- Fix d3.format’s SI format for locales with currency suffixes.
D3 now includes new categorical color schemes from ColorBrewer, along with ColorBrewer’s excellent diverging, sequential single-hue and sequential multi-hue color schemes. The twenty-color schemes were removed because their grouped design often falsely implied non-existent relationships in the data: a shared hue can imply that the encoded data are part of a group (a super-category), while the relative lightness can falsely imply order.
