Breaking changes

Switch componentWillMount / componentWillUnmount order

(5eb3ab3) - @sebmarkbage

This switches a React feature flag so that componentWillMount happens before
componentWillUnmount when a child switches. It used to be inconsistent and this
makes it consistent and inline with what React Fiber does.

Correct value of Dimensions.get('screen').fontScale

(186f308) - @rigdern

On Android, the following properties now return a different number:

  • Dimensions.get('window').fontScale
  • Dimensions.get('screen').fontScale
  • PixelRatio.getFontScale()

This is a breaking change to anyone who was using these properties because the meaning of these properties has now changed.

These properties used to return a value representing font scale times density (DisplayMetrics.scaledDensity). Now they return a value representing just font scale (Configuration.fontScale).

Only call batchDidComplete when there were actually native calls dispatched

(5f09ca4) - @astreet

This is breaking because it affects the contract for onBatchComplete, but modules really shouldn't (and probably aren't) depending on it being called without any actual native module method calls having happened.

February 2017

This is February 2017 release, also known as 0.42.0.

Breaking changes

Xcode 8.x is required

Older compilers for iOS such as Xcode 7.x's are no longer supported. Please upgrade to the latest version of Xcode.

Android: windowSoftInputMode for new apps

e3d4ace - @mkonicek

All new apps created with react-native init are going to have windowSoftInputMode:``adjustResize instead of adjustUnspecified, which is default. That change makes keyboard handling on Android automatic and doesn't require any Javascript solutions, like KeyboardAvoidingView to be used. You can see the rationale behind that change along the screenshots here. It shouldn't be breaking for most of the users.

Android: (Re)move JSBundleLoader.getSourceUrl()

89d72c9 - @amnn

If you are using any of the following API's to access the Source URL of the bundle:

  • JSBundleLoader.getSourceUrl()
  • ReactInstanceManager.getSourceUrl()
  • ReactInstanceManager.getJSBundleFile()

you have to now refer to the source of truth for this information, which is at CatalystInstance.getSourceURL(), or the return value of JSBundleLoader.loadScript().

Android: Remove RecyclerViewBackedScrollView

6ec5654 - @mkonicek

RecyclerViewBackedScrollView was added a long time ago to work around the scroll-back-when-data-is-added bug, but that has now been fixed directly in the ScrollView (ReactScrollView.java) in open source and internally.

Both: Improve validation of transform property

0ed31eb - @janicduplessis

This commit improves validations of the transform object that are done on the Javascript side and makes it a bit stricter (hence the breaking change). When moving transform objects parsing to native the validations got out of sync a bit. In this change we make sure JS validations are the same or stricter than the native ones to make sure we get consistent errors across platforms.

This is 0.41.0 release, referred to as "January 2017" according to the new release schedule.

New features

Android: Nodes

This feature is currently experimental. You can turn it on by applying this in your ReactNativeHost subclass.

Nodes is an experimental, alternate version of UIImplementation for ReactNative on Android. It has two main advantages over the existing UIImplementation:

  • Support for overflow:visible on Android.
  • More efficient generation of view hierarchies.

The intention is to ultimately replace the existing UIImplementation on Android with Nodes (after all the issues are ironed out).

Feature development and bug-fixes related to Nodes are listed below in a separate section for better clarity.

Check the readme for more details.

Breaking changes

Android: Change ReactNativeHost getUseDeveloperSupport to public

f3c8158 - @jpshelley

This changes the visibility of getUseDeveloperSupport from protected to public. In order to upgrade, you should replace the following in your MainApplication.java:

protected boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {

with

public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {

Android: ReactClippingViewGroup is moved to another package

57ebb98 - @astreet

Developers using ReactClippingViewGroup may need to update their imports from:

import com.facebook.react.views.view.ReactClippingViewGroupHelper;

to

import com.facebook.react.uimanager.ReactClippingViewGroupHelper;

December 2016

This is the first release with the new monthly cadence, so 0.40 is known as December 2016. The next version will be 0.41 - January 2017, and will be released at the end of the month.

Breaking Changes

iOS native headers moved

This change affects all native modules and application code on iOS that refer to react native .h files

After e1577df, Native code on iOS must refer to headers out of the react namespace. Previously the following would work:

#import "RCTUtils.h"

But now all headers have been moved:

#import <React/RCTUtils.h>

This means that all iOS native libraries need a major version bump for RN 0.40. We attempt to minimize changes of this magnitude, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.

require('image!...') no longer supported

Support for require('image!…'), which has been deprecated for a long time, is now removed. If you are still loading images that way in your apps, make sure to check the documentation for alternatives.

getTransformModuleOptions is removed

If you were having custom rn-cli.config.js in your app and for some reason, using getTransformModuleOptions, make sure to check @davidaurelio commit ca58e0a for details on the changes.

Breaking changes

General

  • Default scrollview to flexShrink to allow views below it (c43a3f5) - @emilsjolander

  • Fix unconstraint sizing in main axis (0a9b6be) - @emilsjolander

    Most of your layouts will continue to function as before however some of them might not. Typically this is due to having a flex: 1 style where it is currently a no-op due to being measured with an undefined size but after this change it may collapse your component to take zero size due to the implicit flexBasis: 0 now being correctly treated. Removing the bad flex: 1 style or changing it to flexGrow: 1 should solve most if not all layout issues your see after this change.
