 Dart & Flutter DevTools - A Suite of Performance Tools for Dart and Flutter
 
 ## General updates
-* Added a new "Home" screen in DevTools that either shows the "Connect" dialog or
-a summary of your connected app, depending on the connection status in DevTools. Keep an
-eye on this screen for cool new features in the future. This change also enables support
-for static tooling (tools that don't require a connected app) in DevTools - [#6010](https://github.com/flutter/devtools/pull/6010)
-![home screen](images/home_screen.png "DevTools home screen")
-* Added an action to the main toolbar for loading offline data into DevTools - [#6003](https://github.com/flutter/devtools/pull/6003)
-![load data action](images/load_data.png "Load data action")
-* Fixed overlay notifications so that they cover the area that their background blocks - [#5975](https://github.com/flutter/devtools/pull/5975)
