-## [SECTION TITLE](#section-url)
+## [New Beta Release for ember-cli-babel 🎉](https://twitter.com/pzuraq/status/1075856318798344192)
+
+[@pzuraq](https://github.com/pzuraq) recently announced the release of [ember-cli-babel@v7.3.0-beta.1](https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/tree/v7.3.0-beta.1)!
+
+The plugin [ember-cli-babel](https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel) uses [Babel](https://github.com/babel) and [babel-preset-env](https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env) to allow us to use ES6 syntax within our Ember CLI project.
+
+With the 7.3.0 beta release, the `includeExternalHelpers` option is now available. This option controls deduplicating the default Babel helper functions by putting them in a shared module and lowering the payload size.
 
+To read more on the `includeExternalHelpers` check out the [docs](https://github.com/babel/ember-cli-babel/#external-helpers)!
