_k parameter in route on v1.0.0-beta4

[filiptc]

We just updated to beta4 and the param _k=6wznho corresponding to the location.key shows appears to show up in every route.

Is this a bug or is there a to-be-documented feature to disable this?

react-router now uses rackt/history under the hood, have a look here Hash History Caveats.

@filiptc I solved this by switching to browser history, something like:

import createHistory from 'history/lib/createBrowserHistory';
...
ReactDOM.render(<Router children={routes} history={createHistory()}/>, document.getElementById('b-main'));

Thanks for the link to the docs, @malte-wessel :)

Could you please elaborate on what's required to use BrowserHistory?

I've been trying various ways to get this w/o success.

I.e., we have to explicitly import this from the 'history' package?

I'm guessing that my confusion was mainly from the doc showing an import of 'react-router/lib/HashHistory'. The comment above that line indicates importing only the function needed, which makes more sense (i.e., 'history/lib/createBrowserHistory' in my case).
