Hi,

are there plans to move DT to datatables v2? The new search API of v2 looks very interesting.

best wishes!

That would be interesting, but on the other hand I would be embarrassed if the codes creating a DT table with custom JavaScript will no longer work. Maybe a package DT2 would be more appropriate?..

If datatables has a V2 version, there is a big risk of breaking changes. A DT2 package would be indeed more appropriate. (I have lot of pages using DT datatables).
