Upgrade from 0.61.0-rc.3 to 0.61?

[spyshower]

This isn't exactly a bug report.

How do I update from 0.61.0-rc.3 to 0.61? The upgrade-helper doesn't mention rc versions.

0.61.0-rc.3 to 0.61 has minor version differences in devDependencies and removes packagingOptions from android/app/build.gradle.

0.61.0 to 0.61.1 does have some differences as a couple of changes were reverted so you could go straight to 0.61.1 from 0.61.0-rc.3. Be aware that there's a problem currently with the upgrade helper suggesting reverting to React 16.8 which isn't intended - react-native-community/releases#146 (comment)

Work is underway to include RCs in upgrade helper in the future - react-native-community/upgrade-helper#91
