Changelog

All notable changes to device_diagnostics are documented in this file.

0.0.6

Fixed

• 🐛 Fixed the No Overlay widget found error when the diagnostic overlay is displayed outside the application's MaterialApp overlay hierarchy.
• 🛠️ Improved diagnostic overlay integration by providing an appropriate Overlay ancestor for overlay-dependent widgets, including tooltips.

Fixed

• 🐛 Fixed the Directionality assertion triggered by the diagnostic overlay's Stack when no ancestor provides text direction.
• 🧭 Added a fallback text direction to support applications that wrap MaterialApp with DeviceDiagnostics.observability.
• 🛠️ Updated stack alignment to use Alignment.topLeft, removing the stack's dependency on directional alignment.
• 🔧 Improved diagnostic overlay compatibility with Flutter's widget hierarchy.

0.0.4

Fixed

• 🐛 Fixed the missing Directionality issue in the diagnostic overlay when used above MaterialApp.
