v4.0.0

Breaking Changes

React 0.14 is now required and a peer dependency

If you need 0.13 support, keep using 3.x. In addition, React has now been promoted to be a peer dependency because you’ll use the same react package for web and native.

react-redux/native entry point has been removed

Track this React Native issue and wait until RN works on top of React 0.14. Then React Redux 4.x should “just work” in React Native. Until then, you need to keep using 3.x with React Native.

<Provider> no longer accepts a function child

This resolves a ton of router-related issues and also helps beginners understand what's going on.

Before

React.render(
  <Provider>
    {() => <App />}
  </Provider>,
  rootEl
);

After

ReactDOM.render(
  <Provider>
    <App />
  </Provider>,
  rootEl
);

Refs are now opt-in

connect() no longer provides a ref to the wrapped component by default. You need to specify withRef: true in the options as the fourth argument to connect() to get the old behavior. getWrappedInstance() will throw unless you do that.

This fixes #141.

Before

class MyComponent extends Component { ... }
MyComponent = connect(mapStateToProps)(MyComponent);

// later
let instance = React.render(<MyComponent />, targetEl);
console.log(instance.getWrappedInstance());

After

class MyComponent extends Component { ... }
MyComponent = connect(mapStateToProps, null, null, { withRef: true })(MyComponent);

// later
let instance = ReactDOM.render(<MyComponent />, targetEl);
console.log(instance.getWrappedInstance());
