+* percentage display in partitioning charts ([#558](https://github.com/elastic/elastic-charts/issues/558)) ([d6aa8d7](https://github.com/elastic/elastic-charts/commit/d6aa8d72db1411a1967a37b5940020dc2f8037ec))
+* specify series name with a function on SeriesSpec ([#539](https://github.com/elastic/elastic-charts/issues/539)) ([358455a](https://github.com/elastic/elastic-charts/commit/358455aea73591965401f43ae4bfa4525c3d2953))

+
+
+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* The `getSpecId`, `getGroupId`, `getAxisId` and `getAnnotationId` are no longer available. Use a simple `string` instead.
+* `customSeriesColors` prop on `SeriesSpec` is now `color`. The `CustomSeriesColors` type is  replaced with `SeriesColorAccessor`.
+* Remove `customSubSeriesName` prop on series specs in favor of cleaner api using just the `name` prop on `SeriesSpec`. The types `SeriesStringPredicate`, `SubSeriesStringPredicate` have been removed.
+* the `SeriesIdentifier` type is generalized into a simplified object with two values in common: `specId` and `key`. A specialized `XYChartSeriesIdentifier` extends now the base `SeriesIdentifier`. The `SettingsSpec` prop `showLegendDisplayValue` is renamed to `showLegendExtra` and its default value is now `false` hiding the current/last value on the legend by default.
