What is ApexCharts?

Licensing settled, ApexCharts is back to changing what a chart can take as input.

ApexCharts is deep into a fast v6 line, shipping roughly weekly. The licensing arc that dominated 6.5 through 6.7 — trial watermarks, the first premium-gated chart type, then entitlement checks — has settled, and the last three releases are library work again. 6.9.0 is the largest of them: a histogram type that bins raw samples, a morph engine that conserves marks across chart types, and the end of the library's dependency-free packaging.

What is assesslite?

Four releases in fifteen hours take causal assumption-checking from resampling to identification

AssessLite attacks the structural assumptions behind a causal finding and returns three-way verdicts — stable, unstable, or not resolvable — feeding proceed, conditional or abstain decisions, with an auditable JSON record validated against a shared schema. It runs natively in R and Python against one spec, with the Python engine reproducing R's coxph(ties=breslow) exactly. The entire 0.1.0-through-0.4.0 arc landed inside a single day in July 2026.

Licensing settled, ApexCharts is back to changing what a chart can take as input.

◆ Current state

ApexCharts is deep into a fast v6 line, shipping roughly weekly. The licensing arc that dominated 6.5 through 6.7 — trial watermarks, the first premium-gated chart type, then entitlement checks — has settled, and the last three releases are library work again. 6.9.0 is the largest of them: a histogram type that bins raw samples, a morph engine that conserves marks across chart types, and the end of the library's dependency-free packaging.

◆ Where it's heading

The through-line now is input and arrangement rather than catalogue size. Charts increasingly accept the measurements a team actually has instead of pre-aggregated values, and the seams that let you hand a chart its own layout — plotOptions.unit.positions, the pluggable layout hook — are being filled in with kits rather than hard-coded options. The premium boundary has stopped moving; the free catalogue keeps growing around it.

◆ Prediction

Expect the raw-observation pattern to reach another chart type now that the bar pathway handles binning, and expect the remaining pluggable seams to get companion kits the way positions just did.

Four releases in fifteen hours take causal assumption-checking from resampling to identification

◆ Current state

AssessLite attacks the structural assumptions behind a causal finding and returns three-way verdicts — stable, unstable, or not resolvable — feeding proceed, conditional or abstain decisions, with an auditable JSON record validated against a shared schema. It runs natively in R and Python against one spec, with the Python engine reproducing R's coxph(ties=breslow) exactly. The entire 0.1.0-through-0.4.0 arc landed inside a single day in July 2026.

◆ Where it's heading

The releases are cumulative, each restating the previous feature set and adding to it, so read them as one launch rather than four. The direction across that launch is clear: it started with resampling attacks (permutation, holdout, temporal split, subgroup), turned toward causal identification with declared DAGs and the backdoor criterion, then reached into genuinely dependent data with spatial and interference checks. The correctness work moves in step — the 0.3.0 Bonferroni adjustment fixed a holdout rule that was flagging roughly m times too often with m variants.

◆ Prediction

The project has repeatedly shipped what it previously listed as future work within days, so the next release most likely converts another declared gap rather than opening a new front.
