Version 2.20

Version 2.20.1 (2/20/2015)

Filter: Fixed a major issue with the filter widget not working properly.

Version 2.20.0 (2/20/2015)

Grunt build process
- Added code to use npm & grunt to build a custom widget file.
- An example.json file has been added as an example of how to set up a custom build file; see the Customize wiki page for more details.
- With each build, the following occurs:
  - jquery.tablesorter.js is copied to the dist/js folder.
  - All less files are copied to the dist/css/less folder.
  - All images, including the pager icons, is copied into the dist/css/images folder.
  - A jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js file is created from the selected widgets into the dist/js folder, then copied back to the js folder to allow jsFiddle demos to continue working.
  - A .min.js file is created for the core & widget file in the dist/js folder, then all parsers & widgets are compressed separately in the dist/js/parsers and dist/js/widgets folder, respectively.
  - A .min.css file is created for all themes, dragtable, filter-formatter & pager styles.
  - The black-ice theme within the distribution folder is renamed to theme.blackice.min.css (no dash). See issue #785.
- Files - the following changes to files have been made for the Grunt build process (this might break a few jsFiddle demos):
  - jquery.metadata.js has been moved into the js/extras folder.
  - jquery.tablesorter.widgets-filter-formatter.js
    - moved to the js/widgets folder
    - Broken into two files, and renamed to widget-filter-formatter-html5.js and widget-filter-formatter-jui.js.
  - jquery.tablesorter.widgets-filter-formatter-select2.js
    - Moved into the js/widgets folder.
    - Renamed to widget-filter-formatter-select2.js
  - jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js
    - Has been broken up into separate widget files: widget-column.js, widget-filter.js, widget-resizable.js, widget-saveSort.js, widget-stickyHeaders.js, widget-storage.js and widget-uitheme.js.
    - A default build creates a file of the above widgets combined in the dist/js folder.
    - A copy of this newly created combined widget file is then copied back to the js/ folder to allow external demos (jsFiddle) to still work.
Resolve jQuery unbinding issue
- When unbinding events in jQuery versions 1.7 to 1.8, if an event list contains double spaces
```
$('table').unbind('a  b');
```
  all events will be removed from that element (see this demo)!
- Unbinding of events updated in the Core plugin & pager addon, and the following widgets: cssStickHeaders, editable, filter, formatter, math, staticRow & stickyHeaders.
Modified config.cache to only include non-info only tbodies.
- This modification effects the core & the following widgets: chart, filter, grouping, pager (widget & addon).
- Thanks to prijutme4ty for working on this change.
- See pull request #822 for more details.
Core
- Add cssNoSort option. Add the class name from that option to any element within a header will prevent a click on that element and any containing elements from causing a sort.
- Remove cssAllowClicks option. It wasn't working as intended and actually prevented sorting. It was replaced by it's opposite, the cssNoSort option.
- Make core work with jQuery v1.2.6, again.
- Make getElementText function public; with a bug fix from prijutme4ty in pull.
Docs
- Add a css column & row highlighting demo.
- Update jQuery UI & remove "latest" from the file name.
Filter
- Prevent javascript error when empty rows (<tr></tr>) are included in the tbody. Fixes issue #819.
- Prevent javascript error when performing an "any-match" search triggered on the table without an included external data-column="all" input.
- Ensure that an "any-match" search is a string value.
- Added "any-match" specific column search by using #:{query} where # is a one-based column index and {query} is the query. Thanks to MaksimProgr for providing the code in pull request #817. This also fixes issue #747.
- Added filter_columnAnyMatch option to allow disabling the "any-match" specific column search.
Pager
- Fix initial start page default for the widget only.
- Update pager ajaxProcessing code demo to prevent unordered JSON keys from adding content to incorrect columns. Fixes issue #818.
Parsers
- Fix checkbox parser, in the parser-input-select.js file, so that it now properly updates when changed.

Version 2.19

Version 2.19.1 (2/9/2015)

Core
- Replace all double quote with a single - OCD made me do it!
- Save raw table cell text (unparsed) into the cache.
Core/Widgets
- Fix a problem with event unbinding when using jQuery versions 1.7 & 1.8.
- When an unbind (or off) event string contains an untrimmed or central double space, all events on the element become unbound.
- See jQuery bug or this demo.
- Updated the core, and the cssStickyHeaders, editable, filter, formatter, math, pager (addon & widget), staticRow widgets and stickyHeaders widgets.
Chart
- Add more data points.
Filter

Version 2.19.0 (2/7/2015)

Core
- Add AMD/browserify support; See pull #786, thanks to mwiencek!
- Resort variable can now contain a new sort. See issue #782.
- Prevent resort when serverSideSorting is true. Fixes issue #764.
- Add resort option. It is used as the fallback value when no resort parameter is included with the "updateAll", "update", "addRows" and "updateCell" methods.
- Add removeWidget function which calls the widget remove function & removes the named widget from the config.widget option.
- A refreshing parameter was added to the widget remove function; when true it indicates that a refreshWidgets method was triggered and that the widget will only be temporarily removed.
- Make fixColumnWidth a public function ($.tablesorter.fixColumnWidth). Calling it will refresh set column widths dynamically. See issue #680.
- The default textExtraction function has been optimized - node.innerText was completely removed as it is significantly slower in IE.
- Modified the "updateCell" method to not reapply widgets if the resort parameter is false; this may resolve issue with widgets causing elements to lose focus.
- Updated the refreshWidgets to use the removeWidget function. Once the widgets have been refreshed a "refreshComplete" event will be triggered.
- Updated applyWidget function to allow passing a callback function.
- Prevent adding multiple icons on refresh.
- Trim header text added to aria label.
- The updateAll method no longer restores headers since it is only refreshing.
- Fix parser check while building cache which can cause unresolving parsers in case the first tbody is empty and remaining tbodies have less rows than a number of tbody. See pull #814. Thanks prijutme4ty!
Docs
- Specify pager's pageSet method requires a one-based index value.
- Miscellaneous corrections & fixes. Thanks prijutme4ty!
- Remove uitheme widget option (it was removed in v2.14.0, but not properly documented). Pertinent information on how to modify the uitheme widget class names was moved to the core theme documentation.
- Add a new pager variables section which contains some useful variables within the pager object (table.config.pager).
- Update "jQuery data" demo to show the difference between setting a data-attribute and jQuery data directly.
- Add api documentation for using the getColumnData function.
Parsers
- Add countdown parser (hh:mm:ss) - demo included with the duration parser.
- Update input-select parser to use the resort option.
Widgets (general)
- Build widget & storage extension: Pass "null" to $.parseJSON as a fallback. Fixes issue #586.
- Update remove widget function for columnSelector, cssStickyHeaders, math, pager, repeatHeaders, saveSort & stickyHeaders.
- Widgets removed from beta: alignChar, columnSelector, math, output, print, reflow & staticRow.
AlignChar:
- Don't add align character when no content is right of it. Prevents adding a hanging decimal, e.g. 3000..
Chart widget (New; beta):
- Generic chart widget used to basically extract data from the table and output in multiple formats.
- Current chart libraries supported: Google charts, Highcharts & FusionCharts.
- Some additional processing may be required to add extra variables (graph colors, labels, etc).
- A demo is available here.
- An example of this widget is also available here.
- Thanks to TheSin- for creating this widget!
ColumnSelector:
- Fix column index issue, again.
- The refreshColumnSelector method has been updated to accept a parameter (get more details):
  - If an array of zero-based column indexes is passed by this method, "auto" mode will be disabled & only columns within the array will be shown - critical or disabled columns will always be shown.
  - If a non-array is passed by this method, the "auto" mode will be enabled.
  - Fixes issue #798.
- A change in "auto" checkbox now triggers a "columnUpdate" event.
Dragtable (New; beta)
- The dragtable jQuery UI widget adds column reordering to a table.
- This isn't a tablesorter widget, but a modification made to a jQuery UI widget to better integrate with tablesorter - demo.
- A modified version of dragtable has been included in the "extras" folder; this is a jQuery UI widget, not a tablesorter widget!
```
$(function () {
  $('table')
    .dragtable({
      dragHandle: '.table-handle',
      excludeFooter: true
    })
    .tablesorter({
      theme: 'blue',
      selectorSort: '.sort',
      widgets: ['zebra', 'filter']
    });
});
```
- This modified version, so far, allows column reordering to work with the filter & resizable widgets.
- Additional work will be required to get this jQuery UI widget to work with the scroller, columnSelector &amp stickyHeaders widgets.
- Fixes issue #781, and portions of issue #215 and #186.
Editable
- Update to add a editable_columnsArray which is created from the editable_columns option. When editable_columns contains a string (e.g. 0-3), this option will contain an array of zero-based column indexes.
- The dragtable mod widget can then use this option to rearrange and maintain editable columns properly.
Filter
- Hide filter row using the filtered class name (table.config.widgetOptions.filter_filteredRow).
- Select source, and unparsed filter text now priorities data from the textAttribute. Fixes issues with Formatter widget - see issue #812.
- Update select2 filterFormatter code to properly escape regexp characters. Fixes issue #796.
- Normalize table parameter for public functions.
Formatter (New; beta)

- Add pageAndSize method to set both the page & size.
- Add pagerUpdate method to force a pager update; even if no ajax parameters have changed. Fixes issue #801.
- Add cachedIndex variable which is useful if you need to find the currently visible rows within the pager in the internal cache (table.config.cache). See the documentation for an example.
- Update goto selector independently of other elements. Fixes issue #811.
- Modified to apply widgets & fire "pagerComplete" after the cache is built; this specifically applies to ajax tables.
Print
- Ignore columnSelector "auto" setting when columnSelector_mediaquery option is disabled (false). Fixes issue #808.
Reflow
- Trim stored header text.
Scroller
- Resizing & browser zooming should now show proper widths. Fixes issues #680 & #634.
UITheme

Docs: Fix change log links.
Filter: attached external select causing javascript errors. Fixes issue #702.

Version 2.17.6 (8/1/2014)

Core
- Adding a class name of parser-false to a column will now automatically set sorter-false and filter-false behavior.
- Add extractor type which allows giving a column two parsers, one to extract content from an input/select and the second to parse the extracted text. Thanks to TheSin-!
- Ensure custom parsed data adheres to the ignoreCase option.
- Add a delay to any sort if there is an update in progress. This prevents issues with a sort being applied causing duplicate rows to be added to the table, hopefully.
- The widthFixed option now finds both visible th and td cells within the first row of the tbody to set column width percentages.
- Ensure all rows have a set role for screen readers (role="row"). Fixes issue #690.

- Updated & added docs for $.tablesorter.filter.buildSelect function to allow external calls to modify filter select options.
- Update filter_selectSource to accept arrays instead of a function. This was documented as working, but it wasn't coded until now. Sorry!
- Add filter_selectSourceSeparator option:
  - Include a separator within the filter_selectSource array (e.g. "a-z|A through Z").
  - The text that is left of the separator is added to the option value, the the text on the right is added to the option text.
  - So "a-z|A through Z" becomes <option value="a-z">A through Z</option>.
  - Fixes issue #692.
- Add role="row" to the filter row. Fixes issue #697.
- Any match inputs now follow the filter_startsWith setting. See this Stackoverflow question.

Version 2.17.0 (5/22/2014)

Overall
- You can now target a column using a jQuery selector targeting the header cell (e.g. a class name, id or column index, as before).
- This works with the core options: headers, textExtraction.
- This also works with the widgets: filter_formatter, filter_functions, filter_selectSource and the headers options for filter & resizable.
- This change has not yet been implemented to the following options: textSorter, sortList, sortForce, sortAppend and numberSorter (will modify this option to target columns soon).
- What won't work is if you try to target the header using a filtering selector that uses an index, e.g. "th:eq()", ":gt()", ":lt()", ":first", ":last", ":even" or ":odd", ":first-child", ":last-child", ":nth-child()", ":nth-last-child()", etc.
Docs
- Switch from using CDN versions of jQuery, jQuery UI, Bootstrap, Sugar and Select2 instead of using protocol-relative URLs because they are a pain to use locally.
- Change style of "Update" tags to be slightly lighter than "New" tags.
- Updated reflow widget demo with demo tables in a resizable iframe, so the browser window no longer needs to be resized.
- Miscellaneous updates including correcting some version numbers, fixing links & other issues with the demos.
Themes
- Fix green theme to properly include a background with the css3 sticky headers widget.
Core
- Instead of using empty or clearing rows from the table, the rows are now detached. This also applies to the pager.
- Added resetToLoadState method
  - Using this method will clear out any settings that have changed since the table was initialized (refreshes the entire table); so any sorting or modified widget options will be cleared.
  - However, it will not clear any values that were saved to storage. This method is basically like reloading the page.
- Refer to columns in the headers and/or textExtraction option by class name, ID, or column index (as before).
```
headers : {
    '.first-name' : { sorter: 'text' },
    '.disabled'   : { sorter: false }
},
textExtraction : {
    '.styled' : function(node, table, cellIndex) {
        return $(node).find('strong').text();
    }
}
```
- Added new "sorton" method values: "a" (ascending), "d" (descending), "n" (next), "s" (same) & "o" (opposite).
```
// column 0: desc sort, column 1: asc sort
$("#table1").trigger("sorton", [ [[0,"d"],[1,"a"]] ]);
// column 0: next sort, column 1: opposite of column 0, column 2: same as column 0
$("#table2").trigger("sorton", [ [[0,"n"],[1,"o"],[2,"s"]] ]);
```
  Please refer to the Sort table using a link outside the table demo for more details.
ColumnSelector widget
- Added a method to refresh the selected columns using $('table').trigger('refreshColumnSelector');.
- Fix a js error when removing the widget.

Filter widget

Fix child row filtering.
Fix filter-match searches.
Set filter parser or disable a filter in the headers option by referring to the header class name, ID, or column index (as before)
```
headers : {
    '.first-name' : { filter : false },
    '.last-name'  : { filter : 'parsed' }
}
```

Refer to filter_functions, filter_formatter and filter_selectSource columns by class name, ID, or column index (as before)

filter_functions : {
    ".col-date" : {
        "< 2004" : function (e, n, f, i) {
            return n < Date.UTC(2004, 0, 1); // < Jan 1 2004
        },
        ...
    }
},
filter_formatter : {
    ".col-value" : function($cell, indx){
      return $.tablesorter.filterFormatter.uiSpinner( $cell, indx, {
        ...
      });
    }
},
filter_selectSource : {
    ".model-number" : [ "abc", "def", "ghi", "xyz" ]
}

Math widget
- Now works properly with the pager. Fixes issue #621.
Output widget
- Add output_ignoreColumns option. Set the zero-based index of the columns to ignore in this array. Fixes issue #607
- Add config parameter to output_callback function. NOTE: this parameter is added before the data parameter, so it may break any already existing custom callback functions.
- Add output_duplicateSpans option. Setting this option to false adds blank entries instead of duplicating the colspan or rowspan content. Fixes issue #619.
Pager (addon & widget)
- Use detach instead of empty on tbody rows. This should save any data associated with the rows.
- Fix pager updating not showing correct totals.
Print widget
- Add print_callback option allowing manipulation of the table & stylesheet before printing.
- Corrected the print_columns settings comments.
Resizable widget
- Disable a resizable header within the headers option by referring to the column class name, ID, or column index (as before)
```
headers : {
    '.first-name' : { resizable: false }
}
```
- Added note about using box-sizing & jQuery versions older than 1.8.
Scroller widget
- Filter widget works with this widget again. Fixes issue #620.

  - Both of these options require the storage utility script contained within the jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js file.
  - Fullfils feature request of issue #514.
- Added details about using regular expressions within the group_separator option.
Header Titles widget (headerTitles)
- New widget which adds the current sort to the header title attribute.

- Compare totalRows vs. totalPages when preventing an ajax call.
- Changes to make the updateComplete event fire, but because of the asynchronous nature of ajax, it fires before any sortEnd events. It may take some more work to resolve this, if it becomes a concern.
- Attempted to fix pager row count issue. See issue #455.
Miscellaneous
- Pager custom controls (beta) now shows no pages on a single page. Fixes issue #518

Version 2.15.0 (2/19/2014)

Core
- Add accessibility attributes to tablesorter (aria).
- Make header's bindEvent function public to allow easier binding to cloned table headers.
- Add an unsorted header class name option cssNone (empty string by default) and now all unsorted headers will have a class name of tablesorter-headerUnSorted applied; updated destroy method to remove header unsorted class name.
- Ensure only "updateRow" is triggered within the pager plugin to prevent issues with Proptype.js, see issue #217.
- Clean up all public API functions to accept table as either a DOM element or a jQuery table object.
- The log will now display console errors and/or warnings based on those key words.
- Consolidated all default class names used by the plugin within $.tablesorter.css - these are class names that are not set by the options.
Docs
- Organize the examples section to make it easier to find the desired sort demo.
- Add associated tablesorter option (with link) with the appropriate examples.
- Add a "Custom parsers" section instead of lumping it in with the widgets.
- Add a "Work-in-progress" section for some beta demos.
- Add indicators to show which widgets are contained within the jquery.tablesorter.widgets.js file.
- Add an "API" section which gives details on how to use tablesorters available public variables & functions in both the core and widgets.
- Colorize the left border of code blocks to differentiate HTML, CSS and javascript.
- Update & consolidate jQuery UI accordion code.
- Miscellaneous demo fixes.
Parsers
- The "shortDate" parser now works properly with header colspans. Fixes issue #474.
- The "currency" parser will now properly detect currencies which include a plus or minus sign.
- The "checkbox" parser (contained in the parser-input-select.js file) will now toggle a class name of checked-# (# is the column index) on the row.
- A new parsed parameter has been added to the parser code block.
  - This parameter is set with a boolean value (i.e. true or false), to signal the filter widget to only search through parsed data when true.
  - All parsers within the "parser-input-select.js" file now include a parsed:true parameter.
  - The parsers and parsers-advanced demos have been updated to reflect this addition.
css Sticky headers widget:
- Add cssStickyHeaders_zIndex option. Fixes issue #466.
- Browser will now scroll to table top after filtering. Fixes issue #482.
Column selector widget (new!)
- This widget can make a table responsive. It uses similar parameters as those used by jQuery mobile to set priorities for hiding columns (uses "data-priority" attribute).
- The column priorities range from 1 to 6, with 1 having the highest priority. As the browser window shrinks, lower priority (higher numbers) columns will be hidden first until all numbered priority columns are hidden.
- Any named data-priority, other than the numbers 1 - 6, (e.g. "critical" or "persistent") will be treated as a column which will not be included in the column selector.
- With the addition of some basic selector markup and css, this widget will also allow selecting (hiding or showing) table columns.
- Popups can also be targeted for addition of these selectors; the demo includes a Bootstrap popover sample.
- Css selectors are used to hide/show columns for optimal speed and therefore will not work in IE8 and older browsers.
- jQuery version 1.7+ and tablesorter verison 2.8+ are needed for this widget to work properly.
- Check out the demo with more details on how to setup this widget!
Editable widget
- Refresh other widgets after a cell has been edited. Fixes issue #487.
Filter widget:
- Make operator match higher priority than exact matching. Fixes issue #465.
- Fix " OR " is now matched case insensitive.
- The filter_cssFilter option can now contain an array of class names to be applied to each filter input; added in addition to the "tablesorter-filter" class name.
- Start filter values are now preserved. Fixes issue #452.
- Filter formatter demo: Update jQuery UI & stylesheet - fixes UI spinner.
- Fix child rows always visible when filtering.
- Update beta demo - select2 external table filters demo, thanks to mohitmayank; see pull request #469.
- Add filter_hideEmpty option
  - Set this option to false to always show the filter row.
  - By default, the filter row is completely hidden when no rows exist within the tbody (previous behavior)
  - Fixes issue #450
- Rewrite filter match any column code
  - Removed filter_anyMatch option - sorry about not deprecating this first!
  - Added a filter_external option which is set to a jQuery selector string of inputs, outside of the table, to be used for searching table content.
  - External inputs must have a data-column="x" attribute where "x" is the associated column to filter; "x" can also be set as "any" to match any column.
  - All filters, internal and external, now automatically update and be used with the $.tablesorter.getFilters and $.tablesorter.setFilters functions.
  - Please refer to the documentation for the filter_external option for more details.
  - Also check out the updated filter widget external option and filter widget external inputs demos.
  - This fixes issues #114, #370, #471 and #490.
- Parsers with a parsed: true flag will now automatically force the filter widget to only search through parsed data instead of actual table cell data
  - This is needed specifically for parsers of input, textarea and select elements.
  - All parsers within the "parser-input-select.js" file have been updated with this parameter.
  - This flag is essentially does the same thing as adding a class name of filter-parsed to the column header, or filter: "parsed" setting to the headers option.
Filter Formatter (Filter widget extension):
- These updated filter widget functions are not completely backward compatible with older versions of the filter widget. Please update both!
- Added compare & selected options:
  - These options allow the adding of a comparison operator selector to the cell (e.g. >, >=, <, <=, etc).
  - If any cellText is included, it is now wrapped in a label with a class name of "compare-select-label" and "compare-select-label#" (where "#" is the column index).
  - The selector has a class name of "compare-select" and "compare-select#" (where "#" is the column index)
  - Whichever type of input that is added to the cell is then wrapped in a div with class "compare-select-wrapper" and "compare-select-wrapper#" (where "#" is the column index).
  - These class names allow styling of an individual filter to keep elements in line, or however you wish to style it.
- Filter reset now sets these filters to their default values, not an empty string.
- Updated to now properly restore saved filters.
- Added endOfDay option for jQuery UI Datepicker.
  - When true search dates will include all times from the date chosen when a comparison is made of dates "less than" the set date.
  - Example 1: if a table entry has a date of "Jan 14, 2014 11:23 AM" and the filter search is set to <= 1/14/2014, the table entry will be included in the search; the default set time would otherwise be "1/14/2014 00:00:00" and not include the entry from "11:23 AM". So, the endOfDay option sets the time to "23:59:59".
  - Example 2: if searching for one specific date, this option will now search for all times within that day. For example, searching for =1/20/2014, and the results will include dates from 1/20/2014 00:00:00 to 1/20/2014 23:59:59.
  - When comparing dates greater than the set date, the time will be set to midnight; so this option will not be applied.
  - Example 3: in two date inputs, the endOfDay time is only applied to the "to" input; search for 1/20/2014 - 1/20/2014
  - This option is available in both the comparison (one input) and range (two inputs; "to" date input only) date pickers.
- Fixes issue #325 and issue #430.
Group widget:
- Attempt to fix ajax issue. See issue #437.
- Combining group widget with pager should now work properly. Fixes isse #437.
- The widget will now find the correct header cell when multiple thead rows are present.
Pager (plugin & widget):
- Fixed pager issues with empty tables
  - When existing rows are removed from the table, the pager display will no properly update to show zero total rows.
  - When starting from an empty table and content is added, all widgets are refreshed
  - When updating the table via an update method, the filter search will now be applied properly.
  - Fixes issues #426 & #455
- Correct page calculation. Fixes issue #468.
- Added custom storage keys. Thanks to eire1130; see pull request #480 & issue #481.
- Added a public show error function $.tablesorter.showError( table, message );
  - Pass this function the table DOM element or jQuery object in table
  - The message can either be a string with a message ("table refuses to cooperate")
  - or, the message can be an HTML string of an entire table row ('<tr><td colspan="' + table.config.columns + '">yeah, instead of showing your data... I am taking a nap</td></tr>')
  - If the message is blank, all error rows are removed
  - Fulfills issue #486
  - Please note that this function was added to both the pager widget & pager plugin; In the next major release, this function will be separate from both, and can be included in the build.
  - All theme files included a minor update with this change.
- Added accessibility attributes to the pager.
- Fix jsHint warnings.
Resizable widget
- Fix reported js error.
- The resizable reset function $.tablesorter.resizableReset(table); now accepts jQuery objects.

Version 2.14.0 (11/19/2013)

Core

Changed sorting algorithms:
- Due to problems with sorting multiple columns improperly sorting algorithms again include code to sort empty cells.
- Internal sorting again has separate ascending and descending functions; but the previous $.tablesorter.sortNatural (ascending only), $.tablesorter.sortNumeric (ascending only) and $.tablesorter.sortText (ascending only) functions are still available.
- Custom text & numeric sort functions, added via textSorter and numberSorter options now require you to return the sort in the correct direction.
- Custom sort functions no longer have empty cells automatically handled for you.
- Fixes issue #419.
Added sortStable option which when true will sort exactly equal items by placing them in their original unsorted order (or, perform a stable sort).
Removed double icon class names.
Added tabIndex option
- When true, a tabindex is added to the headers for keyboard accessibility; this was previously always applied
- When false, table headers will not be included when tabbing through the page
- Fulfills issue #415.

Filter widget

Setting a filter to build a select no longer causes an error. Fixes issue #421.
Added filter_saveFilters option
- When true, this option saves the current filters using the storage utility (local storage with cookie fallback).
- This option is set to false by default.
- See issue #388.
Allow multiple external filter inputs
- The $.tablesorter.filter.bindSearch( $table, $external ) function now allows binding searches using the built-in functioning.
- The bind search function will unbind any previously bound keyup and search event listeners on the $external elements.
- External inputs must not have a tablesorter-filter class to distinguish them from internal filters.
- If not using the filter_anyMatch option, external filters can be set to target specific columns by including a data-column attribute.
- See the new filter external inputs demo.
Filter reset button clicks will again trigger a filterReset event. Fixes issue #423.

Grouping widget

Merged in fix for grouping widget + filter widget + child row widget.
- Updated demo with multi-child column styling.
- Thanks Xamamule in pull #414!
- This also fixes issue #422.
Renamed variables & cleanup
Added group_dateString function to format the date string for group-date header class name.

Zebra widget

Now skips removable rows added by other widgets, more specifically, it skips rows with a remove-me class name (set by the selectorRemove option).

Docs updates

Added a side menu with search to the main document page.
- The main documentation page now uses Bootstrap for some styles.
- Search includes a count with clear search, previous result and next result buttons.
- Search options included to find letters or whole words only, and choose if the search is case sensitive, or not.
- The advantage of this search over the browser's built-in search (Ctrl-F) is that this search will find text within the hidden content
- Indexing of the search results may not always be in order, i.e. "10/10" may not always be the lowest result on the page due to nested elements.
- Sorry, IE7 and older users, the search works but but is really slow. And the side menu styling leaves much to be desired (using Bootstrap).
jQuery UI theme selector updates. See issue #407.
Updated typos & css in various demos
Added Utility options section for options used by parsers, storage utility and pager ajax data.
Added removed options section.
- This applies to pager options available in the original version of tablesorter which are no longer supported.
- Fixes issue #416.
Added kbd styling for better visualization of keyboard keys.

Other

- $.tablesorter.storage( $('#mytable'), 'myvariable', 'YAY' );, or
- $.tablesorter.storage( $('#mytable')[0], 'myvariable', 'YAY' );
