New Features in Monarch 1.6

Our latest release (version 1.6) brings debugging to Monarch! Working with Monarch keeps getting easier. 🙌

1. Visual debugging 🤓 🐛

You can now enable several options to visually debug your stories. And you can launch DevTools! 🚀

Check out our docs on debugging your story.

2. Debug your widgets in isolation 🦾 🤯

With Monarch and DevTools you can now debug your widgets source code in isolation, without running the full app.

4. Error capture

Monarch improves Flutter error messages by providing more context when a story generates an error. And now, Monarch captures even more errors than before.

5. Support for all Flutter versions

The Flutter team does an amazing job at providing regular releases of new Flutter versions in the dev, beta and stable channels. When a new Flutter version is released on any channel, the Monarch build automation starts a new Monarch build to support the new version. You can rest assured that Monarch will support every version of Flutter as soon as they come out. So, when you upgrade to the new Flutter version, Monarch will already support it.

We introduced support for all Flutter versions back in May and we are glad to see usage of Monarch across many Flutter versions and channels.
