ApexCharts 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4: The Plugin API Grows Up

ApexCharts 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4: The Plugin API Grows Up

Three releases with one spine: the Weave plugin contract went from v1 to v5, so a plugin can tell what chart it is on, follow the viewer's pointer and ask for room to draw its own UI. Plus hexagon heatmap cells, a way back out of a zoom on a chart with no toolbar, and borderRadiusWhenStacked returning.

What's New in ApexCharts 7.1: Four Chart Types That Do Their Own Arithmetic

What's New in ApexCharts 7.1: Four Chart Types That Do Their Own Arithmetic

ApexCharts 7.1 adds streamgraph, waterfall, dumbbell and raincloud, four chart types that take the data you already have and do the arithmetic themselves. Two defaults change what an existing chart can look like: chart.print lays charts out again for the printed page, and bar slots on numeric or datetime axes now size from the axis.

What's New in ApexCharts 7.0: A Smaller Default, and Small Multiples in One Key

What's New in ApexCharts 7.0: A Smaller Default, and Small Multiples in One Key

ApexCharts 7.0 shrinks the default bundle by 13.6% by making nine rarely used features explicit imports, and adds Trellis: one dataset split into a grid of panels that agree to the pixel. Most projects upgrade with one install command; three defaults changed and one option was removed, each with a one-line fix.

What's New in ApexCharts 6.10.0: 39 Shapes a Count Can Take

What's New in ApexCharts 6.10.0: 39 Shapes a Count Can Take

ApexCharts 6.10.0 ships apexcharts/unit-shapes, a companion kit of 39 shapes a unit chart can pack its dots into: a heart, a house, a globe, a heartbeat trace, or the figure 1,024 drawn in 1,024 dots. Plus outer name labels, and an update() fix for options that change only a function.

What's New in ApexCharts 6.9

What's New in ApexCharts 6.9

ApexCharts 6.9 adds a histogram chart type, lets box plot and violin take raw observations, and rewrites the cross-type morph so marks travel instead of crossfading. Nested treemaps, async drilldown and a custom unit layout join them. Pie selection, grouped stacked totals and a new runtime dependency are worth checking before you upgrade.

One Key, One Palette, One Engine: ApexTree 2.1, ApexGantt 3.18 and ApexSankey 1.12

One Key, One Palette, One Engine: ApexTree 2.1, ApexGantt 3.18 and ApexSankey 1.12

ApexTree 2.1, ApexGantt 3.18 and ApexSankey 1.12 share one license slot, so a single setLicense call covers every Apex product on the page. The --apx-* design tokens now theme trees, gantt charts and sankey diagrams from :root, and destroy() stops the animation loop that every ApexTree and ApexSankey wrapper leaked on unmount.

What's New in ApexCharts 6.8

What's New in ApexCharts 6.8

ApexCharts 6.8 adds one capability: dataLabels.offsetX and offsetY accept a function, so a label can be nudged per data point instead of per chart. Everything else is a fix: CSP-safe SVG export, brush auto-scaling, threshold gradients and CSV export. Area sparklines lose the empty strip under the fill, the one visual change to check.

What's New in ApexSankey 1.11

What's New in ApexSankey 1.11

ApexSankey 1.11 adds animated update(), chord and alluvial projections of the same flow model, vertical orientation, circular links, five built-in themes, draggable nodes, particle flow, a plugin API with a typed event bus, and a before/after comparison split-view. It is fully additive: 1.10.0 code runs unchanged.

What's New in ApexTree 2.0

What's New in ApexTree 2.0

ApexTree 2.0 replaces the tear-down-and-rebuild render with a spring motion core, so collapse, expand, layout changes and data updates become transitions instead of cuts. It adds updateData() for live data, radial and dendrogram layouts, measured node heights, expandable cards, focus mode, semantic zoom and lazy children. Nothing was removed; four defaults changed.

What's New in ApexCharts 6.7

What's New in ApexCharts 6.7

ApexCharts 6.7 adds the sunburst chart, which draws tree-structured data as concentric rings and reads an existing drilldown config. It also brings rounded and spaced slices to the pie family, a parliament layout for the unit chart and tooltips on point annotations. Two behavior changes are worth checking first.

What's New in ApexMaps 0.3.0: Pattern Fills, Flow, and a Globe You Can Spin

What's New in ApexMaps 0.3.0: Pattern Fills, Flow, and a Globe You Can Spin

ApexMaps 0.3.0 adds pattern and image fills, beads that show which way a route flows, and an orthographic globe that spins under the pointer. The canvas renderer is gone, and two defaults change what an existing map does: zoom buttons appear, and a drag on a globe turns it. Each default is reversible in one option.
