DateTime 2.0.0-beta.1

DataTables CDN files for DateTime 2.0.0-beta.1. This software was originally released on 6th April, 2026.

Release notes

This release of DateTime updates the software to be fully compatible with DataTables 3, and matches the core library in that it no longer has any dependency on jQuery. It does now have a hard dependency on DataTables core though.

New

DateTime no longer depends on jQuery. It does however depend on DataTables.
Ported to Typescript and offers improved typing support
The first day in the week is now detected automatically for the end user's locale (if possible). This does not yet work in Firefox due to a missing API, where it will default to 1 (Monday) as it used to be.

Updates

Improve options information
ES6 output target from TypeScript

Examples

Update to remove jQuery initialisation version of each example, and focus on the Vanilla JS code for simplicity and consistency throughout the DataTables examples.
Update the default date used in the examples

Docs

Explicitly state the top level and column level interaction for columnControl.target.
Consistent naming for DataTables types
Updated for the more consistent naming convention used for DataTables' defined types in DT3
