This article applies to earlier versions that are still using the fusioncharts series products (such as v3.0.x ~ V3.3.x.
What changes have taken place?
- Since v3.4, the file name and Package Structure of the Javascript class library file of fusioncharts have changed. In addition, all file names are now in lower case to prevent conflicts on case-sensitive servers.
- Fusioncharts significantly accelerates the rendering of charts and fixes memory leakage.
- All charts are now rendered in Javascript only. The Flash chart is not upgraded (not available by default). You do not need to specify whether to render the chart through flash or Javascript. If you have explicitly specified using flash for rendering in the application, you need to remove the code.
- Stop using the <style> element and replace it with the attribute of the <chart> element.
- Removed jquery dependencies.
