* Because of the change to the internal cache, the tablesorter v2.16+ core, filter widget and pager (both plugin & widget) will only work with the same version or newer files.
* 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.
* Search the [issues](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues) to see if the question or problem has been brought up before, and hopefully resolved.
* If someone is available, ask your question in the `#tablesorter` IRC channel at freenode.net.
* Ask your question at [Stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/tablesorter) using a tablesorter tag.
* Please don't open a [new issue](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues) unless it really is an issue with the plugin, or a feature request. Thanks!
* Update [sticky headers widget demo](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-widget-sticky-header.html) to include the `stickyHeaders_filteredToTop` option
* ColumnSelector widget: updated css to include print media for the new print widget.
* Update [`textSorter` option demo](http://mottie.github.io/tablesorter/docs/example-option-custom-sort.html) - the sorting the Icelandic alphabet using sugar's array sort now works properly.
* Core:
* Fix `headers` option indexing of cells in multiple header rows
* Setting an index in the multiple row header will now correctly set the column parser.
* See [this demo](http://jsfiddle.net/Mottie/abkNM/2645/) - the 10th cell (zero-based index) in the header has the sorter set to "month".
* Set processing icon to only show after 500ms, it will not show at all if the sort ends before then.
* Check for jQuery's `closest` function and use it, or fall back to equivalent code (maintaining support for jQuery 1.2.6+). Fixes [issue #597](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/597).
* Remove widget init delay added in v2.16.1-beta.
* Filter:
* Remove old cached indexing:
* It was causing already filtered rows to return an incorrect cached row value.
* Fixes [issue #600](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/600) & see this [Stackoverflow question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/23384787/145346).
* Update check for "filter-parsed" class, because the `getData` function will only return the first class name starting with "filter-".
* Filter select updates:
* Add `filter-select-nosort` header class name to prevent select option sorting.
* Filter select option sort now uses the assigned column parser to parse & sort the options.
* Filter select options are now sorted using the `textSorter` function, if set, and if not set, it falls back to natural sorting.
* Input select parser: don't update columns with both sorter & filter disabled. See [issue #570](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/570).
* Add question section to readme about where to ask questions, including the new IRC channel.
* Update jQuery UI accordion code to reapply widgets to tables within the section, when open.
* Build widget
* Now works with HTML in the data
* Add zebra widget to demos.
* Core
* Check more than the first tbody when detecting parsers. Fixes [issue #589](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/589).
* Apply widgets on table initialization after a short delay.
* Filter widget:
* Fix search already filtered rows
* Fix `filteredRows` count & cleanup.
* SetFilters now behaves more like a triggered search. Fixes [issue #588](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/588).
* Filterformatter - Fix both datepicker scripts to work properly with non-U.S. formats. Fixes [issue #587](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/587).
* Pager: Now stays on the same page after updating. Fixes [issue #590](https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/issues/590).
* Testing: Add some preliminary tests for the filter widget.
