Highcharts Suite Releases

• Added new options set, palette, making it easy to apply general design colors for light and dark mode. This replaces the former Adaptive theme.
• Added support for providing data as DataTable through the new options dataTable, series.dataTable and series.dataMapping.
• Updated gauge and solid-gauge series, including panes and radial y-axis, with more sensible defaults and major design facelift, making it easier for implementers and AI agents to create great looking gauges from minimal configuration.
• Refactored the data sorting functionality into a separate module, in order to simplify and reduce weight on the core script file.
• Improved entrance and exit animation of points and data labels when they are dynamically created, destroyed or zoomed in or out of view.
• Added the experimental autoload feature, loading required modules based on the chart configuration.
• Added customizable boundary ticks for datetime axes.
• Added new setting, contrast, for dataLabels.backgroundColor. Allows enhancing readability with a plain, semi-transparent background color. Extended the dataLabels.distance option to apply to more series types than previously.
• Added new option, chart.plotBorderRadius.
• Added new options set, tooltip.header, for better control over the header design in split tooltips.

Upgrade notes:

• Default pane layout and design for gauges and polar charts has gone through a major facelift.
• Solid gauge radius and innerRadius, when given as numeric values, defined on series or point level, no longer resolve as percents, but as pixels. To set it to a percent, use a percentage string like radius: '50%'.
• The dataSorting feature now requires the modules/data-sorting.js file.
• Default data label positions have changed slightly. Previously, the distance to the point or column was determined by padding and adjusted by x and y. Introduced new option, dataLabels.distance, in order to allow backgrounds with padding without touching the point.
