Docs updated or added since the 3.35 release

• The Dart language now supports dot shorthands syntax (aka shorthands), which allows you to write more concise code. For more information, visit the Dart dot shorthands page on dart.dev. Over time, the samples on this website will be updated to take advantage of this new feature.

• The flutter run command now supports a configuration file that allows you to specify web settings like host, port, certification, and header. The web dev config file also supports proxy settings, making it possible to forward specific path requests to another server. This makes it easier to develop a web client that connects to dynamic endpoints on the same host. For more information, visit setting up a web development configuration file.

• Development continues on the Flutter Widget Previewer tool, introduced as an experimental feature in the 3.35 release. For this release, the previewer better integrates with the VS Code and IntelliJ IDEs (including Android Studio). It's still an experimental feature. For more info about the latest version, check out the Widget Previewer tool page.
