apexcharts 8.5.0

💎 Version 8.5.0

on Node.js NPM

A minor release: fixes and features from a batch of 29 issues (#5363 to #5391), plus five contributor PRs.

Behaviour changes to check when upgrading:

• Trellis panels no longer reserve the empty title band above each plot. Other charts keep it; the grid.padding docs in the types say how far it can be pulled in.
• Horizontal bar charts thin overlapping category names instead of drawing them over each other.
• stackType 100% area and line charts now draw percentages, as 100% bars already did.

Also new:

• radialBar targets ship as an add-on: import apexcharts/features/radial-targets (the full bundle includes it).
• The plugin API's dashArray now also carries pattern strings and per-series patterns, so a plugin that assumed a number should handle those.
• Legend and keyboard announcements are translated in every locale. The translations have not had a native-speaker review, so corrections are welcome.

✨ New

• Full dash patterns everywhere, line caps on annotations (#5383).
• Trellis panels drop the empty title band above each plot.
• Thin overlapping category names on horizontal bar charts (#5371).
• A balanced hide order for overlapping labels (#5378).
• Tooltip.visible false keeps hover without the box (#5382).
• Band gap units, radial geometry for plugins, targets add-on (#5374, #5380, #5381).
