We review the release of React Native 0.62, the different features and why these may (or may not) impact your life, workflow, and overall happiness.  We also dig into the change log, jump into some Git goodness and stress the continued Legitimization [drink!] of React Native and gush all over how great it is becoming. 

Advisory: You may need a box of tissues for this one folks.
