Installation

From PyPI (recommended)

Install the latest weekly build directly from PyPI:

pip install altair==6.1.0.dev20260309
# or
uv pip install altair==6.1.0.dev20260309

Note: Weekly builds publish timestamped development versions (for example 6.1.0.dev20260309) to PyPI. When you pin that exact version, pip installs the dev build automatically, without the need for a --pre flag.

From GitHub Repository (direct install)

Install directly from the tagged commit without downloading the wheel:

Command line (pip or uv):

pip install git+https://github.com/vega/altair.git@weekly-20260309-356c78bb
# or
uv pip install git+https://github.com/vega/altair.git@weekly-20260309-356c78bb

Note: Installing directly from the weekly-... tag will surface the base development version (without the timestamp suffix) because the version file edits are not committed.

Add to pyproject.toml (pip/uv):

[project]
dependencies = [
    "altair @ git+https://github.com/vega/altair.git@weekly-20260309-356c78bb",

v6.0.0

Release v6.0.0

The Vega-Altair team is pleased to announce the release of version 6.0.0. Firstly, we are grateful for the many returning contributors (@franzhaas, @dangotbanned, @dsmedia, @joelostblom, @tempdata73, @mattijn, @jonmmease, @eitanlees, @kurtmckee, @MarcoGorelli), and a special shoutout to all the new contributors (@JasonnnW3000, @edmundmiller, @jannisko, @stanmart, @star1327p, @baldwint, @daizutabi, @azjps, @joaopalmeiro, @bobot). You are all awesome!

In short what is included with the version 6 release of Altair.

• we now compile against Vega-Lite version 6 (to be specific, version 6.1.0) and provide support for Python 3.14.
• we have a new datasets module, altair.datasets, lazily access to datasets from https://github.com/vega/vega-datasets.
• we are now thread-safe, altair specifications should be stable after re-running.
• we improved docs and included new examples, eg. this faceted choropleth of habitat species across geographical counties https://altair-viz.github.io/gallery/maps_faceted_species.html.
• we improved the typing experiences.
• we migrated to uv as part of the infrastructure modernization and now have automated weekly builds.

We test all changes thoroughly, but nevertheless, if you encounter any issue or like to start a discussion. Please feel free!

Version 5.5.0

Release 5.5.0

The Vega-Altair team is pleased to announce the release of version 5.5.0. This version introduces several exciting new features and enhancements including a revamped theme system, a new renderer optimized for screen readers, and numerous type system updates that improve auto-completion and make it easier to integrate Altair into larger typed programs.

This release adds Python 3.13 and removes Python 3.8 support. It also includes a variety of documentation improvements and a range of important bug fixes.

Thanks to our maintainers (@binste, @dangotbanned, @joelostblom, @mattijn, and @jonmmease), returning contributors (@MarcoGorelli, @daylinmorgan, and @dsmedia), and first time contributors (@jpn--, @davidgroves, and @apoorvkh) for these improvements.

What's Changed

Deprecation

alt.themes

This release deprecates the alt.themes ThemeRegistry object and replaces it with an improved theme API in the new alt.theme module.
See the updated Chart Themes documentation for more information.

Note

Usage of the legacy alt.themes registry will be supported until version 6, but will now display a warning on first use.

• Refactor alt.themes -> alt.theme by @dangotbanned in #3618
• Adds @alt.theme.register decorator by @dangotbanned in #3526
• Adds ThemeConfig (TypedDict) by @dangotbanned in #3536

Example of registering a custom theme

import altair as alt
import pandas as pd

data = pd.DataFrame({'x': [5, 3, 6, 7, 2],
                     'y': ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']})

@alt.theme.register("my_little_theme", enable=True)
def custom_theme():
    return alt.theme.ThemeConfig(
        config={
            "bar":{"color":"black"}
        }
    )

chart = alt.Chart(data).mark_bar().encode(
    x='x',
    y='y',
)
chart  # enable default using `alt.theme.enable("default")`

Example of instant feedback while you define a theme config through Pylance in VSCode

Enhancements

Olli Renderer

This release integrates the Olli project to provide a chart renderer that augments chart visualizations with a keyboard-navigable structure accessible to screen readers.

• Add 'olli' renderer to generate accessible text structures for screen reader users by @binste in #3580

Example of olli renderer:

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

alt.renderers.enable("olli")

cars = data.cars.url
chart = alt.Chart(cars).mark_bar().encode(
    y='Cylinders:O',
    x='mean_acc:Q'
).transform_aggregate(
    mean_acc='mean(Acceleration)',
    groupby=["Cylinders"]
)
chart

Expressions and Selections

Several improvements were made to Altair's expression and selection APIs:

• Generate expr method signatures, docs by @dangotbanned in #3600
• Support &, |, ~ on all ...Predicate classes by @dangotbanned in #3668
• Support datetime.(date|datetime) in Expression(s) by @dangotbanned in #3654
• Support datetime.(date|datetime) as a SchemaBase parameter by @dangotbanned in #3653
• Add missing float to IntoExpression alias by @dangotbanned in #3611

Example of combining predicates within .transform_filter

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

source = data.population.url
chart = alt.Chart(source).mark_line().encode(
    x="age:O",
    y="sum(people):Q",
    color="year:O"
).transform_filter(
    ~alt.FieldRangePredicate(field='year', range=[1900, 1960]) 
    & (alt.datum.age <= 70)
)
chart

Example of using Python datetime.date for value in alt.selection_interval()

import datetime
import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

source = data.unemployment_across_industries.url
dt_values = [datetime.date(2005, 1, 1), datetime.date(2009, 1, 1)]

brush = alt.selection_interval(
    encodings=['x'],
    value={"x": dt_values}
)

base = alt.Chart(source).mark_area(
    color='goldenrod',
    opacity=0.3
).encode(
    x='yearmonth(date):T',
    y='sum(count):Q',
)

background = base.add_params(brush)
selected = base.transform_filter(brush).mark_area(color='goldenrod')

background + selected

Multiple predicates and constraints in Chart.transform_filter

• Support Chart.transform_filter(*predicates, **constraints) by @dangotbanned in #3664

Example of using keyword-argument constraints to simplify filter compositions:

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

source = data.population.url
chart = alt.Chart(source).mark_area().encode(
    x="age:O",
    y="sum(people):Q",
    color="year:O"
).transform_filter(year=2000, sex=1)

Documentation

Several new examples were added to the documentation

Example of using alt.when().then().otherwise()

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

source = data.cars()

brush = alt.selection_interval()

chart = alt.Chart(source).mark_point().encode(
    x='Horsepower',
    y='Miles_per_Gallon',
    color=alt.when(brush).then("Origin").otherwise(alt.value("lightgray"))
).add_params(
    brush
)
chart

Example of using luminance in an expression to dynamically colorize text

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

source = data.barley()

base = alt.Chart(source).encode(
    x=alt.X('sum(yield):Q').stack('zero'),
    y=alt.Y('site:O').sort('-x'),
    text=alt.Text('sum(yield):Q', format='.0f')
)

bars = base.mark_bar(
    tooltip=alt.expr("luminance(scale('color', datum.sum_yield))")
).encode(
    color='sum(yield):Q'
)

text = base.mark_text(
    align='right',
    dx=-3,
    color=alt.expr("luminance(scale('color', datum.sum_yield)) > 0.5 ? 'black' : 'white'")
)
