 ## Other Fixes & Improvements
 
 - ⚠️ **breaking** `addFile()`, `onBeforeFileAdded()` and `onBeforeUpload()` are now synchronous and have to return nothing or file objects to proceed, or false to abort; please check out the update docs for details: [onBeforeFileAdded()](https://uppy.io/docs/uppy/#onBeforeFileAdded) and [onBeforeUpload()](https://uppy.io/docs/uppy/#onBeforeUpload).
-- ⚠️ **breaking** Most event now emit the whole `file` object instead of a `fileId`. So you can access `file.name` right away, for example, without having to fish the file using its id first, like before.
-- ⚠️ **breaking** We’ve added `postcss-safe-important` to out style build step, so now 90% of rules got `!important` declaration added to them. This is done to prevent page styles (especially global like Bootstrap) from leaking into the Uppy widget. There are other solutions we are looking into, like iFrames and WebComponents, this is an experiment. Keep in mind that to override Uppy styles, you now have to also use `!important`.

 - dashboard: ⚠️ **breaking** `maxWidth`, `maxHeight` options have been converted to `width` and `height`, because this makes more sense, `maxWidth` and `maxHeight` are actually `100%`.
-- There is now an option `showLinkToFileUploadResult: true` to disable linking to the upload result in Dashboard UI.

 - We are now using the image time and date as a file name in Instagram, instead of a generic file id.
-- URL plugin now checks for http(s) protocol, and add http by default if no protocol is present.
+- The URL plugin now checks for HTTP(S) protocol, and adds HTTP by default if no protocol is present.
 - It’s now possible to override `<DashboardModal />` React component’s target prop.
-- Provider views now have `showFilter` and `showBreadcrumbs` options, those are off for Instagram plugin, for example.
-- Uppy Server to Client communication has been refactored into `Provider` and `Request` modules. Request can be used when a simple request needs to be made to Uppy Server, like in URL plugin, for example. Provider is used for more complex implementations shared between Google Drive and Instagram, for example.
-- We’ve added Transloadit example to the website, [check it out](https://uppy.io/examples/transloadit/).
