The internal APIs for creating custom visualizations are in a state of heavy churn as
|
2020-07-13 16:47:01 +02:00
|
|
|
they are being migrated to the new {kib} platform, and large refactorings have been
|
2020-03-11 20:04:59 +01:00
|
|
|
happening across minor releases in the `7.x` series. In particular, in `7.5` and later
|
|
|
|
we have made significant changes to the legacy APIs as we work to gradually replace them.

|
|
|
As a result, starting in `7.5` we have removed the documentation for the legacy APIs
|
|
|
|
to prevent confusion. We expect to be able to create new documentation later in `7.x`
|
|
|
|
when the visualizations plugin has been completed.

We would recommend waiting until later in `7.x` to upgrade your plugins if possible.
