Link to test case:
https://github.com/DataTables/DataTables/tags

Description of problem:
In github last version of the datatables is 1.10.21. Latest stable version of datatables is https://cdn.datatables.net/releases.html 1.11.3.

Packagist (https://packagist.org/packages/datatables/datatables) is using github - so the last version available from composer package manager is also 1.10.21.

Could You repair the synchronization between Your site and github?

    The /DataTables/DataTables repo is actually legacy. They should be synced, so I'll look into that, but the package you want to use is datatables.net/datatables.net from this repo which is our distribution repo.

    Why there are any other versions but only dev-master in the official repo?

    Legacy. To better support package managers and DataTables' ability to support multiple styling frameworks we moved to a method of having a core library package and then a styling library package for that core. But doing that with the legacy one would have broken backwards compatibility for it. It was safer to create new ones.

    As I say, the legacy one should be synced up, so one of our scripts is failing somewhere, which I need to look at and will do for the next release, but it might be a good opportunity to move to the "new" style packages.

    @allan new version of datatables came out lately - but package (datatables/datatables) on packagist is still out-of-date.

    Is there any hope for update there or I need change composer.json to use datatables.net/datatables.net instead of datatables/datatables?
