Feature suggestion: download configuration record

steerider

I downloaded DataTables a couple years ago. Now I'm back and see there have been some updates, so I want the new version. I go to the Download page, and there are a whole bunch of options to choose from. The problem is I don't know what options I used the last time.

My suggestion is that the download package includes a README that lists what settings I chose. Either that, or (even better!) a GET-based URL that will take me straight to the pate with the same settings chosen.

If this had existed when I first started using DataTables, it would save me a lot of time and messing around today.

Thanks for a great bit of code. DataTables rocks!
