Overview:
The new Scrollable CalendarStrip component in version 2.x offers a bi-directional infinite scroller for a more dynamic user experience. This feature can recycle days using RecyclerListView and allows for smooth shifting of dates as the ends are reached, improving performance. Users should take precautions when using the Chrome debugger due to a setTimeout bug in React Native that may cause issues with date updates.
