Unreleased

• Features
  • It's now possible to export charts as images

• Fixes
  • Changed component id separator text to be more unique, as it was causing issues with some cubes that had iris ending with "-"
  • Datasets section in the sidebar is now correctly shown at all times
  • Improved Preventation of overlapping axis titles for combo charts

[5.0.1] - 2024-11-26

• Features
  • Improved formatting of confidence intervals in tooltips (, [-lower bound], [+upper bound])
• Fixes
  • Ensured undefined / unavailable data is represented as "-" for downloaded data files
