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.
You might notice that an attempt to install an ActiveX control (e.g. our uploader) ends up with the "An add-on for this website failed to run" error. We tried to figure out what is going on and here is what we discovered.
If you update your Chrome to the version 42, you will discover that the browser no longer displays a Java applet. The NPAPI plugin support is phased out in accordance to their plan as I wrote earlier.
Did you miss a pre-upload watermarking feature in HTML5 uploader? Did you want to make the user interface more versatile? New Upload Suite includes these features and many more changes!
We started new year with a new feature - an ability to upload entire folders with HTML5 uploader. What is important to know if this feature is critical for you?
Since the date of Java shutdown in Chrome is approaching, I would like to write a review of Java uploader vs. its HTML5 counterpart. What features you will lose if you switch from Java to HTML5? Are they critical? Let's try to figure out.
About one year ago Google announced that they want to clean up Chrome from 90es legacy and remove NPAPI support (and, therefore, get rid of Java plugin). The transitional period is about to finish. What it means for Aurigma's Java uploader?

If you are using Java uploader or downloader created before April 2014, you may encounter a problem with the expired certificate. What to do if it happens?
When Oracle released Java 7 Update 45 several months ago, I noticed a strange behavior - if the user decides not to update Java, the uploader starts working incorrectly (although it was working great a day ago).
