How to be sure to download the last DataTables version?

Hello,

I would like to know how to be sure that I am downloading the last version of DataTables when using download page (https://datatables.net/download)

The download page indicate v1.10.18 whereas the homepage you have v1.10.19

On CDN page (https://cdn.datatables.net/) and even on npm page (https://www.npmjs.com/package/datatables.net) you can download v1.10.19 (and rowGroup 1.0.4 also)

So, did you miss to update download page or is it normal?

Thanks in advance for your answer and have a nice day.

And thanks a lot for your great work on DataTables.net

    Correct. Intentionally though! In both of the cases you mention above (DataTables and RowGroup) the actual software is identical. The re-release was due to packaging issues for npm. Since the download builder takes up a heck of a lot of disk space and bandwidth, and in this case the software is identical, I've not updated the download builder.

    Thanks Allan for your answer.

    Just a little thing again.

    When you download all files / plugins from download web page you can see in DataTables.zip archive the folders Buttons-1.5.1 and Buttons-1.5.2.
    I suppose it is not normal isn't it?

    You are right - its not. I missed the column visibility version update which causes that issue. I've fixed it now. Thanks!
