when is Flame v1.38.0 expected to be available via flutter pub upgrade?

[Miiohau]

I have code that is working around the fact that the HasWorldReference.onRemove didn't call super and wanted to know when I would safely be able to remove that code

It's already out. 1.38.0 landed on pub.dev on 19 July, and your fix is in it. From the changelog:

FIX: HasWorldReference.onRemove() should call super.onRemove() (#3920)

So the workaround can go as soon as you upgrade.

If flutter pub upgrade isn't picking it up, a plain ^1.37.0 isn't the reason. That resolves to >=1.37.0 <2.0.0, so 1.38.0 is already allowed. The usual culprits are the lockfile or a companion package holding you back:

flutter pub deps | grep flame

If you use flame_tiled, flame_forge2d or similar, one of them may still cap flame below 1.38.0, and pub will silently keep you on the highest version that satisfies everyone. flutter pub upgrade flame will name the constraint that's blocking it.

Heads up that 1.38.0 has breaking changes, including a new HoverCallbacks.onHoverCancel and a reworked scale event with a custom recognizer. Skim the changelog first if you do anything with gestures.
