0.9.0 (February 11, 2017)

Thanks to @Timer for cutting this release.

🚀 New Feature

  • react-scripts

    • #1489 Support setting "homepage" to "." to generate relative asset paths. (@tibdex)

      Applications that don’t use the HTML5 pushState API can now be built to be served from any relative URL. To enable this, specify "." as your homepage setting in package.json. It used to be possible before with a few known bugs, but they should be fixed now. See Serving the Same Build from Different Paths.

    • #937 Add PUBLIC_URL environment variable for advanced use. (@EnoahNetzach)

      If you use a CDN to serve the app, you can now specify PUBLIC_URL environment variable to override the base URL (including the hostname) for resources referenced from the built code. This new variable is mentioned in the new Advanced Configuration section.

    • #1440 Make all REACT_APP_* environment variables accessible in index.html. (@jihchi)

      This makes all environment variables previously available in JS, also available in the HTML file, for example %REACT_APP_MY_VARIABLE%. See Referencing Environment Variables in HTML.

  • react-dev-utils

    • #1148 Configure which browser to open with npm start. (@GAumala)

      You can now disable the automatic browser launching by setting the BROWSER environment variable to none. You can also specify a different browser (or an arbitrary script) to open by default, as supported by opn command that we use under the hood. See Advanced Configuration.

💥 Breaking Change

🐛 Bug Fix

  • react-scripts

    • #1441 Added babel-runtime dependency to deduplicate dependencies when using Yarn. (@jkimbo)

🐛 Bug Fix

  • react-scripts

    • #1233 Disable subresource integrity temporarily. (@Timer)

      We added Subresource Integrity checks to the build output in 0.8.2 but it turns out that they may fail in browsers using special compression proxies, such as Chrome on Android, when served over HTTP. We disabled the checks until we can find a safe way to add them.

🚀 New Feature

  • react-scripts
    • #1176 Add Subresource Integrity support. (@XVincentX)

      The generated HTML now includes Subresource Integrity attributes ensuring that your users aren't served malicious code if your CDN gets compromised.

🐛 Bug Fix

  • react-scripts

    • #1197 Let Jest handle all file types. (@gaearon)

      Since 0.8.0, we started treating imports of any unknown file extensions as URLs. However, we had to revert this change for the test configuration in 0.8.1 because of a bug causing false positives. In 0.8.2, we are fixing this and making test configuration treat imports with unknown extensions the same way as we do in the browser environment.

    • #1194 Only honor relative NODE_PATH. (@gaearon)

      Historically we have allowed specifying NODE_PATH environment variable as a way to allow “absolute imports”. For example, running NODE_PATH=src npm start in Bash or set NODE_PATH=src&&npm start in Windows Cmd would let you import anything inside src without specifying a relative path. However, we found a few nasty edge cases when Node.js core modules end up being in NODE_PATH and erroneously become bundled. As a result the build would crash on some systems when some libraries are imported. To fix this, we now only honor relative paths from NODE_PATH in Create React App. This means the existing use case for absolute imports is still supported (src in the example above is relative), but absolute paths in NODE_PATH (such as paths to Node.js core modules) will be ignored.

    • #1188 Update Webpack to fix source map issues. (@gaearon)

      Since 0.8.0, we show source maps in development instead of the compiled code. However, it has come to our attention that Webpack's source map implementation had issues interpreting Babel output, and caused source maps to be wrong and breakpoints to be unusable in some cases. Webpack has released a fix for this, and we have updated the minimal version of Webpack that we are using.

    • #1180 Use file-loader for svgs. (@bogdansoare)

      Since 0.8.0, we are treating all imports with non-JS/CSS extensions the same way. Importing them gives you a string with their URL, and if their content is small enough (less than 10K), the URL is in fact an inlined data URI. However, this doesn't work well with SVGs in case you use them for a sprite system since fragments don't work in data URIs, and it's wasteful to inline the same sprite SVG many times. To fix this, we have added an exception so that SVG files never get inlined.

  • react-dev-utils

    • #1165 Chrome 'open tab' reuse an empty tab when possible. (@n3tr)

      Fixes an issue that caused two tabs to get opened instead of just one. It also fixes some cases where the window with the existing tab would not get activated.

  • babel-preset-react-app

    • #1179 Fix Babel issues in tests by applying the right transforms. (@gaearon)

      Fixes regressions in test environment that caused syntax errors with generators and async / await.

💅 Enhancement

  • eslint-config-react-app

    • #1191 Relax peerDependencies for ESLint preset. (@gaearon)

      This allows the preset to be used in more apps without peer dependency conflicts. We still pin the exact versions in apps that haven't ejected for extra safety.

    • #1159 Make jsx-no-undef rule an error. (@existentialism)

      Using an undefined type in JSX is now treated as a hard lint error because it is guaranteed to crash application at runtime.

  • react-scripts

    • #1175 Remove path module from webpack config on eject. (@harunhasdal)

      This makes the output after ejecting a bit cleaner.

    • #1120 Add testURL to Jest config. (@spudly)

      This fixes an error when running tests that interact with History API in jsdom.

🚀 New Feature

  • react-scripts

    • #944 Crash the build during CI whenever linter warnings are encountered. (@excitement-engineer)

      Linter warnings and errors are now checked during a continuous integration build (set by the CI environment variable) and the build will fail if any issues are found. See Continuous Integration for more information.

    • #1090 Enable proxying of WebSockets. (@dceddia)

  • create-react-app, react-scripts

    • #898 Support Yarn. (@fson)

      Yarn is a new fast, reliable and secure alternative to the npm client. If you have Yarn installed, create-react-app will use it to install packages when you create an app. It also creates a yarn.lock file that should be checked into source control (e.g. git). This ensures the same versions of packages will be installed each time yarn install is run, on any machine.

      react-scripts now also displays instructions using yarn commands for projects using Yarn (projects having a yarn.lock file).

      To create a project using Yarn, simply install yarn and use create-react-app like before:

      npm install -g yarn create-react-app@latest
      
      create-react-app my-app  # Packages are now installed with Yarn.
      

💥 Breaking Change

  • babel-preset-react-app
    • #902 Enable useBuiltIns option on object-rest-spread. (@existentialism)

      Object rest spread and JSX now use the native Object.assign() method instead of Babel's helper function. If you are using babel-preset-react-app directly in your project and targeting browsers that don't have Object.assign() available, from now on you need a polyfill for it (e.g. object-assign).

      Note: react-scripts already adds this polyfill, so no changes are necessary in Create React App projects.

    • #1078 Upgrade Jest to 17.0. (@fson)

    • #1059 Use url-loader with limit 10k as a default loader. (@bebbi)

      react-scripts now treats imports with any unknown file extension as a resource. Files with a size below 10 KB are inlined using a data URI and larger files copied to the build folder. This removes the need for an internal whitelist of supported file extensions. Any file that's not JS or CSS is now handled the same way.

    • #924 Enable JavaScript source maps in development. (@ekaradon)

    • #1058 Add missing dev argument in build script message. (@nhajidin)

    • #961 Add collectCoverageFrom option to collect coverage on files without any tests. (@pmackcode)

        my-app
        in /Users/ian/dev/my-app
      
      Would you like to run the app on another port instead?

Breaking Changes in 0.5.0

Global ESLint Plugin Versions

If you used a global ESLint installation for the editor integration, you’ll need to install these versions of global ESLint packages.

Moving index.html into public Folder

You’ll also need to create a new folder called public in the root of your project. Then, move index.html and files it references (such as a favicon) into that folder.

You can no longer reference any files from ./src in index.html. Instead, public/index.html can now only reference files other inside of the public folder using a special variable called %PUBLIC_URL%.

For example, instead of:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="./src/favicon.ico">

You would need to move both index.html and src/favicon.ico into the public folder, and change <link> to look like this:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico">

This ensures it become a part of the build output, and resolves correctly both with client-side routing and non-root homepage in package.json. Read more about using the public folder and why these changes were made.

Build Dependency (react-scripts)

Migrating from 0.4.0 to 0.4.1

Inside any created project that has not been ejected, run:

npm install --save-dev --save-exact react-scripts@0.4.1

0.4.0 (September 2, 2016)

Build Dependency (react-scripts)

  • Breaking Change: Disabled implicit serving of source files in development. (@gaearon in #551)
  • You can use NODE_PATH environment variable for absolute import paths. (@jimmyhmiller in #476)
  • If src/setupTests.js exists, it will be used to setup the test environment. (@gaelduplessix in #548)
  • If HTTPS environment variable is set to true, development server will run in HTTPS mode. (@dceddia in #552)

Migrating from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0

Inside any created project that has not been ejected, run:

npm install --save-dev --save-exact react-scripts@0.4.0

Breaking Change in 0.4.0

Paths like /src/somefile.png used to be served in development, but only by accident. They never worked in production builds. Since 0.4.0, we don’t serve static files by default in development anymore either. This removes a dangerous inconsistency that we never intentionally supported.

If you need a static file to be part for the build, import it from JavaScript and you will get its filename. This ensures it gets included into the production build as well, and its filename contains the content hash.

If you used static files with <link href>, read this new guide on how to make sure these files get included into the builds. For example, you can replace <link href="/src/favicons/favicon-32.png"> with <link href="./src/favicons/favicon-32.png">, and then Webpack will recognize it and include it into the build.

If you referenced some other files from index.html, please file an issue to discuss your use case. In the meantime, you can serve them from a separate static server until your use case is supported.

0.3.1 (September 2, 2016)

Build Dependency (react-scripts)

Migrating from 0.3.0 to 0.3.1

Inside any created project that has not been ejected, run:

npm install --save-dev --save-exact react-scripts@0.3.1

0.3.0 (September 1, 2016)

Build Dependency (react-scripts)

Global CLI (create-react-app)

  • You can now create a project in a folder that already contains an .idea folder, which is necessary for future WebStorm integration. (@denofevil in #522)

Migrating from 0.2.3 to 0.3.0

You may optionally update the global command (it’s not required):

npm install -g create-react-app@0.3.0

Inside any created project that has not been ejected, run:

npm install --save-dev --save-exact react-scripts@0.3.0

Breaking Change

Now favicon.ico is not treated specially anymore.
If you use it, move it to src and add the following line to <head> in your HTML:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="./src/favicon.ico">

New Feature

Since 0.3.0 added a test runner, we recommend that you add it to the scripts section of your package.json like this:

  // ...
  "scripts": {
    // ...
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom"
  }

Then read the testing guide to learn more about using it!

Newly created projects will use 0.2.3 automatically. You don’t need to update the global create-react-app CLI itself. It stays at 0.2.0 for now because it doesn’t have any changes.

Newly created projects will use 0.2.1 automatically. You don’t need to update the global create-react-app CLI itself. It stays at 0.2.0 for now because it doesn’t have any changes.
