Naming

• “Stateless Stores” are now called reducers. (#137 (comment))
• The “Redux instance” is now called “The Store”. (#137 (comment))
• The dispatcher is removed completely. (#166 (comment))

API changes

• composeStores is now composeReducers.
• createDispatcher is gone.
• createRedux is now createStore.
• <Provider> now accepts store prop instead of redux.
• The new createStore signature is createStore(reducer: Function | Object, initialState: any, middlewares: Array | ({ getState, dispatch }) => Array).
• If the first argument to createStore is an object, composeReducers is automatically applied to it.
• The “smart” middleware signature changed. It now accepts an object instead of a single getState function. The dispatch function lets you “recurse” the middleware chain and is useful for async: #113 (comment).

Correctness changes

• The dispatch provided by the default thunk middleware now walks the whole middleware chain.
• It is enforced now that raw Actions at the end of the middleware chain have to be plain objects.
• Nested dispatches are now handled gracefully. (#110, #119)

Internal changes

• The object in React context is renamed from redux to store.
• Some tests are rewritten for clarity, focus and edge cases.
• Redux in examples is now aliased to the source code for easier work on master.
