React v17.0.0 is now available. Unlike previous releases, the new version doesn't come with any new developer-facing features, but rather improvements making it easier to upgrade React. As a result, it will now be possible to upgrade your app to future React versions either all at one, or piece by piece.
More:
- To enable gradual upgrades, React changed how React attaches events to the DOM under the hood. Event handlers will be attached to the root DOM container into which a React tree is rendered.
