Updated April 16th

Most Magento editions and versions currently use Google Image Charts to render static charts in Admin dashboards. As of March 14, 2019, Google will stop supporting Google Image Charts. To resolve this issue, we are providing a patch to replace Google Image Charts with Image-Charts free service.

Affected versions

Magento Commerce 1.14.4.1, Magento Open Source 1.9.4.1, Magento Commerce and Cloud 2.3.2 will include this chart update. Upgrading to these versions continues support for image charts without additional patches.
