Likely to cause new Flow errors:

• React$ElementRef is now implemented with a conditional type instead of a builtin Flow utility type. You might see new errors with generic React$ElementRef. Most of the times, you should replace React.ElementRef<T> with just T if there are no other uses of generic T.
• We've increased safety in checks involving recursive types.

New Features:

• You can now set multiple @flowtyped like directories via module.declaration_dirnames config. e.g.

module.declaration_dirnames=<PROJECT_ROOT>/decl1
module.declaration_dirnames=<PROJECT_ROOT>/decl2

Please note that when you set this, @flowtyped at the root will no longer be considered special, and you will need to explicitly add it like

module.declaration_dirnames=<PROJECT_ROOT>/@flowtyped

Notable bug fixes:

• A generic type as input to conditional type will have type parameters pinned with their default or upper bound, instead of being empty.
• We fixed a cache collision issue that might cause instantiation of a value-imported generic component type to interfere with a typeof-imported generic component type.

IDE:

• Flow now respects includeDeclaration from LSP request for find-references command. In practice, this means that "find all references" in vscode will continue to return both declaration and all uses, while "go to references" will exclude the declaration.
