We\u2019re proud to announce the new major Highcharts release, including the Stock, Maps, and Gantt packages. Here are the main highlights of Highcharts version 9.0<\/b> (check the changelog<\/a> for more details):<\/p>\n

1. A facelift for the Stock range selector<\/h2>\n

We did a significant overhaul of the range selector\u2019s UX.<\/p>\n

Responsive range selector<\/b><\/p>\n

First, we added a feature that allows the range selector button row to collapse into a dropdown if the space is limited.<\/p>\n

\"responsive<\/p>\n

This feature may be forced to always show a dropdown, or disabled to always show the button row. The default behavior is that the dropdown appears responsively, which provides a better experience on small screens such as mobile devices or within dashboards.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HTML 5 date pickers<\/b><\/p>\n

Secondly, and again with the same mindset to improve the mobile experience, we upgraded the range selector date inputs.<\/p>\n

\"date-picker\"<\/p>\n

Now, the inputs use true HTML5 date pickers, supported by most modern browsers. Other browsers fall back to text inputs like before. Furthermore, we removed some ink around the date inputs for a more modern and lightweight graphical design.<\/p>\n
