Comments

history package recently released a major version - v5.0.0.
Redirect doesn't work because of it. I also describe issue on history repository.

There can also be some changes what breaks react-router .

I use Router with history instead of BrowserRouter with useHistory hook, because I need often access to history from outside of react components.
It would be great if in the future react-router will get me this feature without using history package :)

React Router 5.x isn't compatible with history 5.0.0. This is listed in our dependencies. Simply install a version within the ^4.9.0 range.

@timdorr Since you ("you" as in ReactTraining) maintain both of these dependencies, are there plans to address this? Staying on an outdated dependency long-term is not a good solution for many developers/companies.

React Router v6 uses History v5. We already request the correct version in our dependencies for either version of Router.
