We have just released a new version 3.9 of our three main products: JavaScript Charts, JavaScript Stock Charts and JavaScript Maps.

For those keeping track, we skipped a few digits for charts in order to catch up with the Maps to further simplify versioning.

Feature-wise, the most notable development across all the three products is multi-language capabilities. As of V3.9 we’re including language files that would allow translating English prompts, month/day names and country names automatically. See the details for it in the full change list below.

As usually, don’t hesitate to let us know, if you find any discrepancies or missing translations.

To download the newest free version head over to our Downloads section. Our commercial users (thank you BTW!) should download via Support area.

Here’s a full scoop on what’s new in V3.9:

JavaScript Charts / JavaScript Stock Chart:

  • We jumped directly to V 3.9.0 from 3.4.9 in order to keep the same version numbers for charts and maps, as they are often used together. This will help to avoid some misunderstandings.
  • Serious memory leak fixed. It appeared on whenc hart was redrawn. We noticed this with recent version of Chrome and it seems like this is browser problem. Nevertheless, we found a solution. We strongly recommend to update to this version if you refresh chart with a new data or rebuild it a lot for some other reasons.
  • A possibility to switch languages easily added. Now you can easily change language of a chart (there are not too many texts there, most of them are names of months and weekdays, but still). To do this, you must include lang file from amcharts/lang/ folder and set chart.language = “de” or some other language.
  • Exporting chart as SVG now produces one nice file (used to produce separate files for legend and a chart)
  • balloonPointerOrientation added to ChartCursor class (also for ChartCursorSettings).

JavaScript Maps
