Should I be using 1.10 or stick with 1.9?
Should I be using 1.10 or stick with 1.9?
I am in the process of creating a new site with extensive DataTable usage... I have a ways to go yet before the site will be in production... just wondering if I should go ahead and start working with 1.10 now rather than 1.94? How far away is 1.10 from being 'released'? I am trying to limit extensive changing down the road. It doesn't make much sense to me to do all this work with 1.94 only to be changing it extensively soon after.
Any information would be helpful. From the brief time I looked at 1.10 it seems to be quite different than current, however, I am a little concerned about there being no documentation/examples yet to help me along the way.

Personally, I'd use 1.10 - as its new API is the way forward for DataTables as a whole. However, as you note, there is currently no documentation for 1.10's new API... I'm actively working on that as fast as possible and hope to have a preview up early next week. If you can wait that long, I'd go with that.
1.10.0 release is going to be about a month after the beta is released, so perhaps mid-February.

Thanks for the information Allan... I think I will take a look at 1.10 again today and see if its something I might be able to work with. I guess the other question I should have asked is if the plugins will be updated as well... in particular TableTools when 1.10 is out?

Any ideas? I did not modify the server-side processing script or the ssp.class.php other than entering my own db connection settings.
The old method is still available and will automatically be used when sAjaxSource is used as the parameter to specify the Ajax URL. It can also be enabled using `$.fn.dataTable.ext.legacy.ajax = true;` .
As such, it is fully backwards compatible, but if you update to use `ajax` then you must also update the server-side scripts (unless you specify the legacy flag).
This is noted in the documentation I have been writing for 1.10, which will be published soon.
