To load this release candidate version, please refer to the instructions on loading the Google Charts library and just change your google.charts.load() call to load 'upcoming' instead of 'current', or you can load '44' explicitly.

If you have problems with this new version, we would like to know about it, but you also have the option to freeze your code at V43 by changing your google.charts.load() call to load '43' instead of 'current'.

Please test that your product is functioning correctly with the release candidate and report any issues you encounter to google-visua...@googlegroups.com.

Enjoy,

The Google Charts team
