 ## `getDefaultProps`
 
 Starting in React 0.11, `getDefaultProps()` is called only once when `React.createClass()` is called, instead of each time a component is rendered. This means that `getDefaultProps()` can no longer vary its return value based on `this.props` and any objects will be shared across all instances. This change improves performance and will make it possible in the future to do PropTypes checks earlier in the rendering process, allowing us to give better error messages.

+title: React v0.11
+layout: post
+author: Paul O’Shannessy
+---
+
+We're really happy to announce the availability of React v0.11. There seems to be a lot of excitement already and we appreciate everybody who gave the release candidate a try over the weekend. We made a couple small changes in response to the feedback and issues filed. We enabled the destructuring assignment transform when using `jsx --harmony`, fixed a small regression with `statics`, and made sure we actually exposed the new API we said we were shipping: `React.Children.count`.
+
+
+This version has been cooking for a couple months now and includes a wide array of bug fixes and features. We highlighted some of the most important changes below, along with the full changelog.
+
+The release candidate is available for download from the CDN:
+
+* **React**  
+  Dev build with warnings: <http://fb.me/react-0.11.0.js>  
+  Minified build for production: <http://fb.me/react-0.11.0.min.js>  
+* **React with Add-Ons**  
+  Dev build with warnings: <http://fb.me/react-with-addons-0.11.0.js>  
+  Minified build for production: <http://fb.me/react-with-addons-0.11.0.min.js>  
+* **In-Browser JSX transformer**  
+  <http://fb.me/JSXTransformer-0.11.0.js>
+
+We've also published version `0.11.0` of the `react` and `react-tools` packages on npm and the `react` package on bower.

+## `getDefaultProps`
+
+Starting in React 0.11, `getDefaultProps()` is called only once when `React.createClass()` is called, instead of each time a component is rendered. This means that `getDefaultProps()` can no longer vary its return value based on `this.props` and any objects will be shared across all instances. This change improves performance and will make it possible in the future to do PropTypes checks earlier in the rendering process, allowing us to give better error messages.
+
+
+## Rendering to `null`
+
+Since React's release, people have been using work arounds to "render nothing". Usually this means returning an empty `<div/>` or `<span/>`. Some people even got clever and started returning `<noscript/>` to avoid extraneous DOM nodes. We finally provided a "blessed" solution that allows developers to writing meaningful code. Returning `null` in an explicit indication to React that you do not want anything rendered. Behind the scenes we make this work with a `<noscript>` element, though in the future we hope to not put anything in the document. In the mean time, `<noscript>` elements do not affect layout in any way, so you can feel safe using `null` today!
+
+```js
+// Before
+render: function() {
+  if (!this.state.visible) {
+    return <span/>;
+  }
+  // ...
+}
+
+// After
+render: function() {
+  if (!this.state.visible) {
+    return null;
+  }
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+
+## JSX Namespacing
+
+Another feature request we've been hearing for a long time is the ability to have namespaces in JSX. Given that JSX is just JavaScript, we didn't want to use XML namespacing. Instead we opted for a standard JS approach: object property access. Instead of assigning variables to access components stored in an object (such as a component library), you can now use the component directly as `<Namespace.Component/>`.
+
+```js
+// Before
+var UI = require('UI');
+var UILayout = UI.Layout;
+var UIButton = UI.Button;
+var UILabel = UI.Label;
+
+render: function() {
+  return <UILayout><UIButton /><UILabel>text</UILabel></UILayout>;
+}
+
+// After
+var UI = require('UI');
+
+render: function() {
+  return <UI.Layout><UI.Button /><UI.Label>text</UI.Label></UI.Layout>;
+}
+```
+
+
+## Improved keyboard event normalization
+
+Keyboard events now contain a normalized `e.key` value according to the [DOM Level 3 Events spec](http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#keys-special), allowing you to write simpler key handling code that works in all browsers, such as:
+
+```js
+handleKeyDown: function(e) {
+  if (e.key === 'Enter') {
+    // Handle enter key
+  } else if (e.key === ' ') {
+    // Handle spacebar
+  } else if (e.key === 'ArrowLeft') {
+    // Handle left arrow
+  }
+},
+```
+
+Keyboard and mouse events also now include a normalized `e.getModifierState()` that works consistently across browsers.
