Add some tests and verify basic support for triple-shift, and check to be sure that using the function as type parameter feature does not crash dartdoc (#2518, #2517, #2603).
BREAKING CHANGE: Refactor of dartdoc features and annotations. Use hasFeatures in templates in place of checking featuresAsString as a boolean (#2600), and linkedNameWithParameters for getting rendered annotations (#2605).
Implement generic type parameters on annotations. (#2600, #2516).
No longer depend on mustache. (#2596)
BREAKING CHANGE: Replace mustache with mustachio. Use asCallable instead of hasCallable in templates to handle casts correctly. (#2564)

0.41.0 #

Write out doc files for static methods on extensions. (#2588, #2591)
Fix a crash where dartdoc tried to create a duplicate field in the event a static const extension member is declared. (#2585)
Implementation of generic type aliases. (#2584, #2575, #2558)

Add an option for setting arguments for tool compilation. (#2576)
Make signature of categoriesWithPublicLibraries more accurate. (#2571)

Breaking change: Refactor sidebar handling to improve performance. Sidebar templates are now required to exist in custom sets, though you do not have to use them. See referred PR. (#2444)
Breaking change: Complete extraction of sorted methods used by templates. This moves sorting of elements closer to the presentation layer but requires renaming references in custom templates. See sed script example in referred PR. (#2438)
Fix missing null checks for YAML data. (#2441, #2378)
Give the correct exception for missing FLUTTER_ROOT even where pub get has already run. (#2440, #2407)
Internal change, prefer analyzer's InterfaceType.allSupertypes. (#2439)

Enable NNBD support by default in dartdoc. If a package is non-nullable, it will now be documented that way (with null safety tags). No change in behavior for packages that have not been migrated. (#2384)
Breaking change Adjust interfaces for mustache and remove constant templates, including removing TemplateData.packageGraph. (#2375, #2373, #2379)
Internal type changes for upcoming analyzer 0.41 (#2380, #2392)

Some template interface refactors preparing for mustache changes to drop use of dart:mirrors. (#2371, #2370)
Add an feature to allow declaring a DartdocOption's value to be a glob. (#2365)
- Breaking change: The DartdocOption constructor interface has changed so it uses an enum instead of individual isFile and isDir.
Emit a warning rather than throwing a fatal error for a package with no libraries. (#2360, #2327)
Fix several problems with implementation chain display when there are intermediate private classes (#2358, #2290, #2094, #2354, #1623)
Fix a deadlock in MultiFutureTracker. (#2351)
Cache exclude values and known parts. (#2347)

0.34.0 #

PackageConfigProvider, MockSdk, etc for improved unit testing (#2332)
- The new PackageConfigProvider class abstracts over PackageConfig from package_config. PhysicalPackageConfigProvider uses the real one; MemoryPackageConfigProvider is used in tests.
- The new isSdkLibraryDocumented abstracts over SdkLibrary's isDocumented, because it throws unimplemented for MockSdkLibrary.
- Remove ResourceProviderExtensions.defaultSdkDir. Now this is a property of PackageMetaProvider.
- Breaking change: Move io_utils listDir to be a private method in PackageBuilder.
- Breaking change: Add parameter to PubPackageBuilder constructor for a PackageConfigProvider.
- Breaking change: Add two parameters to the PackageMetaProvider constructor, one for the default SDK directory, and one for the DartSdk.
- Deprecate package.dart's substituteNameVersion.
- Shorten doc comments here and there to 80 columns.
- Move any tests which use testing/test_package_small to be unit tests; delete the package in testing/.

Use first element in a MultiplyDefinedElement (#2326)
Update all (approximately) i/o operations to use ResourceProvider (#2315):
- Breaking change: Many classes have a new ResourceProvider resourceProvider field: DartdocFileWriter, SnapshotCache, DartToolDefinition, ToolConfiguration, DartdocOption, PackageMetaProvider, PackageMeta, ToolTempFileTracker.
- Breaking change: Each of SnapshotCache and ToolTempFileTracker has a static instance field which took no arguments; now that they need a ResourceProvider, it was unwieldy to pass a ResourceProvider to get the instance each time, so a new method, createInstance creates the instance.
Remove wbr tags around block-displayed elements (#2320)

Fix regression where a property or top level variable can be listed twice under some conditions. #1401

0.11.0 #

Fix resolution of ambiguous classes where the analyzer can help us. #1397
Many cleanups to dartdoc stdout/stderr, error messages, and warnings:
- Display fatal errors with 'fatal error' string to distinguish them from ordinary errors
- Upgrades to new Package.warn system.
  - Fully integrated all scattered "warnings" (#1369) and added new ones for the link checker.
  - Allow for setting which warnings are errors in the library.
  - Change location output to something IntelliJ can understand and link to
  - Display location output for all warnings including line number plus column, when available from analyzer (still some bugs in our resolution). It still doesn't do code references quite right but at least gets you to the neighborhood.
  - Add a warn method to ModelElements so they can warn on themselves without help from the Package.
  - Warn correctly and squelch duplicates across doc inheritance and canonicalization almost everywhere.
  - Change --show-warnings to show all warnings, even those that might not be useful yet.
- Display a count of all warnings/errors after document generation.
- Make the progress counter tick slower.
Added a built-in link checker and orphaned file checker, and tied it into Package.warn so that when debugging dartdoc we can breakpoint and discover what about that ModelElement caused us to create the broken link. (#1380)
Fix bug where canonicalEnclosingElement could return a non-canonical Class.
Fix bug where findCanonicalModelElementFor could return a non-canonical Class.
Fix overriddenElement for Accessors to generate using enclosingCombo hint to ModelElement factory.
Fix fullyQualifiedNameWithoutLibrary when periods are part of the library name.
Add an allModelElements for Classes to support comment references.
Make allModelElements for Libraries work using Class.allModelElements recursively.
Squish some bugs related to duplicate logic for instantiating inherited class members.
- Enum and a few other places could still generate duplicate ModelElements for the same thing. This is now fixed.
- EnumField is now handled by ModelElement.from factory, fixing #1239.
- Added hints for EnumField and Accessors (index, enclosingCombo) to offload the buggy logic for figuring this out from callers to ModelElement.from.
Fix broken link generation when a canonical class's defining library isn't canonical.
Partial rewrite of GetterSetterCombo and Fields/TopLevelVariable handling
- Link correctly to generic types for Fields/TopLevelVariables.
- Use right, left, and bidirectional arrows for read-only, write-only, and read-write parameters.
Partial rewrite of comment reference system (#1391, #1285 partial)
- Handle gracefully a variety of things users try in the real world, like prefixing operators with 'operator', embedded newlines in comment references, and cases that shouldn't be considered at all (comment refs that are really array references in sample docs, etc).
- Handle canonicalization correctly for comment references: point to the right places and only to canonical elements.
- In general, warnings related to comment references should be much more useful now. (#1343)
  - Many fewer ambiguous doc reference warnings now and the ones that exist should be more easily understandable and fixable with the new warning message.
  - Understand references to parameters even though we don't do anything useful with them just yet
  - Generics outside square brackets (#1250) are now warned with better context information that takes newlines into account, but there are so many of them in complex packages like Flutter that we still only show those with --show-warnings.
- Cache the traversal of allModelElements.
- Change handling of enum constant linking in codeRefs to work properly, though warnings about that aren't right in some edge cases still.
- Only use analyzer resolving of commentRefs as a last resort since they don't take dartdoc canonicalization into account.
Added a new --footer-text command-line option, to allow adding additional text in the package name and copyright section of the footer.
Reduced stack depth by not recomputing findCanonicalLibraryFor. (#1381)
Workaround for (#1367) forces on enableAssertInitializer.
Work around analyzer-0.29 bug where embedded SDK uri's aren't properly reversed.

0.10.0 #

fix canonicalization problems and related issues introduced or not addressed in 0.9.11, including:
- (#1361), (#1232), (#1239 (partial))- Broken links in enums
- (#1345) and (#1090)- Reexports have wrong links in many places
- (#1341), (#1197 (partial)) - Duplicate docs still in some cases
- (#1334) - Some classes don't list their subclasses
- Inheritable class members had incorrect canonicalization in many cases
- ... and many other unfiled bugs relating to inheritance and duplicate files.
Dartdoc no longer creates documentation for a given identifier more than once. This means dartdoc is 20-30% faster on complex packages.
--auto-include-dependencies is now recursive past one layer (#589) It now drills all the way down and will dive into the SDK and other packages.
Change display of warnings to be more consistent; warnings now always go to stderr and are printed on their own line.
Dartdoc now warns when it is unable to find a canonical object to link to
Dartdoc now warns if a package exports an identifier so that it is ambiguous which one should be treated as canonical
Dartdoc now has a number of asserts in checked mode for issues solved and as-yet-unsolved, including (#1367) or canonicalization problems; try running in checked mode if you see structural problems in generated docs and see if an assert fires.
Dartdoc internals have changed significantly:
- Package now owns the calculation of recursive dependencies with a factory constructor, Package.withAutoincludedDependencies.
- ModelElements and Libraries now have Package-scoped caches.
- ModelElements and their subclasses now must be constructed from a single factory, ModelElements.from
- Package has new methods to assist canonicalization, including findCanonicalLibraryFor and findCanonicalModelElementFor.
- New mixin "Inheritable" helps class members calculate canonicalization for inheritable members
change order of library, class, and enum members on displayed pages (#1323).
change order of categories when using --use-categories, prioritizing this package first, the SDK second, packages with this package's name embedded third, and finally all other packages. A new flag, --category-order, lets you change what order categories appear in. (#1323)
fix broken masthead links in enums (#1225).
