0.57.5 Discussion

[kelset]

Conversation on this thread are limited to 0.57.5 release's major issues and backport (cherry-pick) requests from commits that are already on master - so that we can then produce a 0.57.6 release in the near future.

An example of a good such request is a bug fix for a serious issue that has been merged into master but did not make the 0.57.5 cut.

In other words, if you cannot point to a particular commit on master, then your request likely belongs as a new issue in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues.

If the commit you request to cherry pick is a complicated port, you will be asked to create the PR to the 0.57-stable branch yourself, in order to ensure that the process proceeds smoothly.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I'm starting to consider creating the next release.

Aside from those, I'll probably reverse facebook/react-native@ce09d6e given that it causes crashes in production.

[radeno]

My two cents:

• Fix React Native AsyncMode and DevTools. facebook/react-native@aacb06c
• Fix compatibility issue for android 16 device. facebook/react-native@5939d07
• Remove unused loads from xplat. facebook/react-native@9b781bd
• Fix crash when releasing RN views facebook/react-native@83405ff
• CxxReact: Silence 'unused lambda capture' warnings in open-source facebook/react-native@0c05409
• Remove useless additionnal blur call facebook/react-native@27cfba2
• Resolve two gradle deprecation warnings facebook/react-native@4514041

@kelset about crashing of <Image> component we don't have any issues. But we we use only for local images, for remote <FastImage>
What about Jest/Flow/Metro, there are still issues what was discussed in previous version topic?

Hi @kelset, inverted flat list fix on android 9 should be landed in this release because it's really critical, I think. it breaks every app that has a chat ability. but new 58 release because of fabric and etc may contain some new bugs (it's ok).

[watadarkstar]

Not sure if we can still cherry pick at this point but I'd really like as mentioned by @terrysahaidak but with a link to the commit:

• Fix inverted ScrollViews on Android P facebook/react-native@b971c5b

[radeno]

@watadarkstar already requested #64 (comment) make thumb up :)

[watadarkstar]

Done 👍 didn't see that @radeno

• Fix inability to remove 'Disabled' state from AccessibilityStates facebook/react-native@5eaa2d2. (it went straight to 0.58.0-rc.0, but would be important to also have it on 0.57)

[kelset]

Thanks everyone for the requests, I'll try now to apply them and we'll see how it goes...

[kelset]

Update: I've managed to cherry-pick and test locally ✅ this list of commits:

• Generate ip.txt before SKIP_BUNDLING check
• Fix inability to remove 'Disabled' state from AccessibilityStates
• Add iOS 12 textContentType options
• Improving Modal visible prop check to handle undefined and null
• Fix IllegalArgumentException when dismissing ReactModalHostView
• NetInfo: try to solve crash with releasing _firstTimeReachability
• Android: Close websocket properly when remote server initiates close
• Fix regression in StyleSheet.setStyleAttributePreprocessor
• Fix crash when releasing RN views
• Fixed HTTP connection timeout on Android
• Workaround a wrong fling direction for inverted ScrollViews on Android P
• Fix React Native AsyncMode and DevTools
• resizeMode applies to Image.defaultSource
• CxxReact: Silence 'unused lambda capture' warnings in open-source
• Remove useless additionnal blur call
• iOS: Support inline view truncation

I've also reverted the commit about iOS Image optimization, and merged a PR directly to the branch that fixes an issue with HMR (facebook/react-native#22412).

I haven't cherry picked because they were causing conflicts:

• Remove unused loads from xplat.
• Fix compatibility issue for android 16 device
• Resolve two gradle deprecation warnings

I will not cherry pick updates for Flow/Metro/Jest because we agreed to try and keep as upgrade-free as possible the patch releases. And jest 24 is still in alpha.

Once the CI is green I'll proceed to create the version.

[kelset]

0.57.6 is out, all my tests are ✅ so I'll proceed with closing this and opening the new one. Changelog will land soon.
