react/packages/eslint-plugin-react-hooks/CHANGELOG.md

7.0.0

This release slims down presets to just 2 configurations (recommended and recommended-latest), and all compiler rules are enabled by default.

• Breaking: Removed recommended-latest-legacy and flat/recommended configs. The plugin now provides recommended (legacy and flat configs with all recommended rules), and recommended-latest (legacy and flat configs with all recommended rules plus new bleeding edge experimental compiler rules). (@poteto in #34757)

6.1.1

Note: 6.1.0 accidentally allowed use of recommended without flat config, causing errors when used with ESLint v9's defineConfig() helper. This has been fixed in 6.1.1.

• Fix recommended config for flat config compatibility. The recommended config has been converted to flat config format. Non-flat config users should use recommended-legacy instead. (@poteto in #34700)
• Add recommended-latest and recommended-latest-legacy configs that include React Compiler rules. (@poteto in #34675)
• Remove unused NoUnusedOptOutDirectives rule. (@poteto in #34703)
• Remove hermes-parser and dependency. (@poteto in #34719)
• Remove @babel/plugin-proposal-private-methods dependency. (@ArnaudBarre and @josephsavona in #34715)
• Update for Zod v3/v4 compatibility. (@kolian and @josephsavona in #34717)
