What action should I take?

Read the 5 official migration guides first, apply `dart fix` where available, then upgrade and run your test suite. Deprecations can be scheduled; removals cannot.

How do I migrate safely?

Prefer stepping through stable series sequentially; each breaking-change page has a checklist, before/after code and the official guide. Verify with `flutter analyze`, `flutter test` and a profile-mode run on each target platform.

BreakingHigh impact3.7.0 migration guide

Replaced parameters for customizing context menus with a generic widget builder

Context menus, or text selection toolbars, are the menus that show up when long pressing or right clicking on text in Flutter, and they show options like **Cut**, **Copy**, **Paste**, and **Select all**. Previously, it was only possible to narrowly customize them using `ToolbarOptions` and `TextSelectionControls`. Now, they have been made composable using widgets, just like everything else in Flutter, and the specific configuration parameters have been deprecated.
