Testing Preact 11.0.0-experimental-1...does ref auto-forwarding not work yet?

[PoseidonEnergy]

I'm interested in the following section in the Upgrading from Preact 10.x article:

Refs are forwarded by default

Refs are now forwarded by default, allowing them to be used just like any other prop. You will no longer need to use forwardRef from preact/compat to supply this functionality.

function MyComponent({ ref }) {
	return <h1 ref={ref}>Hello, world!</h1>;
}

<MyComponent ref={myRef} />;
// Preact 10: myRef.current is an instance of MyComponent
// Preact 11: myRef.current is the <h1> DOM element

I installed Preact 11.0.0-experimental-1 to test out the new support for ref auto-forwarding, but my refs still aren't auto-forwarding.

Is this something that will be implemented soon so I can test it out?

preact 11.0.0-experimental-1

The experimental build is years and years old now, unrelated to the current v11. For that, you want -beta
