After many delays, and further work on security issues, I have finally
deployed v45 on the gstatic server. This means that when you call
google.charts.load('*current*', ...) you will get v45. If you want to
continue using the previous version, you can change '*current*' to '*44*'.
There were a few changes more recently that were unannounced because they
should be mostly invisible, but one change in particular will be very
visible for anyone still using the old AnnotatedTimeline chart.
Here are the release notes for this version (also available
at https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/release_notes#upcoming)
- Loader changes:
- Support multiple calls of google.charts.load
- ChartWrapper
<https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/reference#chartwrapper-class>
instances
can be called with a dynamically loaded chartType.
- The GeoChart
<https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart>
and Map
<https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/map> chart
no longer require you to include the jsapi loader. There is a new
mapsApiKeyloader setting to let you specify your own key, rather than
get the default behavior which may result in occassional throttling of
service.
- Flash-based charts:
- For GeoMap and MotionChart, the swfobject.js has been updated to
use the latest version 2.2. There should be no visible changes in chart
features due to this update.
- For AnnotatedTimeline, we are now replacing it with the Annotation
Chart
<https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/annotationchart>,
which has been under development for a couple years, and appears stable.
Almost all the features of the AnnotatedTimeline should apply to the
AnnotationChart with no changes required in your code, although the look
and feel is different. The AnnotationChart uses no flash code, and is
built
on top of the Corecharts, ChartRangeFilter, and Table chart.
- Corecharts:
- Fixed certainty role so it works correctly with custom styles.
- Make accessibility table hide properly in rtl containers.
- Fix startup animation when used with ChartWrapper.
- Fix animation of discrete values that swap places.
- Construct Dates regardless what day of the month it is.
- Fix relative stacked area chart colors.
- Fix ColumnChart with log scale and 0 or negative values.
- PieChart
<https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/piechart>:
Fix inconsistent implementation of reverseCategories option.
- Calendar
<https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/calendar>:
Now uses more than two colors from the colorAxis.colors array option
when colorAxis.values is unspecified. The behavior should be more like
what happens in the GeoChart, where the inflection points are spread evenly
throughout the gradient.
- Material Charts: Fixed convertOptions for Material charts to use the
background color correctly.
- Map Charts
<https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/map> now
decouple the marker title text from the info window:
- Added new option 'showInfoWindow' to specifically control the info
window.
- Added new option 'showTooltip' to specifically control the marker
title text.
- Both options inherit from 'showTip' when not set.
- Bug fix: when clicking on a selected point, the info window will
now go away.
