On the April 2nd around 1:45 PM I had a number of pages that used column charts on a site stop working. I figured we were having some network issues at first since it seemed to be stalling on includes of tooltip.css from Google's servers. Had to be that or something changed/broke on Googles end.
After a couple hours I was able to diagnose it as being due to a collision with Prototype. After more searching I found this: http://groups.google.com/group/google-visualization-api/browse_thread/thread/92e7d760d6bec4a8 Is that really how I'll be finding out about new releases? No change log? No heads up? My question is how can I isolate myself from something like this happening again? Sadly having a cleaner slate, removing our archaic version of Prototype and other stale JS is not a feasible option. 1) Could I save the JS off the CDN locally? Seems straightforward enough to grab the JS, although I am not sure how the CSS requests from that code are generated. Is it possible to use the library locally? 2) Do I have to be pointing to latest release? Is there a way to version my includes? Sadly seems like 1.0 is still 1.0 even after the release yesterday that broke our pages. No minor minor? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I have a love hate relationship with gvis but would like to continue to use it. I just need to ensure that it does not introduce instability into my applications.
