Going to version 4 #56

Closed stockiNail closed 3 years ago

stockiNail commented 4 years ago

We are going to embed new CHART.JS version 3.0.0. This is forcing us to change a major release due to the amount of breaking changes that new version of CHART.JS is introducing.

There is a specific branch, named chartjs3.0.0 where all new implementations are coded, aligned with CHART.JS 3.0.0.

You can see the progress HERE.

Apart all breaking changes and new features, since version 4.0, chartjs/chartjs-plugin-annotation won't embed anymore because unmaintained.

Nevertheless Charba v4.0 will provide a very similar plugin, completely written in Java, where only few code changes will be needed in order to port the chartjs/chartjs-plugin-annotation in use to the new one.

In the current master, Datalabels plugin has been imported from a pepstock-org/chartjs-plugin-datalabels fork where the plugin has been changed in order to work with CHART.JS 3. This is a temporary solution waiting for the upgrade of the original plugin by the community.

CHART.JS 3 will drop the IE11 support and then Charba has dropped as well.

After a collaboration with the community which is managing the chartjs/chartjs-plugin-annotation, the plugin has been embedded in Charba again.
