Check out the Uploader in 0.8

[Colin Clark]

Hi everyone,

The Uploader has been growing a lot over the last couple of releases,  
and the Infusion 0.8 release is particularly noteworthy. Uploader is  
now very stable and compatible with a broad range of browsers.

Here's a quick summary of what's new:

* We've squashed all of the really annoying, fiddly bugs we were  
experiencing, caused by SWFUpload.
* Uploader now works on all A-grade browsers with both Flash 9 and 10.  
Yes, it even works in IE6.
* Pausing and resuming now works seamlessly
* New and improved documentation and tutorial
* Improved keyboard accessibility during uploads

For 1.0, our main goals are:

* Better assistive technology support for Flash 10 clients
* Improved keyboard navigation in Firefox with Flash 10
* More usable and informative interface when errors occur

Here's a link to the Uploader in action:

And to the new documentation:
