Version 2.0 beta is compatible with Sencha Touch 2.0 and contains improvement in performance, a new TreeMap visualization, and a new animation package.

Please try it out and provide feedback.

Big thanks for all your hard work and for releasing this, Sencha Touch v2 Final is awesome but really need the charts too !

Now all that is missing is the Linux download for the v2 SDK tools.... but in saying that its far less important than having charts.

This actually is unexpected but extremely exciting!

Minor issue on examples/index.html

WordMap example links to "examples/WordMap/index.html" but link is actually "examples/Wordmap/index.html" (m lower case). So on case-sensitive file systems the link is broken, even when serving up via a web server such as Nginx.

Navigating to the example directly works fine.

Great to see this materialise

I guess these limitations are already known, but things I've found so far are:

1) I notice that it needs to run with its own bundled copy of Sencha Touch 2 since it throws exceptions if loaded with the recently released Sencha Touch 2. Is the intention to release this product alongside an updated Sencha Touch 2? Presumably we must treat this bundled Sencha Touch 2 as a new beta too?

2) No event support yet.

3) Only the canvas engine engine is present.

Interesting points Mike, I also had a look into this.

Lines of code:
touch-charts/sencha-touch-debug.js 78012
sencha-touch/sencha-touch-debug.js 15114
sencha-touch/sencha-touch-all-debug.js 78370

Thus we can conclude that "sencha-touch-debug.js" in the Charts beta is actually closer to a full build like "sencha-touch-all-debug.js" in Touch v2 Final.

If you use a decent diff viewer between Charts "sencha-touch-debug.js" and Touch "sencha-touch-all-debug.js" you'll find nearly all of the differences are:
- touch missing annotations (e.g. //<feature, //<debug etc)
- touch turns dynamic loading OFF by default (interesting)
- some other insignificant differences

If you include sencha-touch-all-debug.js from the Sencha Touch v2 final release in the Touch Charts examples instead of sencha-touch.js all the examples appear to work OK from my brief testing.

Therefor I conclude there is an issue with dynamic loading, not a special build of Sencha Touch. And I am looking into this further so I can use dynamic loading with Touch Charts.

Cheers
