February 2018

Welcome to the February 2018 release of React Native! This release includes work done by the React Native team and the community in January, and there are some big changes here after the holidays. Thanks for 270 commits from 87 contributors, you all are great! Here are a few highlights from the release:

  • Long awaited Blob changes: upload, download, fetch locally, and more
  • Sticky headers now work on inverted Lists
  • Update to the newest React, which deprecated some lifecycle methods and added new ones – expect Yellowbox until React Native is updated
  • Space-evenly is now there (sorry for the confusion with 0.52's release notes)
  • A lot of under-the-covers work on Yoga, iOS's Text and TextInput, and a ton of other areas
  • Multiple crash fixes

The changelog is arranged by the customary added, removed, changed, and fixed plus internal; the changes are also organized by platform.

If you want to get involved in the process of preparing releases and making changelog (yes, we need your help!), please get in touch with me.

We keep the draft of changelogs here: https://github.com/turnrye/react-native-changelog. Visit this repository for tracking the progress of upcoming releases and suggesting improvements to the current one.

October 2017

Thanks to @thymikee for wrapping up release notes for this release. If you want to help by creating release notes for next release, let me know. We are happy to guide you through this process.

Highlights

  • <Image> with nested content is no longer supported. Looking into <ImageBackground> instead if this is something you did in our app
  • Android Oreo (8.0) support
  • Support for null titles in AlertIOS

Breaking changes

GENERAL

  • Add interface for ReactShadowNode (a5d1d25)

  • Default enableBabelRCLookup (recursive) to false (023ac57) - @ide

    This is a breaking change that tells Metro to look at only the project's .babelrc file. Previously it would look at .babelrc files under node_modules and would run into issues because it didn't have the version of Babel nor the plugins/presets that node_modules/randompackage/.babelrc wanted. So as a workaround, people would write a postinstall step that deletes node_modules/**/.babelrc, which worked well. This flag (getEnableBabelRCLookup = false) has the same effect and hopefully fixes one source of cryptic bugs people run into.

    To use the old behavior, create a config file named rn-cli.config.js with:

    module.exports = {
  getEnableBabelRCLookup() {
    return true;
  },
};

    Go under node_modules, modify a used module to have a dummy .babelrc ({"plugins": ["dummy"]}) and ensure the JS bundle still loads.

Android

  • BREAKING: Removed support of nested content inside <Image> on Android (3ff463f) - @shergin

  • BREAKING: Removed support of nested content inside <Image> on iOS (c55fae1) - @shergin

Thanks to @satya164 for preparing this release notes!

Breaking changes and deprecations

General

  • New projects have a single entry-point (index.js) from now on (6e99e31) - @fson

    Summary:

    Before

    • When creating a new project with react-native init, generated template has two entry-points: index.ios.js and index.android.js
    • Those two files were always identical

    After

    • When creating a new project, generated template has a single, shared entry-point: index.js

    Updating your code

    When upgrading to this release with react-native-git-upgrade or react-native upgrade, be aware that these tools will automatically update your code to use index.js instead of index.ios.js and index.android.js, as previously. However, they will not create an index.js file for you. This is a side-effect of the react-native-git-upgrade that has to be reverted. After running that tool, you have two options:

    • rename index.ios.js to index.js and remove index.android.js (providing that they were as generated by react-native init)
    • revert changes done by react-native-git-upgrade in order to keep separate entry files. That is, as soon as you upgrade, revert changes made to AppDelegate.m, MainApplication.java and build.gradle.

  • Yoga: Change aspect ratio behavior (67c160c) - @emilsjolander

    Summary:

    Before

    • Aspect ratio would do its best to fit within it's parent constraints
    • Aspect ratio would prioritize alignItems: stretch over other sizing properties.

    After

    • Aspect ratio is allowed to make a node grow past its parent constraints. This matches many other aspects of flexbox where parent constraints are not treated as hard constraints but rather as suggestions.
    • Aspect ratio only takes alignItems: stretch into account if no other size definition is defined. This matches the interaction of other properties with alignItems: stretch.

    Updating your code

    You probably don't need to do anything but in case something does break in your product it should be as easy as adding {width: '100%', height: '100%', flexShrink: 1} to the style declaring the aspectRatio.

Android

  • Rename module name to module path (5d4c6e5)
