+([#35](https://github.com/glin/reactable/issues/35)), which brings many
+new features, improvements, and bug fixes. reactable has been largely rewritten
+to take advantage of React Table's new approach as a flexible table utility
+rather than a table component.
+
+This means it'll be easier to add new custom features, customize styling and markup,
+and maintain reactable in the future. Most of the features and fixes in this release
+would not have been possible or easy to do without this upgrade.
+
+Backward compatibility was kept where possible, but note that there are several
+breaking changes, particularly around the JavaScript API.

 * The `rowInfo.row` property is now **deprecated**, and has been renamed to
   `rowInfo.values`. `rowInfo.row` remains supported, but replace usages with
   `rowInfo.values` when possible.
