HTML5 uploader supports folders now
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?

In the end of 2014, Google updated their plans to phase out NPAPI (and, therefore, Java) support. In short, we have one more quarter to prepare. Let's elaborate.
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?
The Aurigma Up 1.10 update was the largest one since its birth date and as many people experienced firsthand, it did not go well. A lot of end users complained that the app crashes on the launch while we could not reproduce the problem locally. We spend more than a week to figure out what is wrong. The app is on the way to the Apple's approval and meanwhile I am going to share what we learned from this incident.
While preparing the next Upload Suite update, we had some support requests regarding the problems with Internet Explorer when it runs in so-called EPM (Enhanced Protection Mode). So we had to figure out what is EPM and how our uploader should live with it.
After a recent iOS8 release, our HTML5 uploader stopped working there. It was the Apple's fault and fortunately they were kind enough to fix it in 8.0.2 released shortly. But this issue made me to recall the idea of a mobile-friendly HTML5 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?
Another step HTML5 uploader closer to his "older brother" on Java technology. Now with the release of a new Upload Suite 8.0.98 version users have the support metadata.
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).
