Flutter-intellij: Use the "What's new in Android Studio" panel for release notes

Created on 19 Oct 2018 · 8Comments · Source: flutter/flutter-intellij

When I upgraded Android Studio to 3.2, it showed me this nice graphical release notes in a side panel (screenshot below). Can we use this to provide better release notes after a new version of the Flutter plugin is installed? The panel can be re-opened via Help > What's New in Android Studio.

Not off hand; I'll have to see if they defined a contribution mechanism. We wouldn't want to overwrite it but if we can add to it that might be nice. Or maybe we want a Help > What's New in Flutter as a separate panel.

@devoncarew Seems like it would really help discovery of new stuff.

That would be great. I'm not sure if that's something we can contribute to...

@stevemessick : any idea?

That works, too. It's probably cleaner than adding to "What's New in Android Studio".

Yup, I agree that this would makes sense as a new What's New in Flutter panel.

The Assistant framework can be used for more than a "What's New" panel. Go to Tools > Firebase for a much more elaborate example. It basically implements a built-in tutorial that does some amount of code editing for you, assuming you have an Android (not Flutter) project open.

As far as making a "What's New" for Flutter, it looks straight-forward. We'd need to implement some new classes and define the content to display in an XML file.

Let's give it a try for the next plugin release?

Certainly; we can help.
