#### dart2js
483484
484-
* The dart2js compiler now uses the common front-end by default. This is a
485-
step towards supporting Dart 2.0. At this time dart2js has no semantic
486-
changes: the Dart 2.0 strong-mode semantics are not enabled, so dart2js
487-
continues to support the Dart 1 type system. This change however lets us
488-
start supporting new syntactic features of Dart 2.0, like optional
489-
new/const. With this change you may notice:
485+
* dart2js now compiles programs with Dart 2.0 semantics. Apps are expected to
486+
be bigger than before, because Dart 2.0 has many more implicit checks
487+
(similar to the `--checked` flag in Dart 1.0).
490488
491-
* Small code differences (~1% code size): some code is generated slightly
492-
different, this is expected because the internal representation of the
493-
program has small differences between the old and new front end.
489+
We exposed a `--omit-implicit-checks` flag which removes most of the extra
490+
implicit checks. Only use this if you have enough test coverage to know that
491+
the app will work well without the checks. If a check would have failed and
492+
it is omitted, your app may crash or behave in unexpected ways. This flag is
493+
similar to `--trust-type-annotations` in Dart 1.0.
494494
495-
* Source-maps changes: with the new front-end, dart2js also is using a new
496-
mechanism to generate source-map files. We don't expect big differences
497-
here either, the new source-maps try to encode more data for locations
498-
that are commonly used during debugging.
495+
* dart2js replaced its front-end with the common front-end (CFE). Thanks to
496+
the CFE, dart2js errors are more consistent with all other Dart tools.
499497
500-
* Some missing errors: the CFE is not complete and may not report some
501-
static errors that the old front-end did. This is temporary. If you run
502-
the analyzer on all your project already, you may never notice those
503-
missing error messages.
498+
* dart2js replaced its source-map implementation. There aren't any big
499+
differences, but more data is emitted for synthetic code generated by the
500+
compiler.

* As announced earlier, this is the first version of dart2js that no
506-

502+
* `dart:mirrors` support was removed. Frameworks are encouraged to use
503+
code-generation instead. Conditional imports indicate that mirrors are not
504+
supported, and any API in the mirrors library will throw at runtime.
