 ### Code quality
 
+- Simplified `WithinContentContainer` context type ([#1602](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/1602))
 - Remove `withRef` and `withContext` from `DropZone.FileUpload` ([#1491](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/1491))
 - Updated `OptionList` to no longer use `componentWillReceiveProps`([#1557](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/1557))
 - Updated all our context files to export react context rather than a provider and consumer ([#1459](https://github.com/Shopify/polaris-react/pull/1459))
