## [Changelog](https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#058)

---

Welcome to the January 2019 release of React Native. There are a number of significant changes in this version, and we'd like to especially call your attention to:

- [Modernizing](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/21581) and [stengthening flow types](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/22100) for core components
- Break changes to `ScrollView`, `CameraRollView`, and `SwipeableRow` that make it no longer bound to the component instance in certain methods
- Support for mutual TLS in WebKit
- Asset serving from directories besides `/assets`
- Numerous crash fixes and resolutions for unexpected behavior

Thanks to those who gave feedback on our release candidates. If you're interested in helping evaluate our next release, check you our tracking issue [here](data:,TODO%3A%20change%20this%20once%20the%20actual%20issue%20has%20been%20created).

### Added

- Add support for `publicPath` to enable serving static assets from different locations ([0b31496](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/0b31496) by [@gdborton](https://github.com/gdborton))

#### Android specific

- Bundler server host can now be set using Android System Properties, making for easier debugging across multiple apps or app installs `adb shell setprop metro.host` ([e02a154](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/e02a154) by [@stepanhruda](https://github.com/stepanhruda))
- Native Modules can now reject a promise with an additional `WritableMap` arg for extra properties (`userInfo`). See the interface defined in [`Promise.java`](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/60b3942389be508935589df41c2a7203922cc5a7/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/bridge/Promise.java) for available methods. This is accessible in JavaScript as `Error.userInfo`. This is to match iOS's existing `Error.userInfo` behaviour. See PR for examples. (#20940 by @Salakar)
- Native Modules now expose a `nativeStackAndroid` property to promises rejected with an Exception/Throwable - making native error stacks available inside Javascript: `Error.nativeStackAndroid`. This is to match iOS's existing `Error.nativeStackIOS` support. See PR for examples. (#20940 by @Salakar)

#### iOS specific

- Add `moduleForName: lazilyLoadIfNecessary` to **RCTBridge.h** to lookup modules by name and force load them, plus various improvements to LazyLoading ([d7a0c44](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/d7a0c44), [6534718](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/6534718), [d7865eb](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/d7865eb), [04ea976](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/04ea976), [1f394fa](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/1f394fa), [80f92ad](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/80f92ad), and [81b74ec](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/81b74ec) by [@dshahidehpour](https://github.com/dshahidehpour), [@fkgozali](https://github.com/fkgozali), and [@mmmulani](https://github.com/mmmulani))
- Add ability for **WebView** to `setClientAuthenticationCredential` when `useWebKit={true}` for mutual TLS authentication ([8911353](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/8911353) by [@mjhu](https://github.com/mjhu))

- fbjs-scripts dependency is now at v1.0.0 (#21880) ([cdbf719](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/cdbf719) by [@jmheik](https://github.com/jmheik))
- folly dependency is now at v2018.10.22.00 ([a316dc6](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/a316dc6), [19a7ecc](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/19a7ecc), and [a70625a](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/a70625a) by [@Kudo](https://github.com/Kudo) and [@radko93](https://github.com/radko93))

- Clearer error messages when hot reloading ([c787866](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/c787866) by [@alexkirsz](https://github.com/alexkirsz))
- Allow CxxModules to implement functions which take two callbacks ([8826d8b](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/8826d8b) by [@acoates-ms](https://github.com/acoates-ms))

#### Breaking Changes

- Public methods of components converted to ES6 classes are no longer bound to their component instance. For `ScrollView`, the affected methods are `setNativeProps`, `getScrollResponder`, `getScrollableNode`, `getInnerViewNode`, `scrollTo`, `scrollToEnd`, `scrollWithoutAnimationTo`, and `flashScrollIndicators`. For `CameraRollView`, the affected methods are: `rendererChanged`. For `SwipeableRow`, the affected methods are: `close`. Therefore, it is no longer safe to pass these method by reference as callbacks to functions. Auto-binding methods to component instances was a behaviour of `createReactClass` that we decided to not preserve when switching over to ES6 classes.

#### Android specific

- Optimize `PlatformConstants.ServerHost`, `PlatformConstants.isTesting`, and `PlatformConstants.androidID` for performance ([2bf0d54](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/2bf0d54), [339d9d3](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/339d9d3), and [9f9390d](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/9f9390d) by [@stepanhruda](https://github.com/stepanhruda), [@fkgozali](https://github.com/fkgozali), and [@axe-fb](https://github.com/axe-fb))

#### iOS specific

- Suppress yellow box about missing export for native modules ([5431607](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commit/5431607) by [@fkgozali](https://github.com/fkgozali))
