* All of the [original document pages](http://tablesorter.com/docs/) have been included.
* Information from my blog post on [undocumented options](http://wowmotty.blogspot.com/2011/06/jquery-tablesorter-missing-docs.html) and lots of new demos have also been included.
* Change log moved from included text file into the [wiki documentation](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/wiki/Change).
* Parsers for sorting text, alphanumeric text, URIs, integers, currency, floats, IP addresses, dates (ISO, long and short formats) & time. [Add your own easily](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-parsers.html).
* Big shout-out to [Nick Craver](https://github.com/NickCraver) for getting rid of the `eval()` function that was previously needed for multi-column sorting.
* Add accessibility attributes to tablesorter (aria).
* Make header's `bindEvent` function public to allow easier binding to cloned table headers.
* Add an unsorted header class name option `cssNone` (empty string by default) and now all unsorted headers will have a class name of `tablesorter-headerUnSorted` applied; updated destroy method to remove header unsorted class name.
* Ensure only "updateRow" is triggered within the pager plugin to prevent issues with Proptype.js, see [issue #217](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/217).
* Clean up all public API functions to accept `table` as either a DOM element or a jQuery table object.
* The log will now display console errors and/or warnings based on those key words.
* Consolidated all default class names used by the plugin within `$.tablesorter.css` - these are class names that are not set by the options.
* Docs
* Organize the examples section to make it easier to find the desired sort demo.
* Add associated tablesorter option (with link) with the appropriate examples.
* Add a "Custom parsers" section instead of lumping it in with the widgets.
* Add a "Work-in-progress" section for some beta demos.
* Add indicators to show which widgets are contained within the `jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js` file.
* Add an "API" section which gives details on how to use tablesorters available public variables & functions in both the core and widgets.
* Colorize the left border of code blocks to differentiate HTML, CSS and javascript.
* Update & consolidate jQuery UI accordion code.
* Miscellaneous demo fixes.
* Parsers
* The "shortDate" parser now works properly with header colspans. Fixes [issue #474](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/474).
* The "currency" parser will now properly detect currencies which include a plus or minus sign.
* The "checkbox" parser (contained in the `parser-input-select.js` file) will now toggle a class name of `checked-#` (`#` is the column index) on the row.
* A new `parsed` parameter has been added to the parser code block.
* This parameter is set with a boolean value (i.e. `true` or `false`), to signal the filter widget to only search through parsed data when `true`.
* All parsers within the "parser-input-select.js" file now include a `parsed:true` parameter.
* The [parsers](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-parsers.html) and [parsers-advanced](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-parsers-advanced.html) demos have been updated to reflect this addition.
* Browser will now scroll to table top after filtering. Fixes [issue #482](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/482).
* Column selector widget (new!)
* This widget can make a table responsive. It uses similar parameters as those used by jQuery mobile to set priorities for hiding columns (uses "data-priority" attribute).
* The column priorities range from 1 to 6, with 1 having the highest priority. As the browser window shrinks, lower priority (higher numbers) columns will be hidden first until all numbered priority columns are hidden.
* Any named data-priority, other than the numbers 1 - 6, (e.g. "critical" or "persistent") will be treated as a column which *will not be included* in the column selector.
* With the addition of some basic selector markup and css, this widget will also allow selecting (hiding or showing) table columns.
* Popups can also be targetted for addition of these selectors; [the demo](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-widget-column-selector.html) includes a Bootstrap popover sample.
* Css selectors are used to hide/show columns for optimal speed and therefore will not work in IE8 and older browsers.
* jQuery version 1.7+ and tablesorter verison 2.8+ are needed for this widget to work properly.
* Check out the [demo](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-widget-column-selector.html) with more details on how to setup this widget!
* Editable widget
* Refresh other widgets after a cell has been edited. Fixes [issue #487](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/487).
* Filter widget:
* Make operator match higher priority than exact matching. Fixes [issue #465](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/465).
* Fix " OR " is now matched case insensitive.
* The `filter_cssFilter` option can now contain an array of class names to be applied to each filter input; added in addition to the "tablesorter-filter" class name.
* Start filter values are now preserved. Fixes [issue #452](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/452).
* Removed `filter_anyMatch` option - sorry about not deprecating this first!
* Added a `filter_external` option which is set to a jQuery selector string of inputs, outside of the table, to be used for searching table content.
* External inputs must have a `data-column="x"` attribute where `"x"` is the associated column to filter; `"x"` can also be set as `"any"` to match any column.
* All filters, internal and external, now automatically update and be used with the `$.tablesorter.getFilters` and `$.tablesorter.setFilters` functions.
* Please refer to the documentation for the [`filter_external` option](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/index.html#widget-filter-external) for more details.
* Also check out the updated [filter widget external option](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-widget-filter-any-match.html) and [filter widget external inputs](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-widget-filter-external-inputs.html) demos.
* This fixes issues [#114](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/114), [#370](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/370), [#471](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/471) and [#490](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/490).
* Parsers with a `parsed: true` flag will now automatically force the filter widget to only search through parsed data instead of actual table cell data
* This is needed specifically for parsers of input, textarea and select elements.
* All parsers within the "parser-input-select.js" file have been updated with this parameter.
* This flag is essentially does the same thing as adding a class name of `filter-parsed` to the column header, or `filter: "parsed"` setting to the [`headers` option](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/#headers).
* Filter Formatter (Filter widget extension):
* These updated filter widget functions are not completely backward compatible with older versions of the filter widget. Please update both!
* Added `compare`&`selected` options:
* These options allow the adding of a comparison operator selector to the cell (e.g. `>`, `>=`, `<`, `<=`, etc).
* If any `cellText` is included, it is now wrapped in a label with a class name of "compare-select-label" and "compare-select-label#" (where "#" is the column index).
* The selector has a class name of "compare-select" and "compare-select#" (where "#" is the column index)
* Whichever type of input that is added to the cell is then wrapped in a div with class "compare-select-wrapper" and "compare-select-wrapper#" (where "#" is the column index).
* These class names allow styling of an individual filter to keep elements in line, or however you wish to style it.
* Filter reset now sets these filters to their default values, not an empty string.
* Updated to now properly restore saved filters.
* Added `endOfDay` option for jQuery UI Datepicker.
* When `true` search dates will include all times from the date chosen when a comparison is made of dates "less than" the set date.
* Example 1: if a table entry has a date of "Jan 14, 2014 11:23 AM" and the filter search is set to `<= 1/14/2014`, the table entry will be included in the search; the default set time would otherwise be "1/14/2014 00:00:00" and not include the entry from "11:23 AM". So, the `endOfDay` option sets the time to "23:59:59".
* Example 2: if searching for one specific date, this option will now search for all times within that day. For example, searching for `=1/20/2014`, and the results will include dates from 1/20/2014 00:00:00 to 1/20/2014 23:59:59.
* When comparing dates greater than the set date, the time will be set to midnight; so this option will not be applied.
* Example 3: in two date inputs, the `endOfDay` time is only applied to the "to" input; search for `1/20/2014 - 1/20/2014`
* This option is available in both the comparison (one input) and range (two inputs; "to" date input only) date pickers.
* Fixes [issue #325](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/325) and [issue #430](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/430).
* Group widget:
* Attempt to fix ajax issue. See [issue #437](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/437).
* Combining group widget with pager should now work properly. Fixes [isse #437](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/437).
* The widget will now find the correct header cell when multiple thead rows are present.
* Pager (plugin & widget):
* Fixed pager issues with empty tables
* When existing rows are removed from the table, the pager display will no properly update to show zero total rows.
* When starting from an empty table and content is added, all widgets are refreshed
* When updating the table via an update method, the filter search will now be applied properly.
* Fixes issues [#426](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/426) & [#455](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/455)
* Added custom storage keys. Thanks to [eire1130](https://github.com/eire1130); see [pull request #480](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/pull/480) & [issue #481](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/481).
* Added a public show error function `$.tablesorter.showError( table, message );`
* Pass this function the table DOM element or jQuery object in `table`
* The message can either be a string with a message ("table refuses to cooperate")
* or, the message can be an HTML string of an entire table row (`'<tr><tdcolspan="' + table.config.columns + '">yeah, instead of showing your data... I am taking a nap</td></tr>'`)
* If the message is blank, all error rows are removed
* Please note that this function was added to both the pager widget & pager plugin; In the next major release, this function will be separate from both, and can be included in the build.
* All theme files included a minor update with this change.
* Added accessibility attributes to the pager.
* Fix jsHint warnings.
* Resizable widget
* Fix reported js error.
* The resizable reset function `$.tablesorter.resizableReset(table);` now accepts jQuery objects.
* Sticky headers widget
* Select boxes work again within sticky headers. Fixes [issue #473](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/473).
* Browser will scroll to table top after filtering.
* This only occurs if the sticky header is active and after a filter is applied.
