IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE for users prior to Oct 24, 2017

The original code by fheider is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, which was made apparent by a recent addition to the CakePHP documentation. The vulnerability is fixed by a breaking change in all branches in this repository. It affects the ordering and filtering functionality of DataTables in conjunction with server-side processing. If you are using a prior version of this plugin, you need to update it immediately and, if needed, change your code to allow ordering and filtering with server-side processing., _(*4)
