Product updates

With this release we bring you better performance and a more up-to-date product. Contributor experience and release pipeline is also improved.

Major updates in Decap 3.1:

• Upgrade project to React 18
• Avoid unnecessary rerenders
• AWS Cognito Proxy for Github
• Migrate from moment to day.js
• Migrate from yarn to npm
• Migrate from lerna to nx
• Updated documentation

...plus many minor patches.

There are no breaking changes.

This changelog is a bit lacking because we are in the process of improving the release pipeline. With that we will also automate and improve the changelog.

The main feature of this release is the upgrade to React 18. This is a large change with potential side effects, so we decided to release a beta version.

We kindly invite everyone to test, especially Gatsby users, who were most eagerly awaiting this update. If you find any new issues, please report them as GitHub Issues.

Potential issues​

There was no beta phase as this is the first release, so there might be some issues that we didn't find. Please report them on GitHub.

Thanks to everyone in the community that waited patiently for so long. Thanks to all the contributors and other engaged users that helped us in this transition period. Thanks to Netlify for creating this amazing project and for letting us continue it.
