+Deprecate the `createRouter` `detectErrorBoundary` option in favor of the new `mapRouteProperties` option for converting a framework-agnostic route to a framework-aware route. This allows us to set more than just the `hasErrorBoundary` property during route pre-processing, and is now used for mapping `Component -> element` and `ErrorBoundary -> errorElement` in `react-router`.

 The `@remix-run/router` package is a framework-agnostic routing package (sometimes referred to as a browser-emulator) that serves as the heart of [React Router][react-router] and [Remix][remix] and provides all the core functionality for routing coupled with data loading and data mutations. It comes with built-in handling of errors, race-conditions, interruptions, cancellations, lazy-loading data, and much, much more.

 Internally, the Router represents the state in an object of the following format, which is available through `router.state`. You can also register a subscriber of the signature `(state: RouterState) => void` to execute when the state updates via `router.subscribe()`;
