 ## Tooling Support
 
-React Hooks are now fully supported by React DevTools. They are also supported in the latest Flow and TypeScript definitions for React. We recommend using a new [lint rule](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-hooks) to enforce best practices with Hooks. It will soon be included into Create React App by default.
+React Hooks are now fully supported by React DevTools. They are also supported in the latest Flow and TypeScript definitions for React. We strongly recommend enabling a new [lint rule called `eslint-plugin-react-hooks`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-hooks) to enforce best practices with Hooks. It will soon be included into Create React App by default.
 
 ## What's Next
 
 We described our plan for the next months in the recently published [React Roadmap](/blog/2018/11/27/react-16-roadmap.html).
 
 Note that React Hooks don't cover *all* use cases for classes yet but they're [very close](/docs/hooks-faq.html#do-hooks-cover-all-use-cases-for-classes). Currently, only `getSnapshotBeforeUpdate()` and `componentDidCatch()` methods don't have equivalent Hooks APIs, and these lifecycles are relatively uncommon. If you want, you should be able to use Hooks in most of the new code you're writing.
 
-Even while Hooks were in alpha, we saw many [interesting examples](https://medium.com/@drcmda/hooks-in-react-spring-a-tutorial-c6c436ad7ee4) of custom Hooks for animations, forms, subscriptions, integrating with other libraries, and so on. Our goal is to empower the React community to write components and Hooks that deliver great user and developer experience. We can't wait to see what you'll create next!

We're excited about Hooks because they make code reuse easier, helping you write your components in a simpler way and make great user experiences. We can't wait to see what you'll create next!
 
 ## Thanks
 
 We'd like to thank everybody who commented on the [Hooks RFC](https://github.com/reactjs/rfcs/pull/68) for sharing their feedback. We've read all of your comments and made some adjustments to the final API based on them.
 
+## Breaking Changes from Alpha Versions
+
+React 16.8.0 is the first **stable** release supporting Hooks.
+
+Over the past few months, we have also provided several **alpha** versions for community feedback: `16.7.0-alpha.0`, `16.7.0-alpha.1`, `16.7.0-alpha.2`, and `16.8.0-alpha.0`.
+
+**We don't recommend depending on alphas in production code.** We publish them so we can make breaking changes in response to community feedback before the API is stable.
+
+Here is a list of all breaking changes to Hooks between the first alpha and the stable release:
+
+* Remove `useMutationEffect`. ([@sophiebits](https://github.com/sophiebits) in [#14336](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14336))
+* Rename `useImperativeMethods` to `useImperativeHandle`. ([@threepointone](https://github.com/threepointone) in [#14565](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14565))
+* Bail out of rendering on identical values for `useState` and `useReducer` Hooks. ([@acdlite](https://github.com/acdlite) in [#14569](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14569))
+* Don’t compare the first argument passed to `useEffect`/`useMemo`/`useCallback` Hooks. ([@acdlite](https://github.com/acdlite) in [#14594](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14594))
+* Render components with Hooks twice in Strict Mode (DEV-only). ([@gaearon](https://github.com/gaearon) in [#14654](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14654))
+* Improve the `useReducer` Hook lazy initialization API. ([@acdlite](https://github.com/acdlite) in [#14723](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/14723))

+>If you're using Create React App, instead of manually configuring ESLint you can wait for the next version of `react-scripts` which will come out shortly and will include this rule.
+
+Assuming you already have ESLint installed, run:
+
+```sh
+# npm
+npm install eslint-plugin-react-hooks@next --save-dev
+
+# yarn
+yarn add eslint-plugin-react-hooks@next --dev
+```
