+### Reverts
+
+* Revert "refactor(directives): remove binding.instance" ([2370166](https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/commit/23701666cb487e55d05b74d66990361051715ba4))
+
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **runtime-core:** data no longer supports object format (per RFC-0020)
+* **runtime-core:** `RendererOptions.patchProp` arguments order has changed
+
+  The `prevValue` and `nextValue` position has been swapped to keep it
+  consistent with other functions in the renderer implementation. This
+  only affects custom renderers using the `createRenderer` API.
