win32

• Add Bluetooth LE APIs

• Add speech API (SAPI) support and sample
• Add Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) support
• Automate more struct generation
• Apply more lints to source code
• Add GetUserName and update sysinfo example

• Fix import error for gamepad APIs
• Add gamepad example

• Added various inline functions, tidied up projection logic.

• Add gamepad APIs

• Add DPI_AWARENESS_CONTEXT enum values.

• Add a few minor constants and handle typedefs. Nothing to see here.

• Update package:ffi minimum version to 1.1.0, allowing use of arena
• Hide Char within generated structs.g.dart in prep for new FFI feature.

• Declare platform support using new platforms: declaration in pubspec.yaml
• Update minimum version to Dart 2.15.0 and use constructor tearoffs

• Add RegRenameKey.

• Add FileTimeToSystemTime and SystemTimeToFileTime.

• Added Windows Subsystem for Linux APIs (#342), with thanks to @ElMoribond. Add a new example that shows how to use them.
• Added SetEvent (#343) and CreateIcon (#344), with thanks to @untp.
• Add typedef for HKEY.
• Add more optional lints.
• Tweaked Explorer example.

• Added CreateThread, CreateRemoteThread, CreateRemoteThreadEx() per request
• Added GetMachineTypeAttributes and added logic for Windows 11.

• Added CreateDIBSection per request.
• Upgraded to latest published Windows metadata from Microsoft, which modifies the signature of some registry-related APIs from Int32 to Uint32 for better accuracy with the original API.
• Updated to the latest code generator, ported back from the v3 code.

• Use automatic code generator for most structs. This may be a breaking change if you use the Bluetooth APIs, since BLUETOOTH_ADDRESS.rgBytes is now an Array<Uint8> instead of a List<int>. This is more accurate, but will require minor code change.
• Add additional raw input constants

• Completely overhauled the metadata generation tooling. The code is much better structured, with each layer (type -> parameter -> method -> class) in its own ___Projection class. Fixed a number of errors in the process, such as the assumption that all enums are of type Uint32.
• Rewrote several complex structs to use the new Union FFI type introduced in Dart 2.14 (and updated the minimum version accordingly). Code that uses the INPUT struct will need to be slightly modified, since the mi/ki/hi fields are now nested rather than provided as an extension property.
• Cleaned up some COM Pointer types to be more explicit.
• Add raw input APIs
• Add low-level keyboard hooks example

• Add Windows 11 rounded corner window support along with sample
• Add magnifier APIs and example

• Add some missing GDI functions

• Add Native Wifi APIs (#299)

• Added ResetEvent and complete OVERLAPPED struct (#295)
• Added more virtual memory functions (#297)

• Add some requested APIs thanks to contributions from @ilopX, in particular a new sample for enumerating locally installed printers.
• Added ExtractAssociatedIcon, with thanks to @halildurmus.

• Add more DWM APIs, including DwmSetWindowAttribute.

• Add various DWM and subclassing APIs

• Lazily evaluate lookupFunction FFI calls for improved performance.
• Add APIs for hooks and a few extra kernel32 APIs
• Add some more tests.

• Add Windows Spooler library support.

• Add initial support for the Windows Socket library (winsock2).

• Fixes convertToHString to return an int, since HSTRINGs are handles. This is a breaking change for any apps that use WinRT APIs, but given the limited availability of WinRT classes that fall into this category, updating only the minor version.
• Add low-level Device IO and structured storage APIs and diskinfo.dart sample.

• Add smart card reader support.

• Add helper functions for COM along with extra documentation.

• Fix bug in shell COM APIs.
• Add examples for shortcut creation and named pipes.

• Add serial port comms APIs
• Add additional shell COM APIs

• Work around FFI regression in Dart master and dev builds.

• Upgrade to Dart 2.13, which supports packed structs and arrays in FFI. This enables support for more automated generation of structs, which in turn increases development velocity for this package.

• Other APIs included in this release include:

  • More complete Bluetooth support
  • MIDI support
  • High DPI support
  • IDispatch support
  • Many more core user32 APIs

• Add some debugging APIs to allow enumerating exported symbols, along with a sample (dump.dart).
• Free memory allocations in samples.
• Use latest version of Win32 metadata from winmd package, and generate most structs automatically using this metadata.
• Generate COM helper classes wherever metadata supports it, instead of requiring a manual decorator.
• Add about 20 new kernel32 APIs.

• Add network events, thanks to a contribution from @sunbreak.
• Update COM vtable generation, thanks to a contribution from @bonukai.
• Update to use the latest WinMD package.

2.0.3 - 2026-04-11

📦 Dependencies

• Lower minimum Dart SDK to 3.10.

• Adds named pipe APIs to support projects like TerminalStudio/pty.

• Adds a demo of custom window shapes.
• Removes Windows Metadata classes (now in the winmd package). This is a breaking change, but it's not anticipated to be a problem since these classes are only used for code generation.
• Update to latest WinMD package
• Add shell folder APIs
• Add registry key APIs

• Stable version w/ sound null safety.
• Update to ffi 1.0.0 and address breaking changes.
• 100+ new APIs in kernel32, user32, ole32, advapi32, shell32 and gdi32, as well as a series of COM interfaces.
• Rework API wrapper to use functions instead of properties
• New JSON-based metadata format for Win32 APIs that supports API sets and minimum versions, and more robust tooling for loading and saving metadata
• Migrated Windows Runtime APIs into core unmanaged metadata
• Add waveOut* APIs from winmm.dll (thanks @slightfoot)
