Finally, we integrated several Pull Requests contributed by the community:

• Extended the AjaxFileUploadEventArgs class to include the current file index in the queue and the total number of files in the queue.
• Fixed an issue with TabContainer and TabPanel which caused the OnActiveTabChanged event to fire too often.
