What’s new in Flutter 3.41

Today, we’re excited to announce the release of Flutter 3.41, marking a transformative milestone in our journey together! What an exciting time to be a developer; this release represents our commitment to empowering our community in shaping the direction of Flutter. With 868 commits from 145 unique contributors, Flutter 3.41 provides additional transparency and modularity to further improve the experience of contributing to Flutter. We are introducing public release windows to make it easier for you to know when changes you contribute would land in a stable release. We are also continuing to decouple our design libraries, which in the long term will help us evolve design systems faster, while also giving you control over which design changes you adopt in your apps. Whether you are pushing the limits of the GPU with new fragment shader improvements or embedding Flutter seamlessly into existing native apps with content-sized views, this release ensures you have the tools to build with confidence and speed. There is so much to explore, so let’s dig right in…

**Structural transparency and modularity **Public Release Windows Predictability is key to landing complex features safely. We are introducing public release windows to provide the entire community with the visibility needed to plan ahead. By explicitly calling out branch cutoff dates and release targets publicly, we enable the entire community to have clarity on when their changes would land in future stable releases. So what is a branch cutoff date? This date is the deadline for pull requests to land in the default branches (main for Dart and master for Flutter) to guarantee inclusion in the next stable release. If your PR merges before the cutoff, it will ship in the next stable version. If it merges after, it waits for the following cycle. For 2026, we plan to release four stable releases (including this one), the dates are as follows: [Flutter 3.41 — Feb | Branched on 06 January Flutter 3.44 — May | Branches on 07 April Flutter 3.47 — August | Branches on 07 July Flutter 3.50 — November | Branches on 06 October](url)
