  • Notable Changes

    • ⚡️ Update SVG rendering to produce fully compliant XML. (#2672)

      • Prefer use of let and const to var.
    • 📚 Upgrade the documentation examples to use vega-datasets 2.0+, including swapping out the Iris dataset for a more adorable Penguins dataset. 🐧
    • 🛠 Various bug fixes, documented below.
