<p>Welcome to the 0.7.5 release of jCharts!</p>
<p>Please be aware, there have been significant changes in the Properties model in this Release, and some minor tweaks to the data interfaces. You CAN NOT simply replace the 0.6 jar with the 0.7
jar and have your chart work. Please consult the java docs, examples, test framework, and User Guide for the changes.</p>
<p>Do NOT be alarmed, as the changes will **NOT** require a complete rewrite of your code.</p>
<p>jCharts 0.7.5 **REQUIRES** the JDK 1.4.x for the PNG and JPEG encoders to work, however, legacy support is provided via the JPEGEncoder13 class</p>

<td>
Apache XML Batik, which jCharts uses to output SVG formatted charts, does not display vertical axis labels. This has been
reported to them as of 6-23-2002 and hopefully a solution will be found soon; horizontal axis labels work in SVG.
I tried 1.1.1 and 1.5 beta 3.
