We've been shipping unprefixed experimental APIs (like `createRoot` and `useTransition`) to the Experimental release channel, with the rationale that because these APIs do not appear in any stable release, we're free to change or remove them later without breaking any downstream projects. What we didn't consider is that downstream projects might be tempted to use feature detection: ```js const useTransition = React.useTransition || fallbackUseTransition; ``` This pattern assumes that the version of `useTransition` that exists in the Experimental channel today has the same API contract as the final `useTransition` API that we'll eventually ship to stable. To discourage feature detection, I've added an `unstable_` prefix to all of our unstable APIs. The Facebook builds still have the unprefixed APIs, though. We will continue to support those; if we make any breaking changes, we'll migrate the internal callers like we usually do. To make testing easier, I added the `unstable_`-prefixed APIs to the www builds, too. That way our tests can always use the prefixed ones without gating on the release channel.
react-refresh
This package implements the wiring necessary to integrate Fast Refresh into bundlers. Fast Refresh is a feature that lets you edit React components in a running application without losing their state. It is similar to an old feature known as "hot reloading", but Fast Refresh is more reliable and officially supported by React.
This package is primarily aimed at developers of bundler plugins. If you’re working on one, here is a rough guide for Fast Refresh integration using this package.
