Breaking Changes

●Issue #1

Deep imports to modules inside React Native libraries using 'require' syntax now require an explicit '.default' suffix. This affects modules in Libraries/Alert, ActionSheetIOS, BatchedBridge, AppState, Blob, BugReporting, vendor, Vibration, YellowBox, Components, and DevMenu.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    Update any deep 'require' imports for React Native internal libraries (e.g., require('react-native/Libraries/Alert')) to include '.default' (e.g., require('react-native/Libraries/Alert').default).

Release Summary

This release introduces breaking changes to deep module imports requiring '.default' when using require. It also adds significant Flow type improvements, enhanced debugging tools in LogBox and Metro, and new layout features like linear gradient hints and font stylistic sets.
