Highcharts v4.1.0

Core v4.1.0 ·
  • Added polygon series type.
  • Added e.category event argument in drilldown events to make it clear when a category is clicked. Related to #3771.
  • Added new option to the data module, firstRowAsNames.
  • Added new option, pointIntervalUnit, in order to allow months and years as point intervals. Closes #3329.
  • Added beforePrint and afterPrint events. Related to #2284 and #3729.
  • Added new method, Series.removePoint, to allow removing points that are not instanciated on demand.
  • Added new option, global.getTimezoneOffset, to allow integration with third party timezone libraries like moment-timezone.js.
  • Added new Axis option, tickAmount. Refactored alignTicks on multi-axis charts to first compute a tickAmount, then make all axes comply with that.
  • Added new Axis option, autoRotation as an array of possible values.
  • Added new callback option, tooltip.pointFormatter.
  • Added polar support for arearange. Issue #3419.
  • In solid gauges, added support for initial animation as well as setting animation object for updates. Closes #3135.
  • Made the entire numberFormat method settable and wrappable from the outside.
  • Made tooltip.followTouchMove true by default, and allowed page scroll at the same time.
  • Implemented support for “contrast” color setting in data labels. When the data label is inside a shape (like a column), this will ensure the best readability.
  • On category axes, let the crosshair width cover the whole category like a band.
  • Refactored zIndex handling on SVGElements so that the zIndex can also be modified after the element is first added.
  • Changed the Axis.tickPositioner callback so that the default tick positioning logic runs first, to allow modification in the tick positioner instead of creating positions from scratch. Closes #3538.
  • Made the legend draw below or above the plot area in cases where it is placed in a corner and the layout is horizontal.
  • Implemented algorithm for setting precise tooltip xDateFormat when needed, but general format like year, month, day etc. when the time falls on midnight and the closest point range dictates it. Related to #3329.
  • New default behaviour for the xAxis.minTickInterval option on datetime axis. It now goes to the closest point range by default.
  • Implemented silent degradation instead of error 19 when user options dictate too many ticks on an axis.
  • Removed overflow:justify logic. Instead, move labels and add ellipsis in case of overflow.
  • Export server: Adapted to PhantomJS 2.
  • Export server: Implemented XSS filter.
  • Fixed error on applying stacking to area range series.
  • Partly fixed #3506, overlapping axis labels on polar chart.
  • Fixed waterfall issue where the upColor stayed after updating point to negative. Related to #3710.
  • Don’t allow decimals on yearly X axis.
