Migrating from 8.9 to 8.10

React-hot-loader is not anymore needed to provide auto refresh functionality. That is, you can remove its usage from the code: your main entry point can simply be export default MyWidget; instead of export default hot(MyWidget);`.

If you do not change your widget, hot will be replaced with a noop function that has no effect.
