stepper colours are measured, in light and dark.

• GlassSystemColors: iOS 26's red, blue, orange and green.

• Fixes:

  • Glass labels on a light page inside GlassScaffold were white.
  • A grey band appeared on the tab bar next to an accessory.
  • The menu button's glass drew over its open menu.
  • Material's letter spacing leaked into glass text; iOS tracking is now applied.
  • Text in glass routes fell back to Flutter's debug style (underlines).
  • Components threw without Cupertino localizations.
  • With an accessory, the tab bar widens to the accessory's width, as on iOS.

• Tooling: tool/reference/capture_components.sh, measure_components.py and compare_components.py score every component against SwiftUI per path.

• GlassScaffold: an iOS 26 screen in one widget. The navigation bar sits on top, the tab bar or toolbar floats at the bottom with an optional GlassBottomAccessory, and the body runs under the bars, padded clear of them.

• GlassToolbar and GlassToolbarSpacer: the floating bottom toolbar.

• GlassToggle, GlassSlider and GlassSegmentedControl: their thumbs turn into clear glass lenses while pressed.

• showGlassSheet and GlassSheet: a floating glass sheet.

• GlassMenuButton and GlassMenuItem: a glass pull-down menu.

• GlassSearchField: a glass search capsule.

• GlassSwipeActions and GlassSwipeAction: list swipe actions with tinted glass capsules, a full swipe and a haptic.

• GlassTabBar: a selection haptic as the dragged lens reaches each tab (enableFeedback).

• Internal: one class per file, and fixed colours moved to GlassColors. The public API is unchanged.

0.1.0-dev.4

• GlassTabBar, matched frame by frame to iOS 26.4's tab bar (Kept):
  • The lens is shader glass. It bends the page and bar behind it outward into its rim (a dark, colour-split band along its long sides), and draws the tinted tabs over that in their own pass (tab_lens_content.frag): pulled inward towards the lens's round ends, softly blurred, keeping their colour. Teal-cyan rim, no white wash; tabs under it are magnified about their own centres.
  • The bar is shader glass fitted to UIKit's bar (flat fill, even 1 pt rim, lighter frost). It lights up around a held lens and evenly while the lens is dragged, fading after release.
  • The lens follows the finger with a continuous spring (no stutter) and trails it as iOS's does; tapping a far tab sends it across and settles it on arrival. The selected tint no longer flickers.
  • An explicit mode: still wins.
• GlassVariantConstants: lensVertical (bend mostly where the outline faces up or down), rimTint and rimHue (a tinted rim). All default to off.
• GlassButton / GlassButton.icon: SwiftUI's glass and prominent button styles, destructive and cancel roles, control sizes, border shapes, disabled and loading states; Material 3 buttons on Android. Sizes measured from SwiftUI (tool/reference/controls.json).
• GlassBackButton, GlassNavigationBar (inline title) and SliverGlassNavigationBar (collapsing large title): iOS 26's navigation bar, measured from SwiftUI; AppBar / SliverAppBar.large on Android.

0.1.0-dev.3

• glassEffect(onPressed: ...): a glass button in one line, same as LiquidGlass.onPressed.
• GlassTabBar and GlassTabBarItem: iOS 26's floating tab bar. The selected tab sits on a pill; pressing turns it into a clear glass lens that overhangs the bar and magnifies the tabs under it, dragging slides it between tabs, and letting go springs it to the nearest tab (sizes and timing measured from iOS 26.4). Works in every render mode, follows the reading direction and Reduce Motion, and exposes each tab as a selectable button to assistive tech.
• Tabs shrink evenly to fit the width the bar is given (itemWidth is now the maximum), so five tabs fit a phone.
• Tab bar motion measured frame by frame against iOS 26.4's own tab bar: pill 7.55 wider than the 86.15 tab spacing; the lens (114 × 74) grows on a 0.38 s spring, trails the finger on a 0.3 s spring at 1.06× its offset from the bar's centre, wobbles in height with its acceleration, and settles back with a squash on a 0.36 s spring; the bar grows towards the lens; tabs under it magnify 1.21 × 1.10. The tabs now lie beneath the lens glass, so it refracts them at its rim.
• GlassTabBarItem.activeIcon (the selected tab's icon) and .badge (a count or short text in a red capsule, a dot when empty; read with the tab by assistive tech).
• On the Material path (Android by default) the bar is a Material 3 NavigationBar in the same floating capsule, with ripple and badges.

0.1.0-dev.2

Task 17d — noise floor, tone LUT, hard target met

• Certified fidelity: 46/75 scenes pass (SSIM ≥ 0.97, ΔE ≤ 2.0), median SSIM 0.9828 / ΔE 1.09, min SSIM 0.9532, 0 scenes below 0.95 (75 in-set; held-out 48-scene set 18/48, min 0.9470).
• Tone LUT: piecewise-linear 9-knot input→output curve per variant set, measured from grey flats (covers below the 0.15 code floor); small dark shapes gain a toneLift.
• Clear glass: lens max-min grid (lensSizeRef/lensStrength), rim mix, post-blur share; regular dark: anisotropic frost (blurAspectPower).
• Noise floors: SwiftUI-vs-SwiftUI repeat floor is exactly zero (bit-deterministic simulator); SwiftUI-vs-UIKit cross-API floor committed; compare.py --floor adds report-only within-noise verdicts.

• Native glass is SwiftUI's own: native mode hosts a GlassEffectContainer with a .glassEffect view per member (was UIKit UIGlassEffect), so it matches SwiftUI pixel for pixel, follows MediaQuery.platformBrightness like the shader path (and re-themes when it changes at runtime), draws circles as circles and supports unionId.

• Breaking: native glass is the default on iOS 26+; auto picks it from the first frame (the iOS version is read synchronously at startup). LiquidGlassThemeData.nativeEnabled is removed; use mode: or defaultMode: GlassRenderMode.shader to opt out.

• Widget.glassEffect(glass:, shape:, glassId:, unionId:, padding:): one-line glass, mirroring SwiftUI's .glassEffect(_:in:).

• LiquidGlass.padding: insets the child inside the glass (directional).

• LiquidGlass.adaptiveForeground (default true): text and icons on glass take a readable label colour (the Material on-colour on Android); explicit colours still win.

• LiquidGlass.onPressed: glass as a button, with button semantics, focus, Enter/Space activation and interactive glass unless the glass opts out with interactive(false).

• Glass remembers an explicit interactive(false), so it no longer equals the plain preset.

• LiquidGlass.precache() is optional: shader glass draws as a blur until the shader loads, then switches in place.

• Android and the other non-shader paths no longer load the shader.

• concentricRadius is no longer exported.

• Android is declared as a supported platform (a Dart-only plugin entry).

• Breaking: GlassMotionConstants.pressScale is replaced by pressGrowthArea and pressScaleMax: a pressed shape grows by about the same area whatever its size (sqrt(1 + pressGrowthArea / (w·h)), capped), as SwiftUI does, so small shapes grow more than large ones.

• Press-in and release use separate springs (releaseResponse, releaseDamping); press, release and morph springs, press stretch and glow radius are refitted to lossless SwiftUI recordings.

• Shader fidelity: every reference scene is at SSIM ≥ 0.95 against SwiftUI (minimum 0.9532, median 0.983, median ΔE 1.09), with a per-variant tone curve, anisotropic frost, a wide frost tail and a refitted clear lens.

• Example: an Android host, a dark theme for the gallery, and motion-scene harness entries (-motion, -dump); harness entries default to the shader unless -mode native is passed.

0.1.0-dev.1

• First development release: LiquidGlass, GlassGroup, Glass, GlassShape, LiquidGlassTheme, GlassBackdropSource and GlassForeground; shader glass fitted to SwiftUI on iOS, Apple's native glass on iOS 26+ (opt-in), Material 3 on Android.
