### Usage upgrade after 5.1.0

```__react
import Alert from '../alert';
ReactDOM.render(<Alert message="After version 5.1.0, we provide a simpler usage <Mentions options={[...]} />  with better performance and potential of writing simpler code style in your applications. Meanwhile, we deprecated the old usage in browser console, we will remove it in antd 6.0." />, mountNode);
```

```jsx
// works when >=5.1.0, recommended ✅
const options = [{ value: 'sample', label: 'sample' }];
return <Mentions options={options} />;

// works when <5.1.0, deprecated when >=5.1.0 🙅🏻‍♀️
<Mentions onChange={onChange}>
  <Mentions.Option value="sample">Sample</Mentions.Option>
