Release notes

The big news in this release of TableTools is the support for Unicode when exporting to Excel or CSV. The Excel files are now written in UTF-16LE, while the CSV files are UTF-8. Also of note is the removal of the (approximately) 64K limit to saving data - a work around for the limitations of the Javascript / Flash bridge has been implemented to address this. Other than that, it's mainly bug fixes.

New: Unicode support!
New: Excel output is now saved as UTF-16LE, which allows unicode to work. CSV output is saved as UTF-8. The BOM is included in both cases.
New: Information in hidden columns (bVisible:false) can now be included in the exported data by setting the TableToolsInit.bIncHiddenColumns parameter
New: Data is automatically trimmed when exported (csv, xsl or clipboard). This is done to account for white space which is often present in HTML tables
New: Ability to save files larger than 64KiB. There is a limitation in the Javascript / Flash bridge, which has been worked around in this release for large data sets.

Fixed: Demo now notes that TableToolsInit.sSwfPath might need to be set by the developer
Fixed: Type issue when used with server-side processing, Ajax or aaData sources.
Fixed: Strip invalid characters from the titles. Note it's fairly brutal when detailing with ACSII characters. This is the ensure maximum compatibility.
Fixed: The csv export doesn't account for existing commas in the table cells. Now use a field boundary for CSV (default is a single quote '), which is read from TableToolsInit.sCsvBoundary
Fixed: Passes JSLint
Fixed: HTML entities are now decoded (for example '&' will come out as '&' in the exported file and clipboard now)
Known limitation: Note that due to limitations in Javascript engines it would appear that this support is limited to the "Basic Multilingual Plane"
