flutter_string_extractor 2.0.0

Dart CLI to extract Flutter localization strings into JSON. Supports GetX, Easy Localization, Intl and ARB import, preserving existing translations.

2.0.0 - 2026-10-01

Added

• GetX argument/plural variants, Easy Localization widget/context/plural calls, Flutter Translate, FlutterI18n, i18n_extension, and static Intl.message support.
• ARB message import for gen-l10n, Flutter Intl, and ICU catalog messages.
• Unmarked-string discovery, preview, exclusions, generated-file opt-in, and configurable translation function/getter names.
• Library scan results and location diagnostics for unresolved expressions.
• Extraction, CLI, catalog preservation, and file-safety regression tests.
• Expanded API/Unicode/CLI edge cases and repeatability stress tests.
• CI across Linux, macOS, and Windows on minimum and stable Dart SDKs.
• Version-tag publishing with GitHub OIDC through the official Dart workflow.
• Published installation examples, localization FAQ, and a factual llms.txt index.

Changed

• Use Dart's analyzer parser to decode static literals and ignore comments.
• Require Dart 3.9+ and resolve modern compatible dependencies.
• Upgrade analyzer to 12.1.0 and refresh dependency constraints and lockfile.
• Preserve existing translations, stale keys, and nested catalog structures by default; explicit --replace resets the catalog.
• Send diagnostics and summaries to stderr; dry-run stdout is JSON.

Fixed

• Correct quote/escape/multiline/adjacent literal and whitespace handling.
• Reject missing source, malformed catalogs, conflicting message IDs, source destinations, symlinks, and non-file output before writing.
• Stage writes beside the output before replacement; preserve POSIX permissions and use owner-only access for newly created catalogs on macOS/Linux.
