✨ What's New in v1.8.0

📈 Massive Chart System Rewrite

We completely tore down the old monolithic visualization engine (a massive 2,200+ line component) and rebuilt it from the ground up into a highly modular, performant architecture. The new DataVisualizer is now split into 15+ specialized modules, powered by a robust useReducer state engine for lightning-fast UI updates.

📊 5 New Chart Types

Alongside the existing Columns, Lines, Scatters, and Donuts, v1.8.0 introduces five powerful new ways to visualize your Data:

• Combo Charts (Bar + Line): The most requested feature! Combine bars and lines on the same chart with dual Y-axis support.
• Heatmaps: Perfect for cohort analysis and retention tables, mapping color intensity directly to data values.
• Funnel Charts: Visualize conversion rates across sequential pipeline stages.
• Bubble Charts: Add a third dimension to your scatter plots by mapping a metric to bubble size.
• Stacked Areas: True proportional stacked area charts for time-series part-to-whole analysis.

🎨 Advanced Premium Customization

We've brought BI-level styling directly into your local IDE:

• Visual Chart Selector: A beautiful new icon-grid makes choosing the right chart type intuitive.
• Color & Typography: 18 curated color palettes, custom background tones, and 7 professional fonts (Inter, Roboto, JetBrains, etc.) with a global text scale slider.
• Smart Data Labels: Labels now feature automatic contrast detection (white text on dark bars, dark text on light bars) and an intelligent "auto-hide" slider that prevents overlapping when bars get too small.
• Headline KPIs: Add a massive, prominent Metric Number above your chart that automatically calculates Deltas (▲/▼) against previous periods.
• Storytelling Annotations: Add customizable Goal Lines, Linear Trends, and Moving Averages with just a click.

🛠️ UX & Stability Improvements

• Tab Reorganization: The visualization config panels now follow a logical flow: 📊 Chart → 📋 Data → ⚙ Detail → 📐 Axes → 🎨 Theme → ✏️ Story.
• Backward Compatibility: All your existing .amoxvis chart configurations from older versions will load seamlessly into the new engine thanks to a transparent migration layer.
• Performance: npm run dist now builds the client 2x faster with 0 errors.
