+The dart.js file is used in Dart browser apps to check for native Dart support |
+and either (a) bootstrap Dartium or (b) load compiled JS instead. Previously, |
+we've recommended that you add a script tag pointing the version of dart.js in |
+our repository. This doesn't work offline and also results in slower startup |
+(see [dartbug.com/6723](http://dartbug.com/6723)). |
+ |
+Instead, we now recommend that you install dart.js via the following steps: |
+ |
+1. Add the following to your pubspec.yaml: |
+ dependencies: |
+ browser: any |
+ |
+2. Run pub install. |
+ |
+3. Use a relative script tag in your html to the installed version: |
+ |
+ `<script src="packages/browser/dart.js"></script>` |
+ |
+If you do not wish to use pub, you may host a copy of this file locally instead. |
+In this case, you will need to update it yourself as necessary. We reserve the |
+right to move the old file in the repository, so we no longer recommend linking |
+to it directly. |
