Discussion

Next Focus: Shipping Fiber

We are shifting our focus and will spend the rest of the year working on Fiber. This means we won't be working on JavaScript styles as originally planned. It seems like Fiber is our best shot at fixing many long-standing issues with React, and we are going to place all our effort into either replacing existing reconciler with Fiber, or failing spectacularly with it (and learning from that).

New React Docs

  • Dan published Codebase Overview and Implementation Notes as he planned for a long time.
  • Andrew, Ben, Dan, Héctor, Eric, and Kevin are working on the new documentation for the React website (#7864). We rewrote all of the introductory content to use modern APIs and consistent terminology, and also rewrote some of the advanced content. Ben wrote a new tutorial that we've been using internally at Facebook for a while. Kevin drives this effort, will land next week.

#### Releasing 15.4.0

  • Sebastian separated React from ReactDOM in #7164 and this will get into 15.4.0.
  • This means that projects reaching into react/lib/* (which was never supported!) will break.
  • We published an RC and ask people to try it and file issues with breaking projects. (#7770)
