v0.9.6 Changes
April 25, 2017🚀 First of all, sorry for the delay in this release, besides the fact that I needed a break, this time was also useful to analyze some of the current issues of the library, I was able to play with the geared package, and make significant performance improves, I'll soon update the site with the tips I found.
What is next for the library?
- WPF 1.0 will come soon, I am aware of a couple of significant issues in the library, I'll fix before releasing 1.0
- ⚡️ UWP will be updated to support all the features WPF does.
- 📚 Documentation will have a considerable review based on the most asked questions I've received along the life of this library.
When will it happen?
I am planning to accelerate the process, this moth I will be working hard in the project, ETA to achieve all previous points, 45 days.
🚀 Lets go back to this release:
Braking Changes
- 🚀 Sadly in a previous release, Series.PointForeground property was renamed by mistake to Series.PointForeround (notice the missing 'g'), this release fixes this typo error.
🆕 New Features
- 🏗 This repo now includes the assemblies certificate, this will allow anyone to build a singed copy of LiveCharts by only running build.ps file, yes the same certificate that signs the assemblies in Nuget.
- 🚚 Labeled Sections, notice it supports 2 modes, in the X axis, the section snaps to the closest point, in the Y axis it just follows the mouse position (Sample here, will be in the site soon):
🍱
👍 Advanced coloring rules for financial series, supported in both, LiveCharts and LiveCharts.Geared, a sample will be uploaded to the site soon.
An experimental new axis thanks to @mirthestam, this axis, changes its labels according to user zooming and panning, changing from years, month, days, hours and seconds. https://github.com/beto-rodriguez/Live-Charts/tree/master/Examples/Wpf/CartesianChart/DateAxis

🚀 ##if you are using the geared values package, please don't update to this version yet, soon the next version for the geared package will be released, and it will connect properly with livecharts 0.9.2
No Changes
well, tooltips are cleaner now, there was a case ( #229 ) where you needed to wrap your tooltip in a container to make it work properly, this is no longer necessary, tooltips should display correctly always now.
🆕 New Features

v0.9.1 Changes
February 04, 2017🚀 No changes in this version, the library feels now really solid and stable in my opinion, I have been fixing the most annoying issues in the library the couple of last releases, things are close to release v 1.0, next things to fix before releasing 1.0 are pie charts and maps.
🆕 New Features
- Now we can disable zooming and enable panning or vise versa
- ⚡️ ChartValues now implements INotifyCollectionChanged and INotifyPropertyChanged, which means this class now updates the UI and not only the chart as it used to for more info see #284
🛠 Fixed issues
-
v0.9.0 Changes
January 17, 2017🚀 This release has no significant code changes, this means that the is a low probability to introduce new bugs (please don't), it fixes many old issues that required a detailed review.
💥 Breaking Changes
- ⚡️ Chart.UpdaterTick delegate changed from
void UpdaterTickHandler()tovoid UpdaterTickHandler(object sender)where sender is the chart that fired the event.
🆕 New Features
- ⚡️ Default tooltip for CartesianChart had a considerable visual improvement, it is also much more flexible, the article about tooltips in the site will be updated showing the new features
- 👀 Finally one of the ugliest issues (in my opinion) was fixed, series were not able to let the chart know its points size, this caused points to be not completely rendered, see #341
- 🌐 You can now bind any event in the library, there will be a new article in the web site about events, listing them all and showing a brief example.
- 🆕 New Logarithmic Axis, now you can add logarithmic axes with any base to a cartesian chart.

v0.8.0 Changes
November 20, 20160.8.0 is a really important release, it demonstrates that the structure of the library is solid enough to take it to more platforms, and here it is the first step welcome UWP! 🎉, you are next Xamarin! special thanks to @AuroraDysis who made most of the work taking LiveCharts to UWP.
This version has small, but braking changes, coming from 0.7.x should not require any change in most of the cases:
🆕 New Features
- Welcome UWP the library is finally in UWP, with some known issues that you can find in the Issues section, the package is already in Nuget:
PM> Install-Package LiveCharts.Uwp - welcome back net 4.0 wrongly I removed support to net 40 in previous versions, well now it is back, the Nuget package contains both builds net4.0 and PCL profile 328 (current one).
- 📦 For some reason all the nuget packages missed
.pdb, and xml docs files, they are now included since 0.8, this in makes the library more friendly to users, by enabling IDE intellisense and a better debugging experience. - 🚀 LiveCharts.Geared v1.2 will be released soon, which extends the high performance to all the series in the library (but heat series).
- 🆕 new Gantt chart see an example there -> https://github.com/beto-rodriguez/Live-Charts/tree/master/Examples/WinForms/Cartesian/GanttChart
- Wpf themes are included now in the library, they are light and an easy way to get started styling your charts : https://lvcharts.net/App/examples/v1/wpf/Themes
Major Changes (don't be scared to update, normally they won't affect your current work)
- ⚡️ Type of
Axis.MinValueandAxis.MaxValuechanged fromdouble?todoubleto fix incompatibility with UWP, in older version o clear zooming you used toaxis.MinValue = null, the equivalent in 0.8 isaxis.MinValue = double.Nan, the example in the web site is already updated to 0.8 API - 👍
Section.FromValueandSection.ToValueare obsolete and will be replaced in future versions withSection.ValueandSection.SectionWidthto fix a bug with draggable sections, FromValue/ToValue works, but there is no warranty that it will be supported in future versions, if you are using a draggable section please use the new properties instead, the site already contains examples using the new syntax.
