React 16.3 (released on March 29, 2018) introduced the Context API, which simplified the passing of data through the component tree without needing to manually pass props at every level.

React 16.8 (released on February 6, 2019) was a major milestone, introducing React Hooks. This allowed developers to use state and lifecycle features in function components, eliminating the need for class components for most use cases.

React 17 (released on October 20, 2020) focused on making upgrades easier and less disruptive. This version included improvements like the new JSX Transform and an updated event handling system, but it did not introduce major new features.

React 18 (released on March 29, 2022) introduced Concurrent Rendering, which optimized rendering performance by enabling React to pause work and switch to higher-priority tasks without blocking the UI.

These updates have significantly improved React's functionality and performance, helping to maintain its position as one of the leading libraries for web development.
