0.59.10

And we hope you are getting ready for 0.60.0, as it's coming soon and it will be packed with exciting new features and improvements 🚀

0.59.9

This is a patch fix release addressing a couple ScrollView regressions, and "future-proof" RN 59 from crashes caused by upgrading Gradle (now can support up to 5.4.1 & 3.4.0 for the plugin) and Xcode 11 Beta 1. You can upgrade to this version without upgrading your tooling.

Changed

• If isInteraction is not specified in the config, it would always default to true which would block interactions like VirtualizedList updates. This is generally not what you want with useNativeDriver since the animation won't be interrupted by JS. If something does end up interfering with an animation and causes frame drops, isInteraction can be set manually. (ded7119 by @sahrens)

• Update detox to match master (c6a5c09 by @kelset)

Android specific

• Bump Gradle to 5.4.1 & Android Gradle plugin to 3.4.0 (2282c15, 4652392, 184108f, deb41eb by @dulmandakh)

Fixed

• Fixes wrong time unit of scroll event throttle (ebe2827 by @zhongwuzw)

Android specific

• Fix indexed RAM bundle (2b0e11c by @dratwas)

iOS specific

• Fix Xcode 11 Beta 1 builds (52cda84 by @ericlewis)
