### New CLI features and changes:

• Rewritten, slimmed-down CLI (just over 900 lines of code vs. over 3k for Ignite 3.x)
• Re-integrated the "Bowser" boilerplate back into the main repo for easier maintenance
• Switched to using the react-native CLI's template format
• New pretty output format
• Much better Expo support
• Completely rebuilt generator support (see blog post)
• Removed plugins (add & remove)
• Removed `ignite spork` (generators are sporked by default)

### New boilerplate features and changes

• Detox is now included in every new app
• Detox also works on Expo apps
• Much better Expo support
• Unimodules support included by default on non-Expo projects
• Updated React Native version
• Many other version bumps for dependencies

### Upgrading existing apps

Generally speaking, Ignite's main benefit is at the beginning of your project. If you used an older version of Ignite / Ignite Bowser to spin up your app, we don't recommend upgrading. If you wish, you could spin up a new version and copy over your changes to the new app.

If you have any trouble with the new CLI, let us know in the Infinite Red Community Slack: [http://community.infinite.red].

🔥 Happy Igniting! 🔥
