SearchBuilder 2.0.0-beta.1

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

Release notes

This release of SearchBuilder 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. Its only dependency now is DataTables core. It also now makes use of CSS variables for consistent styling.

Note that if you had custom plugins that depended upon jQuery, they will need to be updated, due to the removal of jQuery as a dependency. SearchBuilder now uses the Dom instance from DataTables as its DOM library.
