Release notes

DataTables 3 development is progressing well, but in the meantime, this is a patch release that has particular focus on the column width calculations, but also addresses a few other issues.

Updated

  • columnTitleTag option which can be used to change the wrapper element type for the title / order display in the column header cell. It is span by default, and can be made a div using this option. This option is temporary and the default will be div for v3

Fixes

  • When calculation column widths, content from a script tag should not be included.
  • Table child elements should conform of HTML specification
  • Encoded entities could cause column width auto-calculation errors
  • Improving auto column width calculations - allow removed HTML to wrap
  • Bootstrap 5 with a table-responsive wrapper shouldn't change the top/bottom margin of the layout rows.
  • Bootstrap 5 styling with some themes could cause the header to grow vertically.
  • If using ajax.submitAs = 'json' the contentType for the request is now automatically set to be application/json; charset=utf-8.
  • Leave HTML in when calculating the column widths for the table
