Hotfixes to the Stable Channel
In general, our philosophy is to update the stable channel on a quarterly basis with feature updates. In the intervening period, occasionally we may decide a bug or regression warrants a hotfix. We tend to be extremely conservative with these hotfixes, since there's always a risk that fixing one bug introduces a new one, and we want the stable channel to always represent our most tested builds.
We intend to announce hotfixes to the flutter-announce group, and we recommend that you subscribe to that list if you publish an application using Flutter.
Note that we only hotfix the latest version -- if you see bugs on older versions of the stable channel, please consider moving to the latest stable channel version.
To ensure that you have the latest stable version with the hotfixes listed below, use the flutter tool at the command line as follows:
$ flutter channel stable
