Removed

• Breaking: Remove scattermapbox, choroplethmapbox, densitymapbox trace types, the mapbox subplot, and the mapboxAccessToken config option [#7860]

• Remove all *src attributes, as well as layout.hidesources attribute, from the schema [#7829]
• Remove internal trace._fullInput property and other dead code related to the removed transforms feature. No user-facing changes expected [#7834]

Changed

• Breaking: Switch color processing library from TinyColor to color [#7536]
  • rgb()/rgba() strings with decimal 0–1 fractions are no longer supported
  • hsv() color strings are no longer permitted

  • New color formats are now supported: '#ff0000aa', '#f00a', 'rgb(255 0 0)', 'rgba(255 0 0 / 0.5)', 'hsl(0 100% 50% / 0.5)', 'hsla(0, 100%, 50%, 0.5)', 'hwb(0, 0%, 0%)'
• Breaking: Set default layout.axis.tickmode to 'sync' when axis is overlaying [#7684]
• Breaking: Change splom.axis.matches default from false to true [#7843]
• Breaking: Replace country-regex with country-iso-search to search for country names in choropleth, scattergeo traces [#7856]

v3.7.0

Changed

• Update sendDataToCloud modebar button to upload chart to Plotly Cloud [#7802, #7852, #7854]
