Thanks to everyone who contributed and helped to get this together, everyone worked really hard and we hope you are as excited as we are 🤗
Some of the major changes that this version brings:
Flipper support
a new LogBox experience
better dark mode support
Among many others - please refer to the blog post for more details.
This release comes in the midst of a global pandemic. We’re releasing this version today to respect the work of hundreds of contributors who made this release possible and to prevent the release from falling too far behind master. You can participate in the conversation on the status of this release at this issue, but please be mindful of the reduced capacity of contributors to help with issues and prepare to delay upgrading if necessary.
You can upgrade to this version using the upgrade helper webtool ⚛️
And if you are having troubles, please refer to the new Upgrade Support repository by our awesome community.
You can find the whole changelog history over at react-native-releases.
v0.62.0-rc.5
THIS IS A RELEASE CANDIDATE: this means it's not stable yet, so proceed with care.
Please only upgrade or create new apps with 0.62.0-rc.5 if you'd like to help us test this before the stable release - which would be super useful 🤗
To test it, run:
npx react-native init RN062 --version 0.62.0-rc.5
This version introduces the new LogBox experience behind a feature flag. To try it out, add the following to your index.js file:
require('react-native').unstable_enableLogBox()
This version also introduces Flipper integration and support for a new version of Hermes (0.4.0). For details and to report issues, see this issue.
This release will be quite massive (there are around 1200 commits of delta between this version and 0.61!) so we don't have the changelog ready yet (draft PR) - it will be fully ready for when we will publish 0.62.0.
React Native follows a monthly release train. Every month, a new branch created off master enters the Release Candidate phase, and the previous Release Candidate branch is released and considered stable.

How to cut a new release branch
Prerequisites
The following are required for the local test suite to run:
Before cutting a release branch, make sure Circle CI system is green.
Before executing the following script, make sure you have:
An Android emulator / Genymotion device running
No packager running in any of the projects
./scripts/test-manual-e2e.sh
This script bundles a react-native package locally and passes it to the react-native cli that creates a test project inside /tmp folder using that version.
After npm install completes, the script prints a set of manual checks you have to do to ensure the release you are preparing is working as expected on both platforms.
