 - The props contained in `handlers` are currently `ref` and `onMouseDown`

 ### preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent Details
 
 **`preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent`** prevents the browser's [touchmove](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/touchmove) event. Use this to stop the browser from scrolling while a user swipes.
-* `e.preventDefault()` is only called when:
-  * `preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent: true`
-  * `trackTouch: true`
-  * the users current swipe has an associated `onSwiping` or `onSwiped` handler/prop

+- `e.preventDefault()` is only called when:
+  - `preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent: true`
+  - `trackTouch: true`
+  - the users current swipe has an associated `onSwiping` or `onSwiped` handler/prop
 
 Example:
-   * If a user is swiping right with `<Swipable onSwipedRight={this.userSwipedRight} preventDefaultTouchmoveEvent={true} >` then `e.preventDefault()` will be called, but if the user was swiping left then `e.preventDefault()` would **not** be called.

-React Swipeable v6 changes and migration
-=========================
+# React Swipeable v6 changes and migration
 
 ## Major Changes
+
 - removal of `<Swipeable>` component
   - _TODO_ add example for creating one and migrating
+- update calculation of `deltaX` and `deltaY` from `initial - current` to `current - initial`
+  - Example: `const deltaX = state.xy[0] - x;` is now `const deltaX = x - state.xy[0];`
 
 ## Migrate Swipeable v5 to v6
