We’re glad to present the new stable release of our Charting Library (1.3 stable). We have a dozen new features and also fixed loads of bugs thanks to our amazing community. Thanks!
So, what’s new in this release:
1. Custom CSS injection (Github issue #619)
CSS is an amazing language that powers the UI on the Web. Now you can use CSS to customize your Charting Library look & feel — we’ve got a special API call which injects your CSS right into our chart.
2. Ability to execute more actions via API (#618)
With the new executeActionById() method you are able to execute tons of actions (most of which usually are done by users through UI). I.e,. you can show Insert Indicator dialog, reset the time scale, show or hide toolbars and so on.
3. Assign keyboard shortcuts (#568)
You can add your own handler to any hotkeys and the chart will call it every time the user uses it. The true power of this feature can be seen when you use our API to manipulate the chart in your handler.
4. Create even more drawings via API (#640, #448)
Now you can create any drawing tools available in the UI via the API. That’s a great feature especially for those who run dirrerent kinds of automated analysis.
5. Memory consumption fixes (#120)
No more eating tons of memory when you recurringly recreate the widget!
6. New style of marks on the chart (#286)
Those marks are tied to the time axis. You can use them to show earnings, splits, dividends, news and any other kind of events related to the symbol.
