Releases: microsoft/react-native-windows
React Native Windows 0.73.1
We're excited to release React Native Windows 0.73.1 targeting React Native 0.73.0. There have been many changes to both react-native-windows and react-native itself, and we would love your feedback on anything that doesn't work as expected. This release includes the commits to React Native Windows from 6/23/2023 – 10/12/2023.
Note: 0.73.0 was accidentally released early to npm, 0.73.1 is our official release that matches React Native 0.73.0
