11. 3.1: 4-May-2013 Adjusted the ACF for IE8 and IE9
    The events have been renamed to "simpleuploads.startUpload" and "simpleuploads.endUpload" and now the startUpload can be used to cancel an upload

    Added a console warning if the upload url hasn't been set in the configuration of CKEditor.

    According to your previous customizations, the upgrade can be very easy or require a little bit of attention.
    Added support to specify extra fields during uploads (for example to support anti-CSRF tokens)
    Replace the QuickUpload buttons in all the CKEditor dialogs with one-click buttons
    Allow to drop files on the dialogs that have a quick upload of file browser options
    Those uploads provide an upload progress bar, cancel button and allow the same features as the rest of uploads (verify the file for size, extension, etc.. before starting the upload, modify the upload url, add extra fields...)
    Handle pasted images for Chrome and IE11 in the Paste dialog (remember that it's easier if you just Ctrl+V on the main document)

    Improved compatibility with IE 11 (several adjustments)
21. 4.1.0: 7-December-2013
    Enhance the toolbar buttons to preserve better the existing content:
    - If an image is selected, picking a new one will preserve its attributes
    - If the selection is in a link, picking a file will change only the href of the link
    - If there's some text selected, picking a file will convert it to a link
    Apply similar checks on the drop target:
    - If an image is dropped over an existing one, replace the source
    - If a file is dropped over a link, replace the href
    During a drop, if the Shift key is pressed, create a link (a) instead of an image (img)
    Added new simpleuploads_hideImageProgress option to use always plain text for the uploads instead of the image preview
    Handle the third optional parameter in the upload callback for dialogs if it is a function (compatibility with the default uploads)

    Modified the function in getTimeStampId to toISOString and the regexp to protect against third party libraries

    Readjusted for changes in the image2 widget
26. 4.2.0: 2nd-march-2014
    New event simpleuploads.localImageReady that allows better checks on the selected images (not available for IE8 & IE9).
    Based on this event, two new options are available, simpleuploads_convertBmp and simpleuploads_maximumDimensions
    More features (local resizing) will be available in a future release.
    This event requires asynchronous processing, so maybe there are situations that I didn't test properly, please, cautious with this update for a few days.

    Added protection against overwritting the native URL object by the CodeCogs plugin
    Improvements to the usage of the "base64" upload option (Remember that we advice you to avoid this option unless you're really sure that this is the way to go, it's mostly unsupported and untested due to the lack of valid use cases so far)
