Yesterday, marked the beginning of our thirty-day blog post challenge to keep you updated on our preparations for releasing Uppy 1.0 on April 25. So here we are again already!

When we started working on Uppy back in early 2016, all we had was an idea and the shared desire to launch file uploading into a new age. We had already been laying the groundwork with the development of tus.io and felt that its robust back-end deserved a front-end just as robust, modern and user-friendly.

In 0.30, we are introducing a new friend for Uppy — the Robodog.

0.29 brings bug fixes and improvements, while we are busy working on Uppy React Native support (which first had to land in the js client for our resumable file upload protocol: tus.io) and a Preset (still debating the name) which will make it easier to leverage Transloadit's encoding platform, and offer a smooth migration path for users not yet on Uppy. The highlights of this release are: separating Core and Plugin styles, more accurate progress reporting by factoring in sizes across files, adding a responseType option for XHR Upload, and fixing visual Webcam bugs.

In 0.28, we are introducing a new “Single Upload” mode, improving on the Status Bar plugin with a spinner and different pause/resume/cancel buttons. We'll also share some progress on bringing back unified locale packs and a Transloadit Preset 🍁

In 0.27, we have some more iterations on the Dashboard UI for you in store again. We are getting rid of the permanent tab bar and made tons of other improvements!

Uppy 0.26 replaces the monolithic Uppy package with a separate npm package for every plugin.

Uppy 0.25 comes with a couple of new features, like drag-and-dropping URLs and images with the Url plugin, Dashboard modal animation and interactive components in i18n strings, as well as a ton of under the hood fixes and improvements.

Uppy 0.24.2 brings a refreshed UI in the Dashboard and StatusBar plugins, a synchronous addFile() method, a cancel button, style protections, documentation on writing your own Uppy plugin, revamped XHR response handling and tons of bugfixes.

Hi all! We are back from holidays with a shiny new 0.23.0 release for you! It’s packed with a new Url plugin (imports files from urls), refactored ThumbnailGenerator, Webcam improvements and more.

Import from Url​

Meet our new “Provider” plugin, Url. It’s simple, yet powerful: paste a link to any file on the web, and Uppy with Uppy Server will upload it wherever you need.

uppy.use(Url, { target: Dashboard, host: YOUR_UPPY_SERVER_URL });
