now you can download d3 v6 support version, directly from npm registry by:

npm i billboard.js@next

Given that there are already a bunch of fixes planned for 2.2, I would suggest making a 2.2 release containing these fixes, and then a 3.0 release with the d3v6 work just after that.

@michkami not that you can still probably use IE 11 with the newer version, if you take care of 2 steps:

configure your build tool to transpile the code for d3 packages (and maybe also for the billboard.js package depending on how 3.0 would be built), as they are shipped with ES6 syntax now (intentionally so that they all break in IE 11 if not transpiled)
load the necessary polyfills (for sure, Map and Set are used in d3 packages, maybe some other features) AFAICT, d3 v6 does not use any feature that cannot be either transpiled or polyfilled for IE 11. Of course, this still means that IE-specific bugs will probably not be fixed by maintainers (but that’s true also if you stick to an older release which would not receive any fixes anymore)
