0.57.0 Discussion

[grabbou]

Conversation on this thread are limited to 0.57 releases major issues and backport (cherry-pick) requests from commits that are already on master.

An example of a good such request is a bug fix for a serious issue that has been merged into master but did not make the 0.57 RC cut.

In other words, if you cannot point to a particular commit on master, then your request likely belongs as a new issue in http://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues.

Before we reach 0.57.0 we need to be sure this is fixed/closed: facebook/react-native#20327

During RC phase should be enough to change the preset dep

  - "presets": [ "react-native" ],
  + "presets": [ "metro-react-native-babel-preset" ],

But yeah we need to ensure the transition.

Will this issue be resolved by 0.57:
facebook/react-native#19953

When is 0.57 due for release? It has been frustrating not being able to use react native on Windows.

@kelset I believe you need to set module:metro-react-native-babel-preset if the module name isn't prefixed with "babel-preset".

Also preferably this commit should be cherry picked in to the next release, it's one of the few issues that we're having to maintain a fork for.

Hey thanks for the feedback - we still haven't released the first rc because we had some issues testing RNTester, so we'll basically sync the 0.57 branch with master asap so you'll also get that fix (I want it too 😅).

[rafaellincoln]

Is there any chance of this commit entering version 0.57?

[kelset]

@rafaellincoln we are cutting the first RC of 0.57 today (unless during our testing something weird happens) and we'll basically synch the branch with master first, so you'd be able to see that commit in it 💪

[fungilation]

Update on 0.57 please? I'm not seeing any RC on https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases

[kelset]

While testing the branch we got stuck on this facebook/react-native#20567

so until we resolve it we won't release.

In the meantime you can find a draft of the changelog for the new version in the dedicated branch - it's a WIP but if you want to have a quick view of what is going to happen there you can read it.

Quick update, we managed - with the help of a few amazing devs of this community - to finally get to a stage where we are feeling ok with releasing the first RC.

Currently CI is blocked by an invalid npm token, but it's being taken care of so expect 0.57-rc0 to be on npm in the next 12/24 hours.
