Incompatibilities

• The IlvSingleBubbleRenderer Bean property maxSize is no longer equivalent to the Bean property markerSize. In CSS files for bubble charts you may need to change markerSize to maxSize.
• The method IlvScale.setCategory has been changed to do nothing if the argument is true and an IlvCategoryStepsDefinition is already installed, or if the argument is false and the current steps definition is not an IlvCategoryStepsDefinition. Previously it always installed a fresh IlvCategoryStepsDefinition or a fresh IlvDefaultStepsDefinition with default parameters. Use setStepsDefinition if you want to install a fresh IlvStepsDefinition instance.
• The deprecated method IlvDataInterval.substract was removed. Please use IlvDataInterval.subtract instead.
• JSF components now have their rtexprvalue set to false instead of true in the Tag Library Definition in order to comply with JSF specification.

General Changes

• Labels with contrast: The classical way to ensure legibility of labels, regardless of the background, is to specify a background color, with which a background rectangle is filled. Two new techniques are available in IlvLabelRenderer:
  1. Outline: The label can be drawn in outline mode. This is available through the method IlvLabelRenderer.setOutline.
  2. Have the labels color change according to the background color. This is available through the class IlvContrastingColor.
• Minor ticks are now supported in time scales. Methods have been added in IlvTimeStepsDefinition that allow to specify the placement of minor ticks.
• Treemap rendering: In the object CSS rule, the pseudo-properties level, focusLevel, and leaf are available.
• The Rich Web Charts now support new renderer types: Pie, Area, Stair, Hilo and Bubble.
• The Rich Web Charts now have two resizing policies: default and range resizing.
• The Rich Web Charts now allow to trigger a JSF/AJAX event when highlighting a point.
• The customization of bubble charts in the designer has been improved.
• Refined destruction methods for data sources and models: All data sources and models that act as a filter on another data source or model now have a disconnect() method. While dispose() destroys enough pointers to make a data source or model unusable, disconnect() only removes listeners that would hinder garbage collection, but keeps it functional.
