 ==========================
 ObjectBox for Dart is a standalone database storing Dart objects locally, with strong ACID semantics.
 
+Flutter/Dart compatibility
+--------------------------
+This library depends on a new Dart feature, FFI, introduced in Dart 2.5 (Flutter 1.9) as a feature preview. 
+However, it has been change significantly significantly in Dart 2.6 (future Flutter 1.10.x), i.e. introduced breaking changes we had to reflect.
+Versions starting with ObjectBox 0.5 support Dart 2.6 as well as Flutter 1.10 (when it's finally released).
+
+The last supported version for Flutter 1.9/Dart 2.5 is ObjectBox 0.4.*, so if you can't upgrade yet, please use latest 0.4.x version instead.
+For Flutter users, this is the only option, as long as a new version of Flutter (1.10), including Dart 2.6 is released.
+
+If you're developing standalone/non-flutter dart programs, you can already use Dart 2.6 with the latest ObjectBox version.
