## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
Medusa v2.13.0. Source highlight: Zod dependency restructuring

- feat(events): Implement default priority-based event processing
- feat(config): Default event worker concurrency to 3 on cloud

## Improvements
- Remove the `entities` option from the translation module in `medusa-config.ts`
- Configure the translatable entities from the new management view in the admin dashboard
