Current release: July 2021 (v6.01)

The labelsInbar* properties were added to the SVG Horizontal Bar and the canvas Horizontal Bar charts.
The Bar chart has a new corners property. This can be set to round if you want and you'll get rounded corners on the bars. There's also a new cornersRoundRadius property which allows you to control the magnitude of the rounding effect. The default for this property is 10.
The tooltips templates macro %{group} has been removed from the site. It's still supported, is working and I have no plans to remove it - however the %{dataset} is now the preferred macro to use.
Some of the demos have been brought up to better/more recent styles of coding.
The colorsConnectors property has been added to the canvas Waterfall chart. The SVG Waterfall chart already had a colorsConnector property so this has been renamed to colorsConnectors (an s has beeen added on to the end). The former property name will still work though (for backwards-compatibility purposes).
The SVG Line chart now has support for rendering a trend line on your chart. This brings the total chart support for trend lines to: canvas Scatter/Line charts and SVG Scatter/Line charts. There's a demo of an SVG Line chart with a trend line in the demos which are in the download archive and you can see the documentation section on the SVG Line chart documentation page.
The tickmarksColor option has been added to the Line chart. So you could have a red line with black tickmarks for example.
A new interesting Line chart demo has been added called line-3d-effect.html. As the name suggests this is a 3D Line chart, which has multiple datasets. It's not controlled by an option - ie it's not natively supported, but the code involved to produce the chart is not difficult (though there is a lot of it). You can find the demo in the demos/ folder in the download archive. You can see a picture of it on the RGraph blog.
A few pseudo-constants (they're really just variables) have been added to the core library:
- RGraph.MONTHS_SHORT ([Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec])
- RGraph.MONTHS_LONG ([January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December])
- RGraph.DAYS_SHORT ([Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun])
- RGraph.DAYS_LONG ([Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday])
- RGraph.HOURS24 ([00:00, 01:00, 02:00, ..., 21:00, 22:00, 23:00])
- RGraph.HOURS12 ([00:00, 01:00, 02:00, 03:00, 04:00, 05:00, 06:00, 07:00, 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, 11:00])
They're all pretty self-explanatory but if you want to see or alter them then they're located in the RGraph.common.core.js file near the top. You could use them like this:
```
new RGraph.Bar({
    id: 'cvs',
    data: [4,8,6,5,3,2,5],
    options: {
        xaxisLabels: RGraph.DAYS_SHORT
    }
}).draw();
```
The canvas Line chart now (as well as the canvas Scatter chart) can draw a trend line for your data.
The Scatter chart now has an explode effect. With this effect the marks on the chart explode outwards from a point on the chart (top-left, top-center, top-right, center-left, center-center, center-right, bottom-left, bottom-center or bottom-right).
The RScatter chart now has an explode effect. With this effect the marks on the chart explode outwards from the center of the chart.
