A new way to make graphs more accessible to blind and low-vision readers Designed to help blind and low-vision readers understand graphics, the “Tactile Vega-Lite” system from MIT CSAIL converts data into a standard visual graph and a tactile chart. Accessibility standards...

Also Vega-Embed now defaults to SVG making more accessible charts by default.

We have released new versions of Vega 📊 packages (including Vega and Vega-Lite version 6) 🎉. The most significant change is that all packages now use modern ESM, setting us up for a more streamlined future to new features. Check the release notes for other changes.
