    💥 BREAKING CHANGES

    • core: Method push will now handle arguments just like Array.prototype.push. Certain existing methods will now return ObservableArray instance instead. Callback arguments that contained an array argument themselves will now contain an ObservableArray argument.
    • android: Exposes language and region values from android system configuration. If you were working around locale handling because this wasn't originally the case you can likely remove extra conditions as this should reflect more accurately now.
    • ios: tapData.getX() and tapData.getY() will now return correctly in DIP, so any extra conversions (like calling toDevicePixels) twice must be changed.
    • core: When using navigatingToEvent event.entry, the backstackEntry object is now returned which has an entry property on it if you still need it.
