Some changes to service protocol before we land 1.13.

CHANGELOG.md

 ## 1.13.0
 
 ### Core library changes
 * `dart:async`
   * `StreamTransformer` instances created with `fromHandlers` with no
     `handleError` callback now forward stack traces along with errors to the
     resulting streams.
 
 * `dart:core`
   * `Uri` added `removeFragment` method.
   * `String.allMatches` (implementing `Pattern.allMatches`) is now lazy,
     as all `allMatches` implementations are intended to be.
 
 * `dart:io`
   * `HttpClient` no longer sends URI fragments in the request. This is not
     allowed by the HTTP protocol.
     The `HttpServer` still gracefully receives fragments, but discards them
     before delivering the request.
 
 ### Tool changes
 
 * `docgen` and 'dartdocgen' no longer ship in the sdk. The `docgen` sources have
    been removed from the repository.
 
 * This is the last release to ship the VM's "legacy debug protocol".
   We intend to remove the legacy debug protocol in Dart VM 1.14.
 
+* The VM's Service Protocol has been updated to version 3.0 to take care
+  of a number of issues uncovered by the first few non-observatory
+  clients.  This is a potentially breaking change for clients.

 ## 1.12.0
 
 ### Language changes
 
 * Null-aware operators
     * `??`: if null operator. `expr1 ?? expr2` evaluates to `expr1` if not `null`, otherwise `expr2`.
     * `??=`: null-aware assignment. `v ??= expr` causes `v` to be assigned `expr` only if `v` is `null`.
     * `x?.p`: null-aware access. `x?.p` evaluates to `x.p` if `x` is not `null`, otherwise evaluates to `null`.
     * `x?.m()`: null-aware method invocation. `x?.m()` invokes `m` only if `x` is not `null`.

     they will keep the Dart process alive until they time out. This fixes the
     handling of persistent connections. Previously, the client would shut down
     immediately after a request.
 
   * **Breaking change:** `HttpServer` no longer compresses all traffic by
     default. The new `autoCompress` property can be set to `true` to re-enable
     compression.
 
 * `dart:isolate`: `Isolate.spawnUri` added the optional `packageRoot` argument,
   which controls how it resolves `package:` URIs.
