+After the 2.0 release we’ve been busy refactoring, updating dependencies, moving from npm to Yarn 3 and much-needed housekeeping. We’ve also released a new Audio plugin, improved Status Bar and Unsplash
+

+
+## Audio plugin
+
+Uppy now has a new `@uppy/audio` plugin for recording audio memos, messages and sounds. Check it out [on the demo page](https://uppy.io/examples/dashboard/).

+
+## Status bar error state improvements
+
+Status bar plugin would get confused about upload errors in Uppy, and we’ve addressed that:
+
+* Error state is shown if only _one_ failed file instead of _all_ failed files. Used to be stuck in the uploading state when a file failed.
+* Added “x of x files uploaded” below “Upload failed” for extra context.
+* Improved the error details button styling in the statusbar and the file info card.
+* Status bar state is set to complete if the user manually removes the failed files.

+
+PR [#3299](/~https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/pull/3299).
+
+## `@uppy/unsplash` is now production ready
+
+The Unsplash plugin has been refactored to make it brand compliant, show author of image in UI, improve maintainability and fix bugs. We’ve also finally added [docs to the website](https://uppy.io/docs/unsplash/).

+
+PR [#3196](/~https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/pull/3196).
+
+## Refactor locale scripts & generate types and docs
+
+This is an internal change, but important nonetheless. Our locales now live in a separate `locale.js` file for every plugin instead of `this.defaultLocale` in the class. The docs and types are automatically updated when we add/remove new locale strings.
+
+See PR [#3276](/~https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/pull/3276) for details.
+
+## Yarn v3 instead of npm
+
+We’ve switched the uppy repo to Yarn 3 to improve package install performance — with our complex dependency graph and over 30 packages in a monorepo, we are seeing a speed increase of over a few minutes!
+
+We are using Corepack to ensure all Uppy contributors are using the same version of Yarn. If you are an Uppy contributor, please run the following commands to enable Corepack:
+
+```sh
+corepack -v || npm i -g corepack # install Corepack if not already installed
+yarn -v || corepack enable # install Yarn through Corepack if not already installed
+yarn || corepack yarn install # install npm dependencies using yarn
+```
+
+See details in [#3237](/~https://github.com/transloadit/uppy/pull/3237)
