December 20, 2023 Release
Welcome to the last release of the year! After a year of work, we are happy to announce the GA release of React Aria Components ๐ This component library, built on top of our React Aria hooks, provides a simpler way to craft world-class accessible components with custom styles. See our new React Aria landing page for all of the details, including interactive examples. To help get you started even faster, we now also have a downloadable Storybook starter kit including an example CSS theme.
Also in this release we are promoting React Spectrum's DropZone to RC, adding the ability to optimize translation files, and fixing plenty of bugs.
As always, huge thanks to everyone in our community for their feedback and contributions to make this release and this year possible!
Happy coding and see you in the new year! โ๏ธ
React Aria Components API updates
In this release, we made a few last API updates to React Aria Components as they move along to GA.
- Temporarily removed nested column support in 
Tablesdue to instability. - Hover and Focus are now distinct states in 
ListBox. - Hover state has been added to column headers in tables when sorting is allowed.
 - All refs given to a component now go to their outer most element. If you need a ref to the input, you can attach it directly.
 - Styles for 
Popover,Tooltip, andOverlayArroware now merged in a different order to allow overriding our default styles. - Added a dependency array to help manage the item cache with columns in 
Tables.
