Migrating to v1

    React Bootstrap v1 adds full compatibility with Bootstrap 4. Because bootstrap 4 is a major rewrite of the project there are significant breaking changes from the pre v1 react-bootstrap.

    Versioning

    We will continue to provide general maintainance for Bootstrap 3 components, because there are many projects that continue to depend on Bootstrap 3 support in react-bootstrap. react-bootstrap package versions will be as follows:

    • Bootstrap 3 support will continue in react-bootstrap versions < v1.0.0
    • Bootstrap 4 support will be in react-bootstrap versions >= v1.0.0

    We are not committing to keeping breaking changes in lockstep with bootstraps major releases, there may be a react-bootstrap v2 targeting Bootstrap v4 depending on what's best for the project.
