Release Notes

It's been a while since the last release, so this has been a bit of a housekeeping release focused on landing outstanding PRs and resolving a few of the simpler issues that have been reported.

I'm aware there are some outstanding issues with React 18 that require some deeper investigation and these will be tackled in a future release.

Special thanks to @levino for putting a test framework in place and adding our first test. We would welcome PRs with additional tests to improve the resilience of the library!

New Features

• [auth] useCollection and useDocument now supports an optional initialValue option which sets the default value for hooks. This had been missed in the upgrade from v3 to v4 - thanks to @mauriceackel and @dylanwatsonsoftware

Bug fixes
