Flutter 2.8 – What’s new & improved that everyone must know.

• Improved application’s start up time and splash screen time are most eye catchy improvements for developers as well as the users.
• Flutter team has looked into start-up time to get it reduce as much as possible. Additionally, they tested app that has global coverage and over 1 million users i.e., Google Pay. What next then? The results were quite interesting & like, 50% time is reduced when running on a low-end device, and by 10% improvements on high-end devices.
• Profiling the deployed app is the most common check for developers and it must needed feature for every flutter developer. So, now in profile they bring new updates i.e. This release now sends tracing events to the Android systrace recorder if it is enabled at application startup, and these events are sent when the Flutter application is built in release mode.

• The Flutter Ecosystem Committee has met again to designate the following as Flutter Favorite packages:

• Three custom router packages for the new Router API: beamer, routemaster, and go_router
• drift, a rename of an already capable and popular reactive persistence library for Flutter and Dart, built on top of sqlite
• freezed, a Dart “language patch” to provide a simple syntax for defining models, cloning objects, pattern matching, and more
• dart_code_metrics, a static analysis tool that helps us to analyze and improve our code quality.
• And several great looking GUI packages: flex_color_scheme, flutter_svg, feedback, toggle_switch, and auto_size_text

At the end, just to summarize if, this update comes with great improvements and optimization in Flutter for flutter developers and obviously we know under the hood there is lots of it.
