+  Text now shows a hyphen when a line breaks at a soft hyphen (U+00AD),
+  and TextStyle.getParagraphStyle has a new hyphens parameter.
+---

+
+## Summary
+
+When a line of text breaks at a soft hyphen (U+00AD),
+Flutter now draws a visible hyphen at the end of the line.
+A new [`Hyphens`][] enum controls this,
+and [`TextStyle.getParagraphStyle`][] has a new `hyphens` parameter.
+Classes that override `getParagraphStyle` must add the parameter.
+
+## Background
+
+A soft hyphen marks a place where a word can be broken across lines.
+Flutter already broke lines at soft hyphens,
+but never drew the hyphen, so broken words looked cut off.
+
+The new `hyphens` parameter on [`Text`][], [`RichText`][], [`TextPainter`][],
+and `dart:ui`'s [`ParagraphStyle`][] takes a `Hyphens` value:
+
+* `Hyphens.manual` (the default) draws a hyphen at the break.
+* `Hyphens.hidden` doesn't draw a hyphen.
+  The soft hyphen is still a place where the line can break.
+
+This change affects apps in two ways.
+
+**Rendering.** Text now shows a hyphen
+wherever a line breaks at a soft hyphen.
+Lines still break in the same places,
+but the hyphen makes its line wider,
+so it can change `Paragraph.longestLine` and the size of text
+laid out with [`TextWidthBasis.longestLine`][].
+Golden image tests that contain such text might need updating.
+
+This applies to all platforms except the web,
+where soft hyphens aren't rendered yet.
+Widgets built on `EditableText`, such as `TextField` and `SelectableText`,
+also render the hyphen but don't have a `hyphens` parameter yet,
+so there's no way to opt out for them.
+
+**API.** `TextStyle.getParagraphStyle` gained an optional `hyphens` parameter.
+Because Dart requires an override to accept every parameter
+of the method it overrides, a class that overrides `getParagraphStyle`
+no longer compiles until it adds the parameter.
+This mostly affects test doubles and proxies of `TextStyle`,
+not typical app code.
+
+## Migration guide
+
+### Keep the old rendering {: #keep-the-old-rendering }
+
+To keep soft hyphens invisible, pass `Hyphens.hidden`.
+
+Code before migration:
+
+```dart
+Text('inter\u00ADnational')
+```
+
+Code after migration:
+
+```dart
+Text('inter\u00ADnational', hyphens: Hyphens.hidden)
+```
+
+### Update overrides of `getParagraphStyle` {: #update-overrides }
+
+If you override `TextStyle.getParagraphStyle`, add the new parameter.
+
+Code before migration:
+
+```dart
+@override
+ui.ParagraphStyle getParagraphStyle({
+  TextAlign? textAlign,
+  // ...other parameters...
+  StrutStyle? strutStyle,
+}) {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+Code after migration:
+
+```dart
+@override
+ui.ParagraphStyle getParagraphStyle({
+  TextAlign? textAlign,
+  // ...other parameters...
+  StrutStyle? strutStyle,
+  Hyphens? hyphens,
+}) {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+If your override forwards to another `getParagraphStyle`
+or constructs a `ParagraphStyle`, pass `hyphens` through.
+Otherwise, accepting and ignoring the parameter is enough.
