React v16.9 Released and a Roadmap Update — In 16.9, the unsafe lifecycle methods (e.g. componentWillMount) have been renamed (the old names will work with warnings for now), act() will now work with async functions, and there’s a new way to get performance measurements programmatically using <React.Profiler>.

More interesting, perhaps, is the “update to the roadmap” later in the post where we find out more about the schedule for new features including concurrent mode and Suspense for data fetching which were held up by the intense work on hooks.
