I’m on 1.0 and it’s unlikely I will upgrade to 2.0 very soon.
- It’s pretty jarring (and frustrating) to suddenly have all new docs with the 2.0 release. It makes sense that 2.0 is the default, but I still need to reference 1.0 docs occasionally. As will the majority of your users for a while since most of us aren’t gonna switch over right away, if we ever do. So where do we find them? It’s not at all clear (seriously, where can I find them?). Lodash and react-router are 2 examples of projects that do versioned documentation well if you need examples. Lodash for instance, has a dropdown on their docs page allowing you toggle what version you’re looking at, and react-router has docs for all their major versions linked directly in the readme. I can dig through the chartjs 1.0 code to figure out what I need to, but obviously I’d prefer not having to do that.
- Should I choose to upgrade from 1.0, there should be a clear and easy to follow upgrade guide linked somewhere in the readme or the documentation, or both. Yes, I can read the release notes and the docs, but if I’ve already been using 1.0 and just want to upgrade, a clear and concise description of the api differences and what I might run into would make things 10x easier
Apologies for the confusion – they’re available here: https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/tree/v1.1.0/docs.
We’ll add in a link from the site shortly. If there’s continued demand we can template them on the site as well.
