4.0.030 Mar 2026Release notes
Open source →- Major codebase improvements and better inspector handling for certain box types (e.g. FittedBox). Also supports inspecting inside of widgets like
InteractiveViewer. Thanks @EArminjon! - Exposed BorderRadius properties for better inspection of
DecoratedBoxwidgets. Thanks @alpinnz! - Major refactor - the codebase is now split into
InspectorControllerandInspector. This means that you can now build your own custom inspector UI by using theInspectorController, instead of being tied down to the default one. You can check out the example atcustom_inspector_example.dart. Thanks @yelmuratoff!

3.1.009 Oct 2025Release notes
Open source →- Added "compare" functionality - if a box is selected, you can now hold
Yand hover another box to see the difference in the boxes' position. Thanks @EArminjon! - Improved handling for selecting boxes - it now doesn't rely on hit testing, which should make it possible to select boxes that aren't hit-testable, but are visible on the screen. Thanks @EArminjon!
- Better text inspection - for rich text, it'll now display all the styles applied to the text. Thanks @EArminjon!
