ZingChart V2.5.0

ZingChart Build 2.5.0 release notes

Flexbox Updates

Potentially breaking change!

ZingChart now works well with Flexbox. This is a potential breaking change as ZingChart now has some new behaviors related to zingchart.render({height}) attribute.

In previous versions of ZingChart the height would default to 480px if no container height was defined and no height was defined in zingchart.render()

If a user defines zingchart.render({height:100%}) then the default height is no longer 480px. Now, if the container height is 0px it will look like the chart has not rendered because the chart inherited that height.

The easiest way to alleviate this problem is to set a min height on the container element using CSS.
