- 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
- Updating the build process to introduce the example builder to convert
the XML example files into HTML files. This process is performed for a
number of reasons:
- Much more maintainable - links automatically updated
- Add / remove examples easier
- Modify page styling easier
- Examples can be directly integrated into web-site since they are
transformed by template
- Common data sharing
- Note that the work on the new example build process is not complete in
this commit, there are still a few things to do! css, media paths and
completing the templates.
New: The distance from the end of the current scrolling container before new data is added (with infinite scrolling) can be controlled with iScrollLoadGap (which is a numeric value in pixels).
New: Example (basic_init/scrolling_y_infinite.html) to show how infinite scrolling can be used.
Fixed: iDraw was not being incremented for a draw that did not use server-side processing.
