5.0.1 (2022-04-12)

Create React App 5.0.1 is a maintenance release that improves compatibility with React 18. We've also updated our templates to use createRoot and relaxed our check for older versions of Create React App.

Inside any created project that has not been ejected, run:

npm install --save --save-exact react-scripts@5.0.1

or

yarn add --exact react-scripts@5.0.1
