🐉 Welcome Ben "bencodezen" Hong; Enjoy the Vue #1 Episode is here; VuePress v1.3.0 released and more!

Hey,

I’m very happy to let you know that Ben Hong aka bencodezen has recently joined the Vue.js core team! Rumors say, he’s actually a blue-scaled dragon that escaped Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament, but then again what does a muggle like me know? 🤷‍♂️

Congratulations Ben! 🐉

Also, VuePress v1.3.0 has been released! You can check out the list of changes here.

If you have been looking for a (non-news) podcast that is all about Vue, look no further! Put on your headphones and check out Enjoy the Vue episode #1 brought to you by Chris Fritz, Ben Hong, Ari Clark, and Elizabeth Fine!

Wish you a great weekend,

Damian Dulisz
