New York has released more details into who has tested positive for the coronavirus in the state, and Governor Andrew Cuomo said the per cent of healthcare workers with Covid-19 is not higher than the general public.“That is amazingly good news,” Mr Cuomo said during his press briefing on Thursday.

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday that he had signed an executive order to mail ballots to the state’s 20.6 million registered voters, citing potential health risks due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.“There’s a lot of excitement around this November’s election in terms of making sure that you can conduct yourself in a safe way, and make sure your health is protected,” Newsom said Friday. In March, the state allowed ballots to be mailed in for its primary, which saw a record-high of 72 percent of all ballots that were cast by mail.California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, who heads the state’s elections, commended the move “It’s great for public health, it’s great for voting rights, it’s going to be great for participation,” he said. California already allows for generous absentee voting, passing a 2002 decision which gives voters the option to request permanent voting by mail, regardless of the reason.While Newsom’s decision applies only to the November election, it could set a precedent for other Democratic states, with voting by mail quickly becoming a partisan issue. It comes after the state’s lawmakers and local officials requested the measure, saying coronavirus will severely hamper voting efforts, a complaint echoed by prominent Democrats.“Why should we be saying to people, ‘Stand in line for hours,’ when we don’t even want you leaving the house?” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in April. But President Trump has repeatedly slammed calls for mail-in voting, saying last month that it lets “people cheat” and involves “a lot of dishonesty.”Newsom said that his order would still allow an “appropriate number” of in-person voting sites, saying that some voters, including those that are disabled, require technological help to cast a ballot.

At his daily press conference on Friday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he feels like, for the first time, the state is “ahead” of the coronavirus because of efforts made to control the outbreak.

We are excited to announce a new release of the React Developer Tools, available today in Chrome, Firefox, and (Chromium) Edge!

What’s changed?

A lot has changed in version 4! At a high level, this new version should offer significant performance gains and an improved navigation experience. It also offers full support for React Hooks, including inspecting nested objects.

Visit the interactive tutorial to try out the new version or see the changelog for demo videos and more details.

Which versions of React are supported?

react-dom

• 0-14.x: Not supported
• 15.x: Supported (except for the new component filters feature)
• 16.x: Supported

react-native

• 0-0.61: Not supported
• 0.62: Will be supported (when 0.62 is released)

How do I get the new DevTools?

React DevTools is available as an extension for Chrome and Firefox. If you have already installed the extension, it should update automatically within the next couple of hours.

If you use the standalone shell (e.g. in React Native or Safari), you can install the new version from NPM:

npm install -g react-devtools@^4

Where did all of the DOM elements go?

The new DevTools provides a way to filter components from the tree to make it easier to navigate deeply nested hierarchies. Host nodes (e.g. HTML <div>, React Native <View>) are hidden by default, but this filter can be disabled:

How do I get the old version back?

If you are working with React Native version 60 (or older) you can install the previous release of DevTools from NPM:

npm install --dev react-devtools@^3

For older versions of React DOM (v0.14 or earlier) you will need to build the extension from source:

# Checkout the extension source
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-devtools

cd react-devtools

# Checkout the previous release branch
git checkout v3

# Install dependencies and build the unpacked extension
yarn install
yarn build:extension

# Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation

Thank you!

We’d like to thank everyone who tested the early release of DevTools version 4. Your feedback helped improve this initial release significantly.

We still have many exciting features planned and feedback is always welcome! Please feel free to open a GitHub issue or tag @reactjs on Twitter.

Firms will be able to borrow up to £50,000, which will be interest free for the first year.
