+### Added
+- GeoChart: Add a `domain` prop that draws disputed borders from a given country's viewpoint. [#52805]
+
+### Deprecated
+- Deprecate getColorDistance, which is not perceptual and is no longer used to generate palette colors. [#52680]
+
+### Fixed
+- Bar chart: End a keyboard selection when the pointer moves over the chart, instead of flickering between the hovered and selected bars. [#52821]
+- Keep generated series colors distinguishable from each other, including for color-blind viewers, and legible on the chart background; pick pie label text that contrasts with each slice. [#52680]

 Outside forced-colors mode, `--a8c-charts-color-label-axis` derives from `--a8c-charts-color-label`, so setting the broad role moves every label at once and setting the narrow one moves only the SVG axis labels. See [One pair of roles per axis](#one-pair-of-roles-per-axis) for forced-colors defaults.

 There is no stylesheet and no class involved. In particular the axes need neither: visx takes a separate style object per axis, so each one is handed its own roles and nothing has to distinguish them after the fact.
 
-What else crosses in JS is what something reads as a *value*: the series palette, which visx turns into its `colorScale`, and the background, which the default glyph, the area-chart band, the line-chart gradient stops, the heatmap's contrast math and `GeoChart` each consume as a concrete string.

 **The tooltip used to be the one painted exception, because visx painted it outside the scope.** `@visx/tooltip` appends each portal container straight to `document.body`, where the catalog is not declared, so a chain handed to one reached only its own hardcoded fallback — never the role, never a consumer's override. Charts no longer take that route: the box renders into the chart's own wrapper and the crosshairs and glyphs are drawn into the chart SVG, both inside the scope, so a chain handed to either resolves there natively.
