Release notes

While DataTables 3 development has been the primary focus of late, there have still been a few patches to DataTables 2 (some of them backports from DT3), which are collected here in this release.

Fixes

If the table holds no data for the page when being drawn and paging is held (i.e. the rows have been deleted), then the paging will "rewind" to the previous page now.
Improved timezone support for date and time renderers - time zone is not shifted when displaying a date / time (i.e. the displayed timezone matches the input).
Don't mix UTC and timezone processing. It results in offsets where they aren't wanted.
Keyboard tabbing will no longer land on hidden elements in a scrolling table
Multi-line html elements could still cause issues for column sizing
XHTML fix for when scrolling is enabled
Accessability - remove the -tag tfoot element if it is empty
Don't include <template> or `` tags in the sizing table
jQuery UI styling when used with FixedHeader - the header would have slightly different styling when floating (bold and decreased padding)
