Summary
React Native version 0.76 is a major update that introduces several new features and changes, including the New Architecture by default, which is a significant rewrite of the framework's internals designed for improved performance and stability. It also introduces React Native DevTools, a browser-based debugging tool that provides a more unified and comprehensive development experience. Other notable changes include faster Metro resolution, which accelerates module loading, and new style props for boxShadow and filter, allowing for more advanced styling.
