Added support for global configuration and configuration groups, allowing:
to join together in one properties file a configuration which will be applied on all tables in the application
to put together table configurations inside multiple groups that can be then activated locally using tag attributes
you also plug your own configuration loader
Added an extension point for custom extensions (feature, plugin, theme) scanned at runtime
Improved sorting features: you can now apply sorting functions on columns: currency, natural sort, filesize, "anti-the",…
Improved filtering features
Filtering elements can be configured in different locations: after the thead, before the thead, in the tfoot or in an external form
Dandelion-Datatables now uses its own column filter plugin
Added support for AJAX exports using a new fluent API for building table from a data source

Added support for horizontal scrolling
Reduced needed third-party libraries (commons-lang removed)
Added plenty of comments and logs, removed plenty of dead code
Added support for dynamic attributes in <datatables:table> and <datatables:column> tags, allowing for example to use any of the native HTML table attributes like border
Improved JSP tags composition, allowing e.g. to nest Dandelion-Datatables and JSTL tags.
Added support for runtime expressions in all attributes of the JSP taglib
Removed the labels table attribute in favour of full Java-based i18n
New sortType column attribute, allowing you to apply different sorting function in columns
New url export attribute, allowing you to export a table using a custom URL.
New method export attribute, allowing you make the call to the export URL using the HTTP method you set
New filterPlaceholder table attribute, allowing you change the default filtering placeholder (tfoot) for all
New ext table attribute, allowing you activate multiple custom extensions
<script> and <link> generation is now optimized using Thymeleaf
Moved all previous export attributes from the <tbody> tag to the <thead> tag
Removed the dt:labels table attribute in favour of full Java-based i18n
New `dt:sortType %} th attribute, allowing you to apply different sorting function in columns
New dt:csv:url, dt:xml:url, dt:pdf:url, dt:xls:url and dt:xlsx:url thead attributes, allowing you to export a table using a custom URL
New dt:csv:method, dt:xml:method, dt:pdf:method, dt:xls:method and dt:xlsx:method thead attributes, allowing you make the call to the export URL using the HTTP method you set
New dt:ext table attribute, allowing you activate multiple custom extensions
</ul>
Spring dependencies are now marked as provided
Added ready-to-use SpringLocaleResolver and SpringMessageResolver to connect Dandelion-Datatables to the Spring i18n mechanism
Added DatatablesCriteriasMethodArgumentResolver allowing you to resolve a method argument of type DatatablesCriterias annotated with DatatablesParams (compatible with Spring 3.1+)

A default title is now always added
The XlsExport now implements the new DatatablesExport interface
