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.
