- Will be removed in v0.26.0

*** Add 'lightbulb' icon to 'interactions' pack *** Also introduce OO.ui.getDefaultOverlay function that provides a more solid default OOUI overlay handling within other core theme elements (Bartosz Dziewoński) * Ongoing: ** OOUI & based products: *** icons: Finalizing work on icon set to be more harmonious and align to WikimediaUI Style Guide https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177432 – currently addressing remaining RTL issues ** Unify SVG markup across Foundation products https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178867 *** All products aligned *** Introducing per-project proof SVGO optimization for future SVG additions, see also https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Coding_conventions/SVG
