SCAYT throw an error on IE8 and doesn't work

[msamsel]

Hi

I checked the SCAYT under IE8 browser in CKEditor and it seems to doesn't work.

• After opening language option there is an error in console.
• Also there is no highlight of the wrong word.

Issue also appears on previous version of the plugin (I checked 4.6.0 and 4.8.0 of CKEditor release).

I can reproduce it on IE10. Getting error:
SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property '$' of undefined or null reference options.js, line 4 character 238
after opening language options.

Hello guys,
We're planning to start the investigation and fixing stage of the issue in this development sprint that was started yesterday (Feb 13, 2017). It should be released in the WebSpellchecker Application v 5.0.0 (March, 2017)

We could also reproduce it on IE10.

Any updates on that? It breaks the SCAYT for IE8-IE10 users.
