Dear all,

This email is to inform about jqplot changes that will be deployed
with SRF 1.8.

Starting with SRF 1.8, jqplotbar and jqplotpie will merge into one
class called jqplotchart which will handle all standard tasks that
earlier jqplotbar and jqplotpie have managed. For compatibility
reasons the format name jqplotbar and jqplotpie will still be
available as aliases but point to format jqplot.chart (or jqplotchart)
where the bar chart is set as default chart.

Reasons for the re-factoring effort was to ensure that the jqplot
printer and its JavaScript plug-ins are used entirely throughout the
ResourceLoader, eliminate identical code among jqplotbar and jqplotpie
classes, and make use of the same JavaScript for both jqplot.series
and jqplot.chart class.

If you want to get a feel about upcoming changes you might have to
look at [1], [2], or if you want to give a test drive see [3].

All functions that used to work with jqplotbar and jqplotpie are
supported with jqplot.chart the only difference is that you have to
use parameter['layout'] to select from available chart layouts. Commit
[3] does not include messages because a subsequent commit will take
care of those.

In connection with parameter names, those are now aligned with other
printers that are deployed with SRF 1.8.

PS: This email is to inform about upcoming changes and not meant to be
a forum for features.
