Native Bottom Tabs by default means native look and feel for your tabs, like liquid glass on iOS 26. Made possible thanks to React Native Screens by @swmansion.com

The `useRoute`, `useNavigation` & `useNavigationState` now accept screen name as an argument. - Pass a parent screen name to get parent screen data - Get automatic type inference based on screen name

In static configuration, the type of params is inferred based on the deep link configuration as well. Inspired by @tanstack.com router 🫶

The new `pushParams` API lets you push new entries to history without pushing a new screen. So you can keep filter changes in the history stack, show other components such as modals based on params, and more.
