React Native v0.25.1 released


Brace yourself, Winter _might not_ be coming for at least [ten more days](http://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones), but Universal Windows Platform apps _are_.

During the second day of Facebook's [F8 2016](https://www.fbf8.com/) was announced that Microsoft has joined forces on React Native, bringing it to the Universal Windows Platform.  
This simply means that React Native apps will be running on Windows Desktop, Xbox and Windows Phone (and even HoloLens!).

Can't help yourself and want to see a demo right away?  
Watch Christopher Chedeau unveling it at Facebook's Open Source booth.

Are you ready to hear more? Well, the project is already available as a fork (for now?) on GitHub.

React Native on the Universal Windows Platform


If you guessed that [F8 2016](https://www.fbf8.com/)'s app was built with  
React Native, Redux, Relay, GraphQL and Parse by a single developer, then you were right (and probably you should start playing Powerball).

[Alex Kotliarskyi](https://twitter.com/alex_frantic) did just that, and you can both check the out on Google Play and App Store and browse its source code today!

## [v0.24.0](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases/tag/v0.24.0) on GitHub ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native))

---

Docs here: [https://facebook.github.io/react-native/releases/0.24/docs/getting-started.html](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/releases/0.24/docs/getting-started.html).

This release includes a series of improvements for coalescing touch and scroll events on iOS by Martin Kralik ([@majak](https://github.com/majak)). These improvements fixed a bug that was preventing some native touch events from being dispatched to JS. This also improves the perceived performance of components that rely on these touch events, like parallax scrollers. Thanks, Martin! 👏🏻

#### Known issues we’re fixing

- RefreshControl broken on iOS: [#6929](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/6929) (fix: [03c1688](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/03c1688ce6fa5a6a77b25a19c1dda1a1fe62bcc3))
- Hot module reloading raises an error: [#6798](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/6798)
- `response.json()` hangs when Chrome debugging is enabled: [#6679](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/6679)
- Unable to require images under `node_modules`: [#6638](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/6638)

  - Use the same type of animation (spring) in NavigationCardStack and NavigationAnimatedView: [07697d1](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/07697d15cc7ca53b86635b0c8c372d997c50c4d3)
  - Reduce extra rendering in NavigationHeader: [62e80a6](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/62e80a600ead2cdf02eb2c0be30171014d91e8d7)

- Experimental WindowedListView, which uses a placeholder spacer view for off-screen rows. It is not a drop-in replacement for ListView: [cd79e26](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/cd79e269dc1aa17d911605ec78a4603b9e2f5e4c)

#### Android

##### New features

- 🎉 Preliminary support for delegating Animated commands to the native UI thread. Credit goes to [@kmagiera](https://github.com/kmagiera) for the design and implementation, [@brentvatne](https://github.com/brentvatne) for experimentation and critical feedback, and [@astreet](https://github.com/astreet) and [@vjeux](https://github.com/vjeux) for a thorough code review. The implementation is not complete but will eventually unblock Navigation animations from other heavy work on the JS thread: [#6466](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/6466)
- Modal now warns if you don't provide the `onRequestClose` prop: [ce81f8b](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/ce81f8b35af8d273072583d369594d4f5fd6d696)

- DrawerLayoutAndroid has a new `statusBackBackgroundColor` prop, which tells it to draw over the native Android toolbar. See the screenshots in the PR: [#6218](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/6218)
- ScrollView has a new `endFillColor` prop, which tells React Native to fill in the rest of the scroll view with a color in the event that the scroll view's viewport is larger than its content. This is an advanced performance optimization to reduce overdraw; measure performance before you use it: [4498bc8](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/4498bc819730e3c513750a04d705883f1d61816d)
- TextInput supports the 'selectTextOnFocus' prop now: [#6654](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/6654)
- Start creating views before the end of a batch for performance: [6a3b334](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/6a3b334139d528cef075555d3ebbe8a1a5ec92c5)

- Returning true from a BackAndroid `hardwareBackPress` handler stops invocation of previously registered handlers and the default OS action: [67efe4c](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/67efe4c1a932ac6acd20caf497df6978c1b52c90) (reverted in [ede99ee](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/ede99eeaddea990e76b1d37fc1f471a71576f7ed))
- Slider component is available: [afe78f6](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/afe78f6935f4d1672c3ed51522fdf2b2feac71c5)

##### Bug fixes

- Fix clipping rectangle calculation for nested scroll views: [e8e3182](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/e8e31823b9bde22eb348fd828d6e5b38a5371833)
- Don't strip `NativeRunnable` constructor with ProGuard: [393890e](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/393890e00f0c8455678eedd2aa7341d0d727aade)
- Fix fetching source maps in Genymotion: [6c22a21](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/6c22a2174e733d536a12f47a2da4f84329ac3023)
- Prevent a parent view’s touched state from applying to its children when nesting TouchableNativeFeedback components: [#6783](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/6783)

#### iOS

##### New features

- Open-source `FBPortForwarding`, which proxies network requests from a device to your computer like `adb reverse`. It is not integrated with React Native, but the code is here if you want this feature: [`FBPortForwarding`](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tree/c4699d8b739c2b22017f8d88a3143bac48e3a2fa/Tools/FBPortForwarding): [c4699d8](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/c4699d8b739c2b22017f8d88a3143bac48e3a2fa)
- ActionSheetIOS has a new `message` option: [#6685](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/6685)

##### Bug fixes

- 🎉 Fix how native events are coalesced when sending them to JS, specifically touch and scroll events, in order to respect their ordering ([#5246 (comment)](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/5246#issuecomment-198326673)). When all events can be coalesced, they are processed ASAP instead of waiting for the next JS frame. Several diffs from [@majak](https://github.com/majak): [a496baa](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/a496baa68c22965b19540954adaa97a1365a1e7e), [a37075d](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/a37075dcecc24d5178c4fb352449d360feb57222), [cefc5a6](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/cefc5a66f2e4971cbcad25b3b2a31422971909b1), [7c2b397](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/7c2b397b004571620847d3636fe7ff98ba32e700), [b1b53aa](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/b1b53aad8b75afd6fd18276671a8d5cea572fcc2), [1d3db4c](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/1d3db4c5dc8763d16f2d051fdf04a2976c0fb154) (reverted in [144dc30](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/144dc3066144a48fc13bb7832abc9e645024fb88) , reinstated with a fix in [02b6e38](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/02b6e38bee04bb9a4619ce0dac2a8db34656b060) ), [31bb85a](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/31bb85a210e8a6edba4f59df6eb36ccc5cc58d9e)

- Make SliderIOS retain its touch responder status: [52ddfd9](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/52ddfd9b51cbaa05176efc8c9dfa7b581be01a97)


React Native v0.24.0 released


Last month, at [React.js Conf 2016](http://conf.reactjs.com/), [Andres Suarez](https://twitter.com/zertosh) showed us the true power of Nuclide applied to React Native.  
This news came as a [long awaited](https://github.com/facebook/nuclide/issues/211#issuecomment-191499124) response for those who were eagerly waiting for React Native's support.

If you didn't watch his lightning talk yet, then you might have missed some of the [great features](http://nuclide.io/docs/platforms/react-native/) that are bundled into this tool.  
Even if you didn't test it yet, [chances are](http://blog.atom.io/2016/03/28/atom-reaches-1m-users.html) you'll be able to get it with very little work since Nuclide is a [package](https://atom.io/packages/nuclide) completely built on top of [Atom](https://atom.io/).

## [Nuclide - Unified IDE](http://nuclide.io/docs/platforms/react-native/)

> Nuclide is built as a single package on top of Atom to provide hackability and the support of an active community. It provides a first-class development environment for React Native, Hack and Flow projects.
