Updates

• Release 79.0-2021.01.31 AWS published icons.

Breaking Changes

Here are the significant changes to this release:

• Minimal curation of icon or category names, with the exception that the GeneralIcons category has been mapped to General as in previous releases. NOTE: This affects use of the main branch.
• Apache Batik is now use to general all icons from the source SVG. Resource icons which are transparent by default have a white background set to increase the fidelity of the PlantUML sprites.
• The builder script and supporting class have been changed to extract the parsing logic from different points in the code and placed in a global variable. This will move to a configuration file and command line argument in later releases.
• Category names with and (or & such as Management and Governance -> ManagementAndGovernance in the older releases) have been renamed without them (e.g, ManagementGovernance). The InternetOfThings category case (Of) has been kept instead of the defaultInternetofThings.
• The GroupIcons have been removed from the source assets. If there is demand to have these restored, we can look and creating a local set of persistent source files.
• The icon-builder.py process now uses -Djava.awt.headless=true when creating the PUML and PNG files. It will no longer will have the subprocesses take mouse focus.
