The plugins site is currently in development.
We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.
DataTables 1.5.0-beta
I'm very pleased to release a beta version of DataTables 1.5. After some intensive development this week, there are a couple of very significant new features including:
- Support for server-side processing of data
- Ability to get/display data from any source (Gears for example)
- Adobe AIR support
- Ability to show or hide columns programatically through the API.
This is very much a beta release, but it seems to be hold up quite well in my tests, and it also fixes a number of issues that were present in 1.4. I've also build a unit testing framework for DataTables, which will thoroughly test all releases in future, but I'm still in the middle of writing the tests. 1.5 final won't be released until I'm happy that I've got a comprehensive test suite (we all want solid software!), but hopefully that won't be too long.
