Features
--------

* ColumnWithWaterfall, the first chart released with clean-business-chart (version 0.1.0)

  * added support for pandas in version 0.1.1

  * added date column support for pandas DataFrame and added translation of column headers inside the call in version 0.1.2

  * fixed error with FC-scenario when all FC-values were zero in version 0.2.12
  
  * fixed cosmetic bug with AC-scenario when total equals 0, stacked bar on the right has an element of zero in version 0.2.13 

  * added support for parameter footnote in version 0.2.15
  
  * added parameter last_closed_month to indicate last used month for actual values in version 0.2.18
  
  * technically optimized to use one axes-object (instead of 4) so it is prepared for small multiples. Chart looks more crisp because with zorder objects and text are better organized in version 0.2.20

* BarWithWaterfall, the second chart released in version 0.2.2

  * added support for parameter sort_chart in version 0.2.4

  * added support for parameter footnote in version 0.2.6

  * added support for parameter figsize in version 0.2.7 for optional (manual) sizing of the chart

  * better calculation of vertical part of figsize in version 0.2.8 for automatic sizing of the chart

  * added support for parameter translate_scenario in version 0.2.9 for optional translating the standard scenarios on the output of the chart
  
  * added support for parameter scalingvalue in version 0.2.10 for optional visualizing a scaling band. Also better visibility of texts. And added support for parameter figsize to only use x-size in float or integer

  * later rounding in the process leads to better connection between the waterfall and the total bars in version 0.2.11
  
  * fixed waterfall pattern-bug so FC-comparison looks different than AC-comparison in version 0.2.14
  
  * fixed disconnected lines bug in some cases by later rounding in the total values of the bar chart in version 0.2.16
  
  * improved support for parameter sort_chart also in combination with year or month fields in version 0.2.17
  
  * added support for parameter highlight to highlight detail bars in version 0.2.18
  
  * fixed a small bug with forecast information in special cases when no usable visual was produced. Solved in version 0.2.19

* General

  * better rounding support for values of chart-labels in version 0.2.5
