Previously the engine was creating multiple `ShapeNode`s all underneath the same root `EntityNode` at local space z=0. This caused frequent z-fighting within Flutter layers. This patch updates the engine to only create one ShapeNode per EntityNode, which fixes the z-fighting independent of layer elevation. Z-fighting is still possible from actually setting multiple layers to the same z in world space using Flutter elevation. flutter/flutter#25226
Flutter Engine
Flutter is a new way to build high-performance, cross-platform mobile apps. Flutter is optimized for today's, and tomorrow's, mobile devices. We are focused on low-latency input and high frame rates on Android and iOS.
The Flutter Engine is a portable runtime for hosting Flutter applications. It implements Flutter's core libraries, including animation and graphics, file and network I/O, accessibility support, plugin architecture, and a Dart runtime and compile toolchain. Most developers will interact with Flutter via the Flutter Framework, which provides a modern, reactive framework, and a rich set of platform, layout and foundation widgets.
If you are new to Flutter, then you will find more general information on the Flutter project, including tutorials and samples, on our Web site at flutter.io. For specific information about Flutter's APIs, consider our API reference which can be found at the docs.flutter.io.
