5.1 release plan

Storybook 5.1 Release Plan

It's that time again! Storybook 5.0 is stable and we've accumulated a load of great changes for 5.1:

  • React Native / RN Server
  • Addon-a11y upgrades
  • New addon: Addon-contexts
  • New Addons API
  • Typescript Migration
  • Svelte 3 Support

Not to mention countless features, tweaks, and bugfixes (full changelog).

Schedule

Now let's get this all shipped!! 🚀

  • 5.1.0-alpha.0: 2019-03-06
  • 5.1.0-beta.0: 2019-05-10
  • 5.1.0-rc.0: 2019-05-20 (est)
  • 🏁 5.1.0: 2019-06-03 (est)

NOTE: release dates are estimates, and can change depending on what critical bugs we discover along the way!

Help Wanted (Now!)

We need your help stabilizing Storybook 5.1 for the final release. It's in beta now because we think it's ready to use in most projects.

The biggest thing is to try upgrading your project to the latest prerelease, see if you run into problems, and file github isues. The sooner we uncover problems with the upgrade, the more time we have to fix and document them.

To upgrade your project with NPM:

npx npm-check-updates '/storybook/' -u && npm install

And if you use Yarn:

yarn upgrade-interactive --latest

We've also started to document migration instructions, and will continue to update the documentation throughout the release.

And of course, if you see any issues that you can help with, PRs are always welcome. Storybook wouldn't be possible without high-quality contributions from our wonderful community.

Thanks for your help and stay posted for more updates!

@benoitdion I think a11y and contexts are good to go. Addon API needs more documentation. RN seems like it's in the neighborhood of releasable, but I'm hoping you'll tell me whether you think it can go out in the next 3wks.

As for addon-contexts, I think there is one more thing I hope to add: making the addon runnable under iframe by URL param. This can unlock snapshot testing. (<- I remembered @ndelangen fixed for addon-knobs). PR merged.

If there are some breaking changes should it be 6.0, not 5.1 ?
