-Uppy used to always display the tab bar (the one you use to select between importing files from Instagram, Webcam, local disk, etc). This was not working well with the growing list of sources we support, especially on mobile.

 ## Progress on React Native
 
-We’ve begun working on supporting React Native in Uppy. Since `0.27` it should run in a React Native environment — meaning you can use Uppy API (`uppy.addFile()`, `uppy.upload()`) for adding files and uploading, without the UI. `@uppy/xhr-upload` uploader is already supported, and we are working on making `@uppy/tus`(and `tus-js-client` itself) run in React Native too.

 We plan to make sure all non-UI Uppy plugins work in RN, and then provide a few useful components for adding Uppy to your RN apps.

-Built-in React Native support has been a 1.0 goal from the start. We've had many requests about Angular.js and Vue support. There are already community built solutions for these platforms that seem to work well, but unfortunately we won't be officially supporting them before our 1.0 milestone. Depending on community input we might add that later.

-Uppy Server is an optional service that Uppy can use to import files from sources like Instagram or Dropbox. However simply naming it "Server" was quite unclear and has caused confusion. Many people thought you could upload files to Uppy Server as well, but that's not the case. We recommend uploading to a [tus.io](https://tus.io) server, and if that's too much for your simple usecase, use your existing webserver to handle the upload.

+So, to hopefully end this confusion once and for all, we are renaming Uppy Server to Companion: an optional tool in the datacenter, which you can use to add more functionality to your Uppy.js client. If nothing else, maybe it will net us some points for having yet another dog-themed name!
 
-Simultaneously we moved Uppy Companion into the main [transloadit/uppy](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy) [monorepo](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/master/doc/design/monorepo.md). This centralizes Uppy issue reporting, and makes it easier to do updates and simultaneous releases of the client and Companion parts.

-Note that despite the rename, configuration for standalone Companion still uses `UPPYSERVER_` environment variables. This should ease the transition, since you'll only have to update the package name for now. Once we add `COMPANION_` variable support, we'll continue to support `UPPYSERVER_` environment variables to smoothen the transition. And of course we'll notify you here when that time comes!
