• [x] Offer APIs to access more pointer events

Build System

• [x] Upgrade babel to v7
• [x] Remove manual binding of class methods

Other

• [ ] Improve testing

I would start using babel-runtime. Currently helpers are duplicated in every module.

@Pessimistress is there any busywork-type work that I can do to help move towards this release?

Hi, Does v4 support react below v16? I tried using v4.0.0-beta.3 and got _react.createContext error. My react version is 15.6.1

[tstirrat15]

@archansel No. One of the goals of v4 is to move towards the new React context API (released in v16.3), which is incompatible with the old API.

4.0.0 is published!

@Pessimistress Where is tag and changelog?

[Pessimistress]

@archansel Some of the v15 API that v3 was using will be removed in the next major release of React. Although unfortunate, when we have to choose, we'd like the latest react-map-gl to support 17 rather than 15.
