This release is one of the largest updates in Upload Suite history - it includes more than 40 improvements. The jewel in a crown is an ability to upload really large files (gigabytes) by splitting them into smaller chunks. However it is not the only improvement.

Cropping tool, draw tool, new thumbnail mode, EXIF previews and other image-related features are added to the new Upload Suite.
