Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year to all our customers and friends around the world and thank you for your support.

AnyChart keeps moving forward - this year we have significantly improved our HTML5/JavaScript engine, making it almost as functional as the Flash version, introduced seven releases, implemented a number new features, and successfully survived the end of the world. The circle of our customers has widened: here is only a small part of them - those who agreed to make success stories with us.

According to statistics, 75% of resolutions made by Americans are maintained during the first week of the new year, past two weeks - 71%, after one month - 64%, and after 6 months - only 46%:

AnyChart’s resolution is to continuously refine our products and provide the best support. We are sure to hold out the whole year

We are glad to announce that AnyChart 6.0.11 is now available for download. Our team keeps improving the HTML5 engine and broadening the range of features supported by it. We have also made a number of important bug fixes both for the HTML5 and Flash engine.

New HTML5 features:

• Radar plots
  A radar plot is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data. Variables are represented on axes starting from the same point, where the relative position and angle of the axes is uninformative. It is also known as spider chart, star chart, kiviat diagram, etc. AnyChart allows displaying three types of series on radar charts: Line, Area and Marker.
• Polar plots
  A polar plot is a plot drawn on a circular grid, showing trends in values on the basis of angles: each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a fixed point and an angle from a fixed direction. AnyChart allows drawing Line, Area and Marker series on polar plots.
• Indicator and Bulb gauges
• Label gauges
• Circular gauges (now fully supported)

HTML5 bug fixes:

• The getInformation() method obfuscation problem with Gauge charts is fixed.
• Axis Crossing attribute problems are fixed.
• Bar/Line overlay problems are fixed.

Flash bug fixes:

• Flex component no longer throws an error when the legend is enabled in charts.

• Marker series are now properly animated.

And the last, but not the least: we have solved the problem with maps in Chrome. Pepper Flash Chrome plugin peculiarities make it impossible for AnyMap of earlier versions to work properly, and there is only way to avoid this for sure: upgrade to AnyChart 6.0.11.

We are proud to announce the release of AnyChart Stock and Financial Charts 1.7.0. We have made some significant changes and added a number of new features. Some of the improvements impact the default settings. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these changes prior to deploying.

The most important changes are in Fibonacci annotations settings and defaults: they have new defaults and are displayed in a new, different, and better way. Level labeling has been added and enabled by default. Fibonacci Fan now shows not only price levels but also time levels and a grid. If you upgrade to 1.7.0 and use Fibonacci annotations, you will see changes in your charts. However, you can revert to the old view by specifying additional settings in your configuration files.

Additionally, the <export> node is deprecated and replaced by the <export_settings> node, so it is strongly recommended to review your configuration files and make the necessary changes. In JSON configuration this replacement means: export turns into exportSettings. These changes are made to avoid problems with the objectModel chart property in Internet Explorer.

New features

• Fibonacci drawing tools have been significantly improved: you can tune the number and ratios of levels, add level labels, and so on. See:
  • Fibonacci Arc
  • Fibonacci Fan
  • Fibonacci Retracement
  • Fibonacci Time Zones Annotation
• New positioning features for Event Markers: now you can place them below series and take into account series values. See Event Markers: Positioning for more.
• New Y Axes scale attributes: scale_start_ratio and scale_end_ratio. They provide a way to overlay charts in a nice way, and are particularly useful when one wants to display a Volume chart on the same plot with a Price chart. See Y Axes Settings: Limiting Scale Draw Region for more.
• New Y Axes scale attrbutes: soft_minimum and soft_maximum. They provide additional tuning options for scale auto calculation modes. See Y Axes Settings: Soft Minimum and Soft Maximum: Tuning Auto Calculation.

Improvements

• The <export> node is deprecated due to the problems it gave when trying to obtain the objectModel property in Internet Explorer. Please use the <export_settings> node instead.
• The logarithmic axis minimum auto calculation is improved.

Bug fixes

• The Scroller thumbnail series no longer displays missing values at the end of a data set as zeros.
• A separated tooltip pin no longer breaks when a zero length range is selected.
• Event markers are properly bound to series fields.
• Flex version no longer throws the errors which occasionally presented themselves while working with the component.
• Fibonacci Arcs geometry issues are fixed.
• Flex iOs mouse over problems are fixed.
• The enabled attribute of the <line> subnode of major and minor grids in axes now works properly.

AnyChart 6.0.8 is available for download. We keep improving our HTML5 engine and fixing the bugs discovered there. We would also like to draw your attention to Vertical and Horizontal Gauges, this instrument being absolutely necessary if you want to show Key Performance Indicators and Bullet Graphs in Scorecards and Dashboards. As for basic chart types, we have added a couple of useful features, without which it is sometimes very difficult to go.

HTML5 engine now supports:

• Vertical and Horizontal Gauges
• the TreeMap plot
• Aqua styles for 2D Pie and 2D Doughnut chart types
• 3D Pie and 3D Doughnut chart types

New labels features:

• Added the possibility to set a fixed width for Y-axis labels.
