react

The lifecycle methods componentDidMount and componentDidUpdate no longer receive the root node as a parameter; use this.getDOMNode() instead
Whenever a prop is equal to undefined, the default value returned by getDefaultProps will now be used instead
React.unmountAndReleaseReactRootNode was previously deprecated and has now been removed
React.renderComponentToString is now synchronous and returns the generated HTML string
Full-page rendering (that is, rendering the <html> tag using React) is now supported only when starting with server-rendered markup
On mouse wheel events, deltaY is no longer negated
When prop types validation fails, a warning is logged instead of an error thrown (with the production build of React, type checks are now skipped for performance)
On input, select, and textarea elements, .getValue() is no longer supported; use .getDOMNode().value instead
this.context on components is now reserved for internal use by React

Bug Fixes

React no longer adds an __owner__ property to each component's props object; passed-in props are now never mutated

CSS property values no longer have px appended for the unitless properties columnCount, flex, flexGrow, flexShrink, lineClamp, order, widows
Fixed a memory leak when unmounting children with a componentWillUnmount handler
Fixed a memory leak when renderComponentToString would store event handlers
Fixed an error that could be thrown when removing form elements during a click handler
Boolean attributes such as disabled are rendered without a value (previously disabled="true", now simply disabled)

Event handlers are attached to document only when necessary, improving performance in some cases
