Release 1.4.1

  • BUGFIX: Fixed incorrect cross-dependency inheritance in options/series_generator.create_series_obj() (#36)

Release 1.4.0

  • MAJOR performance gains in the .to_js_literal() method. Implementation seems to improve performance by 50 - 90%.

  • SIGNIFICANT performance gains in the .to_json() method. Implementation seems to improve performance by 30 - 90%.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Significantly simplified use of the .from_pandas() method to support:

    • creation of multiple series from one DataFrame in one method call

    • creation of series without needing to specify a full property map

    • support for creating series by DataFrame row, rather than just by DataFrame column

  • ENHANCEMENT: Added the .from_pandas_in_rows() method to support creation of charts and series from simple two-dimensional DataFrames laid out in rows.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Added one-shot chart creation and rendering from Series objects.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Added one-shot chart creation using series and data/series_type keywords.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed instability issues in Jupyter Notebooks, both when operating as a Notebook (outside of Jupyter Lab) and when saved to a static HTML file.

Release 1.3.0

  • ENHANCEMENT: Modified the way that data points are serialized to JavaScript literal objects. Now, they are serialized to a JavaScript array if their configured properties are those that Highcharts (JS) supports in JavaScript array notation. Otherwise, the code falls back to serialize the data point as a JavaScript object literal. This change is intended to improve performance and reduce the size of the serialized data. (#25)

  • ENHANCEMENT: Added __repr__() method for Highcharts Core for Python classes.

  • ENHANCEMENT: Added __str__() method with special handling for difficult-to-read classes.
