- **fixed** — Fixed a bug where an invoked actor's input and dynamic src function received the context from before the transition that entered the invoking state, rather than the updated context

###### Patch Changes

-   [#44](https://github.com/balrog-typescript/xstate/pull/44) [`d6a537e`](https://github.com/statelyai/xstate/commit/d6a537eeb078be3256ac269102e28a8aad2f5403) Thanks [@pull](https://github.com/apps/pull)! - Fixed a bug where an invoked actor's `input` (and a dynamic `src` function) received the context from _before_ the transition that entered the invoking state, rather than the updated context. Now, when a transition updates context and targets a state that invokes an actor, the actor's `input` sees the updated context — consistent with that state's `entry` actions.

    ```ts
    const machine = createMachine({
      context: { value: 0 },
      initial: 'idle',
      states: {
        idle: {
          on: {
            start: () => ({ target: 'active', context: { value: 100 } })
          }
        },
        active: {
          invoke: {
            src: asyncLogic,
            // now receives { value: 100 } instead of { value: 0 }
            input: ({ context }) => ({ val: context.value })
          }
        }
      }
    });
    ```
