- Bootstrap is proving to be a far more popular theme for DataTables -
this example comes from back in the day when jQuery UI theming was
first added, so it is no longer required.
- Have used :after for the information about what type of link it is -
this stops it from being included in a copy / paste which was annoying
- The postfix is a bit more informative than a letter about what
software it relates to
- With the move to the 1.10 API for all of the extensions, showing the
extension letter was redundent anyway
- Adding -button link type
- Improved the colours
DataTables which character is used as a decimal place in the table's
data, so that number which are formatted using characters other than a
dot as the decimal place can be correctly detected and sorted.
- A large part of the world uses the comma as a decimal place, so it
makes sense to have this option built-in directly to DataTables,
rather than needing to use plu-in sorting types as before:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark
- However, the decimal place character cannot be detected automatically
since there are far to many ambiguities. As such, a new
`language.decimal` option is defined which is passed through to the
type detection functions. The type detection functions can then use
that character to alter their detection functions to transform numbers
into the dot formatted equivilent for parsing in Javascript.
- The numeric sorting methods have been bundled together in the function
`_addNumericSort` which is called when a character is given for the
decimal mark, adding the sorting functions required specifically for
that mark. This means that any character at all can be added, while
keeping the table's sort performance as it was.
- Code size in increased a little for this new feature, but a lot of
work has been done to keep it to a minimum (while still optimising for
the most common use case of a dot decimal place), and this is a good
feature to have in DataTables' core code.
- All required documentation added and updated.
- Special thanks to Tobias Bäthge for suggesting and sponsoring this
feature.
- Added new orthogonal data example
- Updated columns.data and columns.render documentation
- Reordering the manual a little
- Add note to the old orthogonal data blog post to direct people to the
new manual page
- The jQueryUI option is depricated in 1.10 and will be removed in 1.11
to be replaced by style integration files int he same way that
Bootstrap and Foundation use. This helps to reduce the size of the
core for a feature that is no longer used that often, while also
ensureing that DataTables remains modular and supports many styling
libraries.
- As a result of this change, I want developers to be able to implement
1.10 without needing to use a depricated option, so this highlights
the newly added jQuery styling integration files from the plug-ins
repo.
