Laying Pipes

This is a pretty major update that includes an all new jQuery client side plugin, support for composite primary keys, custom queries, handling of the auto-increment field, and a new template that makes getting started much easier. I’ve also put the whole project on GitHub and added a new UserVoice page for support.

This release is mostly an update in how pagination is handled. First, the js-based sorting on a per-page level was rather counter intuitive. Second, new rows can now only be added on the last page… I’ve also added pgUp and pgDown as shortcut keys that take you to the different pages.

TableGear 1.5 now allows you to add new rows! Without a doubt, this was the most highly requested feature for the next release. When I first envisioned TableGear, it seemed more of a data sorting script with a few editing features thrown in. At the time, it made semantic sense (in an XHTML standards way) to handle new rows with a separate form.
