Summary:
The Proud Clarion 1.10.0 release of VividCharts was an opportunity to take a close look at the chart library and those chart types that needed a little updating. These updates were to support best practices within data visualization, but also as a response to customer use cases.
We also introduce our Strategic Gantt chart in this release, which is one of the bigger challenges customers face when reporting on timelines, progress and status. This chart provides a highly flexible chart, with a clear understanding that executives often want to review this information in a PowerPoint or PDF document.

Upgrading to the Proud Clarion 1.10.0 release
Here is a list of steps we recommend you take to help you plan for and upgrade to the 1.10.0 version.
Identify what environments you will test the upgrade to 1.10.0.
Verify that previous slide decks, dashboards, summaries and VividCharts reports have been backed up as is consistent with your development processes.
Identify who is responsible for testing and verifying each of your Scaled reports, Slide Decks and Dashboards has transitioned as expected, within your chosen test environment.
Identify who is responsible for the upgrade of VividCharts to the 1.10.0 release, once it has been verified that the upgrade was successful in test environments.
Additional Notes.
If you are upgrading from older versions than the 1.8.1 release, there are fix scripts included in the release that help update the application and records to be compatible with the 1.10.0 release. As a general practice, we do recommend keeping the application up-to-date and not skipping versions, as often as possible.
In this release we do highlight these two fix scripts:
BlueprintWorkflowUpdate
PublishViews
We recommend running these scripts after your upgrade to verify they have been properly applied. The order the scripts are run will not impact their results
