BreakingHigh impact3.44.0 migration guide

Changing RawMenuAnchor close order

Closing a `RawMenuAnchor` now triggers the `onCloseRequested` and `onClose` callbacks for all descendant `RawMenuAnchor`s. The `onCloseRequested` callback is triggered top-down, starting from the triggering `RawMenuAnchor` and moving to its descendants, while the `onClose` callback is triggered bottom-up. If a `RawMenuAnchor` is already closed, calls to `MenuController.close` and `MenuController.closeChildren` don't trigger the `onCloseRequested` callback.

IconData class marked as final

The `IconData` class is now marked as `final`, which prevents it from being implemented or extended. This change is part of an effort to generalize the mechanism for tree-shaking assets and native code.

Deprecate onReorder callback

The `onReorder` callback in the `ReorderableListView`, `ReorderableListView.builder`, `ReorderableList`, and `SliverReorderableList` widgets has been replaced by a new callback, `onReorderItem`, which provides more intuitive behavior for `newIndex`.

Deprecated cacheExtent and cacheExtentStyle

Flutter 3.44 deprecates `cacheExtent` and `cacheExtentStyle` in scrolling-related widgets, such as `ListView`, `GridView`, `CustomScrollView`, and `Viewport`, and their corresponding render objects, such as `RenderViewport`. The new `scrollCacheExtent` property encapsulates both the value and the caching strategy (pixels or viewport).
