Hi Chris, This is the blog post relating to the change in deprecation policy: http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/04/changes-to-deprecation-policies-and-api.html
This is the relevant piece for charts: """Our commitment to the underlying APIs remains unchanged. We will continue to work very hard to communicate any changes to our APIs well in advance, regardless of the APIs' deprecation policy. """ The Image Charts https://developers.google.com/chart/image/ in their current form were deprecated in April 2012. There is a 3 year period ending April 2015 in which we would maintain that API in its current form. The HTML5 / Interactive charts are not deprecated. https://developers.google.com/chart/ Google Charts is a staffed team (i.e. it is not just one person), and we remain committed to the library. This change is mainly to allow us to change the API with more freedom (rather than have to maintain the same API surface for three years). If we were to withdraw the Charts API / Library, I would expect a lot of notice, but unfortunately cannot really give guidance as to how much. -Tom On Wednesday, April 30, 2014 9:33:20 AM UTC-4, chris snow wrote: > > I would like to use a single chart type; bar chart, but I am unclear on > the deprecation policy [1]. > > "Google will announce if it intends to discontinue or make backwards > incompatible changes to this API or Service" > > How much notice will Google give?
