Added a view toolbar on the top left of the chart, which includes the zoom-in and zoom-out functions, and a reset button to restore the default view of three layers.
Mix Chart, Horizontal Bar Chart	When the value for the X and Y axis is too large, they are automatically converted using the unit selected. This is configured in Axis Style under Label Settings.
Mix Chart	Added the Reference Line Style configuration. Multiple reference lines can be created to mark out and quickly identify critical values. Added the Add Highlight Area configuration. You can highlight the background area of specified data. Added the Enable Selection Zooming configuration. You can box a data area in the chart to zoom in. Added the Enable Future Style to use a special future data style for data whose time is in the future to help distinguish it from other data. Added Dot-line Chart types with multiple shapes to easily distinguish between multiple line charts.
Pie Chart	Multiple measurements can now be added, resulting in multiple pie charts. However, the legend will no longer display values. Added the Layout to configure the number of rows and columns for displaying multiple pie charts. Added Data Size to merge smaller data items to “Other”.
