release 0.14

[zpao]

We're still a little ways away from this but starting the list before we lose track. This is less big picture like #3220 and more about the longer tail of work.

Misc

• Remove react-tools, JSXTransformer mentions from docs
• Update react-tutorial repo to use babel/browser
• Polish readme for react, react-dom
• Update fb.me scripts to exclude JSXTransformer
• Update to node v4 for development (will be better moving forward with stable branch maintenance)
• Update cdnjs, jsdelivr autoupdaters to account for Build ReactDOM browser builds into react-dom/dist #4901

Documentation Changes

• Updates for refs, stateless function components (Documentation for stateless functions/components, condensed two pages about refs into one #4964)
• Update for desired API usage (eg React.render() → ReactDOM.render()) (React -> ReactDOM for render() and findDOMNode()  #5055)

Final Steps

• create 0.14-stable branch
• shrinkwrap
• actually publish to all the places
• update jsfiddles
  • base
  • thinking in react
• Update changelog.md
• make sure master branch has all documentation changes made in 0.14-stable
• update react-tutorial repo with final changes

Why are react-tools being removed? Is the JSXTransformer being deprecated or something?

[JohnyDays]

@activatedgeek Yes, in favor of babel

[activatedgeek]

Ohh, I'm using a webpack build system. Will I just need to change the loader to babel ?

[dashed]

@activatedgeek yeah. should be painless. https://github.com/babel/babel-loader

[activatedgeek]

Great! Thanks!

Is there any other status updates or burn down for this?

[zpao]

https://github.com/facebook/react/milestones/0.14 is what I've been looking at. We don't have issues for updating docs.

[dcousens]

@zpao is this issue a double up of #3220? Or?

facepalm

Sorry, thanks.

Good morning! Are there tasks left for the React 0.14 release that external developers could pick up and help on, or is the remaining work on 0.14 all documentation / release stuff?

[zpao]

I think at this point we just have some docs and the final release steps. Thanks for the offer though! Feel free to jump into anything else you find.

[iamdustan]

Having been using 0.14 since the beta, updating packages for ReactDOM.render, removing react 0.13 peerDeps, and react/addons have been the biggest pain points I’ve experienced.

@blixt opening PRs to any react components or tooling that you use or see to help the community move forwards would be superbly helpful.

[dcousens]

@iamdustan what replaced react/addons?

[zpao]

react-addons-specific-package. It's not mentioned super loudly in http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/09/10/react-v0.14-rc1.html, but it's there.

[iamdustan]

Each addon is its own package. Technically I think for 0.14 it's still bundled for a deprecation cycle.
