v5.0.0 + Migrate code base to TypeScript: + The entire code base have been migrated to TypeScript. + Provide `types/dist/echarts.d.ts` for the upper TS based applications, where the TS version supported is down to 3.4. + See more details in [#13563](https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts/pull/13563) + [Feature] States enhancement: + Support state transition animation, which brings better interaction effect when highlighting or downplaying some part of the chart. + Besides the state "emphasis" we already have, v5.0 provides two more configurable state: "select" and "blur" in all series. The option of them are the same as the existing "emphasis". "blur" is used the elements need to fade out when focusing some other elements. "select" is used when the element is selected by mouse/touch click or API triggering. + Support to blur other graphic elements when highlighting specified data through mouseover or hover linking. See examples [bar-label-rotation](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=bar-label-rotation), [bar-polar-stack](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=bar-polar-stack), [bar-stack](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=bar-stack), [area-stack](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=area-stack), [dataset-link](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=dataset-link), [scatter-weight](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=scatter-weight), [tree-basic](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=tree-basic). + Unify the previous different state configurations in series, like `highlightPolicy`, `focusNodeAdjacency`, `hoverOffset`, by the option `focus`, `blurScope` and `scale`. See examples [sankey-energy](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=sankey-energy), [graph](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=graph), [sunburst-drink](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=sunburst-drink). + See more details in [#12925](https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts/pull/12925) and [#12911](https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts/pull/12911). + [Feature] Provide a more powerful label support: + Use some strategies to bring better displayed labels, including: + Smarter text color strategy to make labels more easy to be distinguished from different background. + Smarter label layout in pie chart, especially when there are too many labels or insufficient space. And related issue: [#6050](https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts/issues/6050). + Provide more overflow configurations. + Provide option set `labelLayout` to enable more abilities for developers to tweak the layout of the labels after it's originally positioned by the chart itself. With the options in `labelLayout`, developers can: + Avoid labels overlap (see [scatter-label-align-right](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=graph-label-overlap)), + Make special label alignment, and adjust label position, etc.. See the examples [pie-alignTo](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=pie-alignTo), [pie-labelLine-adjust](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=pie-labelLine-adjust), [pie-label-distanceToLabelLine](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=doc-example/pie-label-distanceToLabelLine), [pie-label-bleedMargin](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=doc-example/pie-label-bleedMargin). + Make label draggable. + Support `labelLine` for all series, which is very useful for guiding element to related labels when labels have to be far away from the elements. See examples [scatter-label-align-right](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=scatter-label-align-right), [scatter-label-align-top](https://echarts.apache.org/next/examples/en/editor.html?c=scatter-label-align-top).
