I'm absolutely delighted to be able to announce the release of DataTables 1.8. After 3 months in development, 1.8 is a significant release bringing a great deal of new flexibility to DataTables and some very useful features for you, the developers using DataTables.
Finally, please support DataTables development and support by making a donation to the project :-) http://datatables.net/donate
If you have any issues with the new release or upgrading from a previous version, please post your message in a new thread so we can keep track of individual issues.
When upgrading to 1.8.0 I've had some troubles with the following plugin :
Plugins > Type detection > UK date type detection
It said that sData.match is not a function.
Resolved it by replacing match() by test() function.
I don't know if other plugins are using the .match() syntax. :)
