  * Now uses the latest version of `node-slack-sdk` (v3.4.1 as of this writing), inheriting all the improvements therein.
  * Better (and automatically enabled) reconnect logic. As in, it actually reconnects automatically at all.
  * Now you can upload files!
  * Significantly improved handling of messages with attachments, which is to say, we can deliver them.
  * Message formatting of links, usernames and channel names is now working far better than it ever did, which is damning with faint praise, but hey.
  * Long messages are now left for Slack to handle, bless their hearts.
  * Slack usernames with `.` and `-` are now treated with the respect and dignity due to all usernames.
  * Messages from bots are no longer filtered out, which is both cool and potentially terrifying, but we should never have silenced the robots in the first place.
  * Remember how if you tried to hack on this adapter and used `npm link` to plug that into a live bot? And how that didn't work? Yeah? Well now it does. Stupid `instanceof`.
  * Total refactoring of the functionality, exposing a slightly different interface. So watch out for that.
  * You can now access the underlying Slack client directly, for when you really need low-level functionality therein.
