+
+I'm happy to announce the release of ReactJS.NET 2.4! The main change in this release is upgrading the ASP.NET 5 (or "ASP.NET Core" as it's now called) integration from RC1 to RC2. Some other minor changes are also included. Changes in this release:
+
+ - [#271](https://github.com/reactjs/React.NET/pull/271) - Upgrade to ASP.NET Core RC2. *Thanks to [Shiki Byakko](https://github.com/ShikiGami)*.
+ - [#254](https://github.com/reactjs/React.NET/pull/254) - Allow JavaScript engines to be bypassed entirely. *Thanks to [Dustin Masters](https://www.dustinsoftware.com/)*.
+ - [#266](https://github.com/reactjs/React.NET/pull/266) - Allow customisation of file name extension for Babel transpilation. *Thanks to [Andrew Ovens](http://andrewovens.com/)*.
+ - [#270](https://github.com/reactjs/React.NET/pull/270) - Always return JS engine to pool after component render. *Thanks to [Dustin Masters](https://www.dustinsoftware.com/)*.
+ - [#253](https://github.com/reactjs/React.NET/issues/253) - Fix handling of relative paths in OWIN.
+ - Temporarily disable Chakra Edge JS engine, as it's throwing "Attempted to read or write protected memory" errors. Chakra MSIE is still enabled, although V8 is the recommended engine for ReactJS.NET.
+ - [#226](https://github.com/reactjs/React.NET/pull/226) - Serialize props when they're set, rather than every time the component render code is called. This ensures that the props are only serialized once rather than twice.
+
+Have fun, and as always, please feel free to send feedback or bug reports
+[on GitHub](https://github.com/reactjs/React.NET).
