jqGrid is a popular jQuery Plugin for displaying and editing data in tabular form. It has some other more sophisticated features, like subgrids, TreeGrids, grouping and so on.
jqGrid was developed originally by [Tony Tomov](https://github.com/tonytomov) and it was available under MIT/GPL-licenses till the version 4.7.0 published Dec 8, 2014 (see [here](https://github.com/tonytomov/jqGrid/tree/v4.7.0)). Short time after that the license agreement was changed (see here) and new 4.7.1 version was published.
The code from the GitHib repository is the fork of jqGrid 4.7.0 - the latest version available under MIT/GPL-licenses. It will be provided under MIT/GPL-licenses.
Below you can find short description of minor new features and the bug fixes implemented in free jqGrid 4.13.3 (compared with version 4.13.2). The version is developed by [Oleg Kiriljuk](https://github.com/OlegKi), alias [Oleg](http://stackoverflow.com/users/315935/oleg) on the stackoverflow and [OlegK](http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393) on trirand forum.
Read [Wiki](https://github.com/free-jqgrid/jqGrid/wiki) for more detailed information about the features of free-jqGrid. The preliminary version of the documentation can be found [here](http://free-jqgrid.github.io/).
Free jqGrid can be used *for free*. We still ask to contribute the development by donating via PayPal, if one have the possibility for it. One can donate by clicking on the following button [](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=JGTCBLQM2BYHG "Donate once-off to free jqGrid project using PayPal") or by sending money via PayPal to oleg.kiriljuk@ok-soft-gmbh.com with the comment "free jqGrid".

One can install the package with respect of [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/free-jqgrid) by using "npm install free-jqgrid", with respect of [bower](http://bower.io/search/?q=free-jqgrid) by using "bower install free-jqgrid" or from [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/free-jqGrid) by using "Install-Package free-jqGrid".
The package is published on [WebJars](http://www.webjars.org/) too and it's deployed to [Maven Central](http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cfree-jqgrid).
Free jqGrid is is available from [jsDelivr CDN](http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!free-jqgrid) and [cdnjs](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/free-jqgrid). Thus one can use it directly from Internet by including for example the URLs like
```html
```
or
```html
```
**The locale file is optional**. One can, but one don't need to include `grid.locale-en.min.js`, because the same information is already included in the `jquery.jqgrid.min.js` (or `jquery.jqgrid.src.js`).
If somebody want to test the *latest* version of free jqGrid, one can load it directly from GitHib using [RawGit](http://rawgit.com/) service:
```html
```
All other language files and plugins are available from CDN too. See [the wiki article](https://github.com/free-jqgrid/jqGrid/wiki/Access-free-jqGrid-from-different-CDNs) for more details about the usage of free jqGrid from CDNs and RawGit.
Remark: the above URLs will be available **after publishing** the release of the version of 4.13.3.
### Below one can see the full list of changes in the version 4.13.3 compared with 4.13.2:
* Bug fix in `filterToolbar` in case of usage legacy (`stringResult: false`) searching mode.
* Bug fix makes `setGroupHeaders` correct working if the grid is inside of hidden div (for example, inactive jQuery UI Tab).
* Extending `newGroup` parameter of `summaryType` of data grouping. The property `keys` is added to `newGroup` parameter of the callback function `summaryType` of grouping. See [the issue](https://github.com/free-jqgrid/jqGrid/issues/227) for more details.
* Bug fix of `showHideCol` to correctly process working with multiple grids.
* Improve the compatibility to old jqGrid in processing of XML input data which has no `id` attributes.
* Bug fix in CSS of legacy/simplified subgrids.
* Bug fix in highlighting of selected cells during cell editing.
* Add new `displayErrorMessage` method, which simplifies placing custom error information in the error div.
* Add support of frozen columns in `columnChooser`, `remapColumns`, `showCol`, `hideCol`, `showHideCol`. One can use `notSkipFrozen: true` to allow hiding/showing frozen columns. For example, `$(this).jqGrid("columnChooser", {notSkipFrozen: true});`.
* Bug fix in `sortableRows`. The bug exist in all free jqGrid in versions between version 4.10.0 and 4.13.2.
* Add callback function `summaryFormat` to `colModel` items. The callback will be used in grouping data.
