Is this library dead ?

[communityFabian]

My plan was to use this library in production but as it seem there are no updates / bugfixes coming anymore since months. What is the state of this library ? Is there already a successor somewhere ? Need to know if this gonna stay maintained.

I have the same question.

Same here... Would even broaden the question to TSI as a whole. Not much happening since the official GA launch 14 months ago. Other products have received 10-15 updates during that period. Sure feels dead.

Hey gang!

tsiclient is used in production in a number of products at Microsoft. Honestly, we haven't added any features to the library in a while because it does a ton of stuff already, and it's been good for our purposes in any context we have used it in so far. You're right that there haven't been many commits or releases lately, but that's because we haven't needed them, not because we are using something else for charting or developing a different charting library.

I recognize that there are a few unaddressed outstanding issues, and to those folks I'm obviously sorry that they exist and haven't been addressed. I will say that the library is largely bug free for the wide number of ways that we use it in production at Microsoft, so if you are hitting a bug it is likely that the way the library is being consumed is incorrect in some way, which is probably also partially a fault on our end for lack of documentation of a specific caveat.

Hopefully that explains where we are at with the library. We are working on a new feature for horizontal markers in the line chart that will probably release next week or so. I think that's kind of indicative of the activity in the library right now, if we need something, we build it, but it's generally so feature rich that we have trouble exposing most of the things we've already built
