- IE8- requires that Function.prototype.apply be used with an array or
arguments object as the second parameter - it being "array-like" isn't
good enough.
- This fixes DataTables/DataTables #262
- 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
plug-ins
- A lot of plug-ins use _fnCalculateEnd and although all that is needed
in the upgrade is to remove it, since the value is calculated
automatically now, it will likely cause confusion and hassle. So I've
added this stub to prevent those errors.
- Chrome (V8) will incorrectly detect '$245.12' and similar as dates,
since V8 will strip unknown characters from a string given to
Date.parse and then attempt to parse the rest of the string - in the
example above: Dec, 245:
https://code.google.com/p/v8/source/browse/trunk/src/dateparser-inl.h#72
- The fix implemented to to check for a leading a-zA-Z, number or +-.
Although this isn't a perfect match for what Chrome does, it, I think,
a good enough effort to chatch nearly all particular use cases.
- Additionaly, V8 will try to parse a single number passed into
Date.parse - 1-12 are months, 32+ are years. As such, the numeric type
detection much be a highter priority than the date detection, since
Chrome might incorrectly use a column as a date. It would sort
correctly, but it isn't "correct".
- The take away from this is that Date.parse cannot be used for date
format validation on its own...
1D arrays.
- The method implemented isn't actually 100% perfect - if you mix arrays
and scalars, then the behaviour is undefined. But that shouldn't
happen in DataTables. Will look into it further, though
- This is actually a little more complex than it might first appear
since any classes which have been added by DT_RowClass need to be
removed. We can't just bindly remove all classes, so we need to track
that classes have been added in a private variable.
- 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.
- The previous combination of GPLv2 and BSD 3 point were confusing to
may users, and of limited use. The MIT license is appropriate for
DataTables core software.
simple() static method which makes it very easy to make a server-side
processing request.
- In the examples the SQL statements are all basically the same, so
having this method to wrap them into a single function cal absolutely
makes sense.
- Also added a `formatter` option to the columns array which will format
the data as needed using a closure function.
- It appears that ti is impossible to know in CSS if a table doesn't
have a tfoot element reliably and cross browser, so I've added a class
which is added to the table automatically if the table has no footer
or the fotoer is empty to complete the styling of the table.
- Fixed error when there are no cells in an empty TR row in the footer.
