Spotlight: StandardTableView

This week, we added the StandardTableView widget, to display large amounts of data in columns and rows. StandardTableView comes with all the popular nifty features: displaying column headers, supports editable text cells, and sorts columns in ascending or descending order.

Next steps include adding support for resizable columns, advanced cell types like CheckBoxes and ComboBoxes.
