We’re always looking for opportunities to teach Uppy cool new tricks, and the past few months have been no exception. Since our most recent post in December, Uppy has continued to receive a steady stream of updates. This post covers all the improvements made in Uppy versions 2.4 through 2.7. Changes and additions include: image compression, improved Transloadit rate limiting and a lighter Dashboard plugin. We’ve also moved our end-to-end tests to Cypress, and are slowly converting plugins to ES modules (ESM).

Last Christmas, we gave you Uppy 1.24, but this very next year, we’ll take it away (since it’s outdated by now) and give you a brand-new Uppy 2.3 🎁!

After the release of our latest major version, 2.0.0, we’ve been busy with many things. First of all is the long-awaited Audio plugin to record and upload live audio directly. We then worked on adding a fast and efficient streaming interface to Companion and made Unsplash production ready. Housekeeping was also part of the job: we made Status Bar improvements, moved from npm to Yarn 3, did some refactoring, and updated dependencies.

Last but not least, we got the issue count down from around 110 since 2.0.0 to around 45 now.

Today, our tails are positively wagging with excitement about the release of Uppy 2.0! This latest version is on average 25% smaller and up to a thousand times faster, thanks to dropping support for IE11 and a lot of refactoring work. We’ve upgraded many dependencies, most notably Preact 8 to Preact X, greatly improved TypeScript support and screen reader accessibility, paid technical debt, and added support for multiple messages in the Informer plugin.

Chow down on all the juicy bits and pieces inside! And make sure to try Uppy live demo.

Uppy 1.30 introduces the long-awaited Angular integration (beta), granular image rotation and Google Drive shortcuts.

In Uppy 1.29, we’ve revamped the Golden Retriever plugin with support for partially recovered “ghost” files, added a disableLocalFiles option to the Dashboard, enabled the ability to preview webcam videos before submitting and provided an uppy.logout() method, along with an assortment of Companion improvements.

In Uppy 1.27 we’ve added a new @uppy/drop-target plugin, enabled support for Vue 3, introduced dynamic metaFields option for Dashboard, Google Drive now lists documents that have been shared with you.

Uppy 1.26 brings a new disabled option for the Dashboad, ability to set headers per file with XHR Upload, and fixes for the Transloadit plugin.

Uppy 1.25 adds support for right-to-left scripts, Ukrainian translation and various improvements for Companion.

Just see how cool this looks, and read further for a video demo and some behind the scenes implementation sorcery:

Uppy 1.24 adds an experimental Svelte integration, additional React components, autoOpenFileEditor option for Dashboard, and a Norwegian (bokmål) translation!

Uppy 1.23 brings Vue.js components 💥, Box file service support, a “Done” button for the Status Bar + Dashboard, and a better cloud file restrictions UI.
