+Reanimated v4 changed to a critically damped, snappy spring (no bounce) as the default. The rationale was that the old physics-based defaults were too sensitive to start/end conditions. v4 recommends using `duration` + `dampingRatio` instead of raw physics params.
+
 If the source code explicitly sets any of these values, carry them over as-is. If the source relies on Reanimated defaults (no explicit value), set the Reanimated default explicitly on the EaseView transition.

-**Note:** Reanimated v3+ uses duration-based spring by default (`duration: 550`, `dampingRatio: 1`) when no physics params are set. If migrating code that uses `withSpring` without any config, use `damping: 10, stiffness: 100` which matches the physics-based fallback. If the code explicitly sets `dampingRatio`/`duration`, convert using: `damping = dampingRatio * 2 * sqrt(stiffness * mass)`.
+**Duration-based spring:** Reanimated v3+ also supports `withSpring(target, { duration, dampingRatio })`. If the code explicitly sets `dampingRatio`/`duration`, convert using: `damping = dampingRatio * 2 * sqrt(stiffness * mass)`.
