+title: ReasonReact is back (Melange from now on)
+---
+
+Since the ReScript project diverged from ReasonML and moved ReasonReact into `@rescript/react`, ReasonReact has been in limbo. While this happened, the Melange team released the first major release of [Melange](https://buttondown.email/anmonteiro/archive/melange-hits-v10/) and made the first steps towards a deeper integration with the OCaml ecosystem.
+
+We are happy to announce that ReasonReact is back and will be maintained and developed by the Melange team.
+
+## What does this mean
+
+We released ReasonReact to the [opam registry](https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/reason-react) and be installed with opam or esy if you prefer (even though Melange team recommends using opam).
+
+We updated the documentation to reflect these new changes and we will continue to improve it.
+
+## Changes
+
+The previous version published in npm compatible with ReScript is 0.9.0. Between 0.9.0 and 0.11.0, we've fixed a few things:
+
+- [0.9.2] Add drag event API binding
+- [0.9.2] Add `aria-haspopup` as ariaHaspopup as prop
+- [0.9.2] Add `aria-current` as ariaCurrent as prop
+- [0.9.2] Add `aria-checked` as ariaChecked as prop
+- [0.10.0] Deprecate legacy modules (ReasonReact, ReasonReactCompat, ReasonReactOptimizedCreateClass)
+
+### Version 0.11
+
+- [0.11.0] Add suppressHydrationWarning
+- [0.11.0] Created opam package (reason-react.opam)
+- [0.11.0] Requires dune 3.8.0 (via dune-project)
+- [0.11.0] Full migration to Melange
+
+## Migration
+
+First make sure your project builds with Melange, once this is done, you can follow the migration guide:
+
+- Install latest version of ReasonReact: `opam install reason-react`
+- Use this as a package in the dune file `(libraries reason-react)` (make sure to add `react-jsx-ppx` on the pps as well).
+- Remove usages of modules `ReactDOMRe`, `ReactEventRe`, `ReasonReact`, `ReasonReactCompat`, `ReasonReactOptimizedCreateClass`. They were deprecated a long time ago, but we removed them in this version. There should be a 1:1 mapping between the old modules and the new ones.
+
+## Future
+
+We started moving all ReasonReact related packages to Melange and 0.11 and want to make sure the ReasonML community can update the 3rd party libraries to use Melange as well.
+
+Some of them are published in [github.com/melange-community](https://github.com/melange-community/) or [github.com/ahrefs](https://github.com/ahrefs) such as [https://github.com/ahrefs/melange-react-dates](melange-react-dates) or [melange-recharts](https://github.com/ahrefs/melange-recharts).
+
+There's a lot of work to do for 0.12 work, but we are excited to continue to improve ReasonReact and make it a great library for the Melange and ReasonML community.
+
+- Bring reacjs-jsx-ppx into this repository
+- Use the JSX transformation from React 17
+- Fix code-generation locations for JSX and props
+- A bunch of documentation work
