Vega and Vega-Lite has been updated (Vega 4.3, Vega-Lite 2.6), and unless we see any issues, will be released as part of Kibana 6.7 and 7.0. Vega-Lite v3 final is not out yet (last published version is v3.0.0-rc12), but we do plan to upgrade once Vega 5 and Vega-Lite 3 are out.

@nyurik thanks. if I want to add vega-lite 3.0.0-rc12 in my kibana , could you tell me how to add it? download the source code and copy it under KIBANA_HOME/plugin/ ? am I right
?

@nyurik ，hi，nyurik，I want to use boxplot to show data, but boxplot is added since vega-lite 3.0.
I find your kibana vega-lite plugin here https://github.com/nyurik/kibana-vega-vis. but it update to 6.2.X.

Could you tell me how to make kibana vage-lite plugin , thanks a lot.

[nyurik]

@yolandaZhangYi it is not very straightforward. Vega 4.4+ has dropped support for Internet Explorer, so Kibana will need to use Babel to backcompile Vega code as part of its built. Of course you can always build your own version of Kibana (simply update the vega library versions in package.json), but the results are harder to predict.

I'll close this issue for now, since there is no stable version of vega-lite 3.0 out there yet.

Any update on this? v3.1.0 is already out since April 2nd 2019.
