tabBarVisible does not affect nested StackNavigator inside TabNavigator

[jarvisluong]

Current Behavior

• I have a nested StackNavigator inside a createBottomTabNavigator with one nested screen inside the StackNavigator has navigationOptions that set tabBarVisible to false.

Expected Behavior

• The nested screen inside StackNavigator that has tabBarVisible to false in navigationOptions should not show the tabBar

Could the behavior be the same as in v1? Since I have the setup that there are even nested StackNavigator inside another StackNavigator that using navigation.state.index itself can't fully solve the whole problem?

the doc that @itsmeek linked to handles the exact problem that you describe. this is also listed as a breaking change in the release notes :)
