Today we're sending out React 15.6.2. In 15.6.1, we shipped a few fixes for change events and inputs that had some unintended consequences. Those regressions have been ironed out, and we've also included a few more fixes to improve the stability of React across all browsers.

Additionally, 15.6.2 adds support for the [`controlList`](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/03/chrome-58-media-updates#controlslist) attribute, and CSS columns are no longer appended with a `px` suffix.

## Installation

We recommend using [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) or [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) for managing front-end dependencies. If you're new to package managers, the [Yarn documentation](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/getting-started) is a good place to get started.

To install React with Yarn, run:

```bash
yarn add react@^15.6.2 react-dom@^15.6.2
```

To install React with npm, run:

```bash
npm install --save react@^15.6.2 react-dom@^15.6.2
```

We recommend using a bundler like [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) or [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) so you can write modular code and bundle it together into small packages to optimize load time.

Remember that by default, React runs extra checks and provides helpful warnings in development mode. When deploying your app, make sure to [use the production build](/docs/optimizing-performance.html#use-the-production-build).

In case you don't use a bundler, we also provide pre-built bundles in the npm packages which you can [include as script tags](/docs/installation.html#using-a-cdn) on your page:
