  1. 4.0.0 30 Mar 2026
    Release notes
    • 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 DecoratedBox widgets. Thanks @alpinnz!
    • Major refactor - the codebase is now split into InspectorController and Inspector. This means that you can now build your own custom inspector UI by using the InspectorController, instead of being tied down to the default one. You can check out the example at custom_inspector_example.dart. Thanks @yelmuratoff!

  2. 3.1.0 09 Oct 2025
    Release notes
    • Added "compare" functionality - if a box is selected, you can now hold Y and 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!
