Google Charts version '50' is now available. As before, you can use this upcoming version by loading 'upcoming'. Please test the new features and let us know if you experience any issues.

<script>
  google.charts.load('upcoming',

    {packages: ['corechart']});
</script>

Anticipated production release date: April 11, 2021

At this time, the 'current' version is still '49'.

On the release date, loading either 'current' or 'upcoming' will load '50'.

This release includes many internal refactorings and mirations to ES6 and TypeScript, in preparation for the first phase of open-sourcing Google Charts.

VegaChart
- Added support for Vega-lite, and Vega-embed.
Treemap
- New enableHighlight option enables highlighting of elements. How the highlighting is triggered should be configured with eventsConfig. (highlightOnMouseOver is deprecated)
- New eventsConfig option for configuring how events trigger Treemap interactions. The default configuration is:
```
{
  highlight: ['mouseover'],
  unhighlight: ['mouseout'],
  rollup: ['contextmenu'], // right-click
  drilldown: ['click']
}
```
- New events: 'highlight', 'unhighlight', 'drilldown'
Query
- Workaround lack of support in older versions of spreadsheets for the new more secure JSON response handling (which resulted in CORS errors).
