Announcement of new version release with more platforms support!

The react-native framework is actively developing. If earlier it was difficult to find a library that would support two platforms (iOS and Android) at the same time, now it is the de facto standard.

And the boundaries of influence of the react-native framework are expanding. The development team plans to add support for windows, macOS as the default platform.

Therefore, the new release adds support for the web platform (using react-native-web), macOS and windows.

Breaking changes​

Fortunately, this release has fully backward compatibility with 1.x.x release. But I'd like to highlight some important changes:

  • require property in register function now marked as deprecated;
  • investigate returns only initially loaded modules;
  • screen gets mounted in async way.

You can read more about changes and migration in upgrading from 1.x guide

Improvements and future plans​

Apart of that, documentation for 2.0.0 was updated. Now it includes updated code examples, more developer tips and so on.

I'm going to keep updating the documentation. I want to add snacks so that you can experiment with the code right in the browser and see how real applications are built using this library.
