Some clients pass null, which was previously allowed by Flexible.

Fixes #7383

Skia calls this BlendMode now and that's a better name.

Fixes #7200

LayoutCallback passes constraints to the callback, but the constraints
object has a different type for different subclasses. This lets you
call invokeLayoutCallback() with a specific type to verify that
everything is working as expected.

Other changes:

Slightly improve the error reporting in RenderObject.

Allow toStringShallow on RenderObject to have its separator configured.

The assert helped me debug an issue recently.

The TODO is obsolete.

Also, make hasOneLineDescription more discerning.
Also, add a test for hasOneLineDescription.
Also, add a test for GravitySimulation, to test the toString.

- more dartdocs for the drag typedefs

- more toStrings to aid debugging

- require the position for DragUpdateDetails since we were omitting it
  in some places

- add the primaryVelocity to DragEndDetails so that consumers don't
  have to themselves track the axis in question

- fix the velocity tracker so that it doesn't walk the null data.
  Previously, near time t=0 (which pretty much only matters in tests,
  but it does matter there) we would walk the velocity data and then
  also walk missing data, treating it as Point.zero with t=0.

- simplify some of the velocity tracker; e.g. instead of trying (and
  failing?) to clear the velocity tracker when the pointer stalls,
  just drop the data before a stall during the velocity estimation
  (where we redundantly had another bigger horizon anyway).

Previously, SizeChangedLayoutNotifier fired a notification even for
the first layout.

Also, previously its test relied on that, and didn't actually change
size at all. This fixes the test as well.

Also, rename SizeChangedLayoutNotificaion to SizeChangedLayoutNotification.

Closes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/6907

It used to crash when the State never actually used the TickerProvider
interface.

```dart
expect(x, moreOrLessEquals(0.0));
```

...for those cases where `x` might be 1e-11 or whatever.

Also, be more resilient when dumping the tree from inside the test framework.
Also, add an assert that helped me debug something the other day.

This class is just an alias for PlatformMessages. We'll remove it after a short
deprecation period.

This lets you use `Listenable.merge` without having to sanitize your
incoming list of change notifiers, in case your semantics are that
they are optional.

We didn't end up using this mechanism.

More clearly explain the role of child, childWhenDragging, and feedback.

Fixes #6962

This patch changes the default appearance of Slider to not have the
thumb be an open circle at its minimum position. The `thumbOpenAtMin`
property can enable drawing an open thumb at the min position, which was
the previous behavior.

Fixes #6941

The docs now include all the information contained in the exception.

Fixes #6994

We were trying to update the tooltip overlay entry, but that cannot work
because the overlay entry might have already built. Instead, we keep the
old value.

Fixes #7151

This widget matches the style of the iOS slider widget. We don't yet
have the proper visual design for the disabled state.

Fixes #7252

This patch makes the CupertinoSwitch follow the style of the iOS switch
more accurately.

This patch contains a first draft of an iOS-style switch. We'll likely need to
tweak the constants upon closer study, but the basics are here.

Dart will parse this path as a URI, and multiple leading slashes will cause
that part of the path to be parsed as an authority.

Port DecelerateInterpolator to Flutter.

Also, hide the Curve subclasses that you can't extend and that have no
statics and are generally not useful.

Callers can manually validate by calling validate(), or tell the Form to
validate on every change by setting the `autovalidate` parameter.
