Changes to plotly.js

Upgrades plotly.js from v2.11.1 to v2.25.2 (35 releases). Key new features now available:

• Multiple legends: Support for legend2, legend3, etc. with separate positioning and visibility control
• Shape labels: New label attribute for shapes and label.texttemplate for parametric shapes
• Marker direction: New marker.angle, marker.angleref, and marker.standoff properties for directional markers
• Y-axis positioning: shift and autoshift properties to avoid y-axis overlapping in multi-axis plots
• Mapbox clustering: Clustering options and bounds support for scattermapbox traces
• Equal Earth projection: New map projection option for geo subplots
• Pattern fills: Pattern support extended to pie, funnelarea, sunburst, icicle, and treemap charts
• Editable selections: Persistent and editable selections over cartesian subplots with editSelection config option
• Axis label aliases: labelalias for simplified axis label customization
• Grid styling: griddash property and minor tick/grid line styling options

Also includes a security fix for prototype pollution and ~90KB bundle size reduction.

See the plotly.js releases page for the full changelog.

Improvements

• save_image() now works with kaleido v1.0 and higher. (#2447)

Bug fixes

• plotly_build() now works with ggmatrix objects (e.g., from GGally::ggpairs()). (#2447)
• Closed [#2415]: ggplotly() now shows variables named 'group' in tooltips when mapped to aesthetics like colour.
• Closed [#2455], [#2460]: ggplotly() no longer creates empty shapes when panel.border is element_blank() (ggplot2 4.0.0 compatibility).
• Closed [#2466]: ggplotly() no longer errors when scale_*_manual() has unused aesthetics (e.g., aesthetics = c("colour", "fill") when only colour is used).
• Closed [#2305]: ggplotly() now respects geom_boxplot(outlier.shape = NA) to hide outlier points.
• Closed [#2467]: ggplotly() now correctly shows legends and splits traces when scales have multiple aesthetics.
• Closed [#2407], [#2187]: ggplotly() now translates legend.position theme element to plotly layout (supports "bottom", "top", "left", and numeric positions).
• Closed [#2281]: ggplotly() no longer drops legends when geom_blank() is present in the plot.
