       [:p "Reagent used to wrap all ”native” React components in an
       extra Reagent component, in order to keep track of how deep in
       the component tree each component was (to make sure that
       un-necessary re-renderings were avoided)."]

       [:p "Now, this extra wrapper-component isn’t needed anymore,
       which means quite a bit faster generation of native React

       [:h2 "Simple React integration"]

       [:p "Since Reagent doesn't need those wrappers anymore it is
       also now easier to mix native React components with Reagent
       ones. There’s a new convenience
       function, " [:code "reagent.core/create-element"] ", that
       simply calls " [:a {:href

       of " [:code "React.createClass"] " or html tag names."]

       [:p [:code "reagent.core/as-element"] " turns Reagent’s hiccup
       forms into React elements, that can be passed to ordinary React
       components. The combination of " [:code "create-element"] "

       [:p "Reagent used to have a rather complicated way of
       determining when a component should be re-rendered in response
       to changing arguments. Now the rule is much simpler: a
       component will be re-rendered if the old and new arguments are
       not equal (i.e. they are compared with a
       simple " [:code "="] ")."]
