React Native April 2017 (v0.44.0) released

v0.44.3 on GitHub (npm)


This is April 2017 release, also known as v0.44.0.


General

Breaking change

Remove support for @provides

6cbb57d - @jetzhliu

If you were using @provides NameOfModule, you should now switch to @providesModule

Only call batchDidComplete when there were actually native calls dispatched

c8d922b - @astreet

This is breaking because it affects the contract for onBatchComplete, but modules really shouldn't (and probably aren't) depending on it being called without any actual native module method calls having happened.
