-Well, let's just say we are superstitious like that. You won't see us coding under any ladders either! Add to that the fact that we were also in the middle of the holiday season, we decided to call 0.13 ‘The Release That Wasn’t’ and just skip it. Our latest release is dead, long live our latest release!

 ## Major Uppy Server Updates
 
 **Express.js**
-We have switched to Express from Koa. Not only is it more widely adopted and supported, but it also has a larger community and better maintained packages. More than enough reason for us, so we went for it!
+We’ve switched to Express from Koa. It’s more widely adopted and supported, has larger community and better maintained packages, so we went for it.
 
 **Pluggable or standalone**
 Uppy Server can now be plugged into your existing Express/Koa server app, but you can also still run it as a standalone server. [See here](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy-server#run-as-standalone-server) for further instructions.
 
 **Smooth authentication**
-It used to be the case that when you clicked that stylish “authenticate” [with Google Drive] button, you were taken away from the page, and things tended to get lost. That has now all been made silky smooth: upon clicking the button, a fresh tab will now open in your browser, which will take you to the authentication page  – be it on Google Drive, Dropbox, or somewhere else. When you are done, this tab is automagically closed again, and you are back where you were, authenticated, with all your remote files at hand.

 We are not using media queries here, but have instead added a `UppyDashboard--wide` CSS class, which allows for more flexibility — your file uploading widget can be tiny even if the screen is large.

We’d love to [hear what you think](https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/issues/42).
 
 ## Misc
 
 - [yo-yoify](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yo-yoify) has been added to our build setup in order to solve a [Function.caller / strict mode issue](https://github.com/shama/bel#note) and to make the app faster/smaller by transforming template strings into pure and fast document calls.
 - By the way, Uppy’s UI DOM is powered by [yo-yo](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yo-yo). We like yo-yo for its simplicity, speed and small size, but sometimes there are issues, one of them being the lack of wide adoption. We are looking at [Preact](https://preactjs.com/), but are also quite excited about [Nanocomponent](https://github.com/yoshuawuyts/nanocomponent).
-- We have fixed progress events that were not being properly sent from Uppy Server. As it turns out, this occurred because server uploads were happening too fast, before the client was actually able to connect to the server. :scream: Guess that’s a good problem to have solved!
-- We have recently added Uppy to [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/uppy) and we were very pleased with the warm welcome we received. We even made it to their front page a few days later. Let's hope it will help to get more people excited about Uppy! :smile:
