Chap 1.19.9

Added new Semantic UI Icon theme – Font Awesome SVG. When used, icons will be rendered as inline SVGs instead of loading them from an icon font file. When this theme is enabled (Chap Theme -> Themes -> Icon) you will be asked to install an accompanying plugin that contains the icons, handles caching and backwards compatibility.
This eliminates the need for loading a 75kb icon font file and drops 35kb (6kb gzipped) of Semantic UI icon mapping CSS as well.
Only the icons that you use on the page are loaded.
Comes with all the latest Font Awesome 5.10.1 icons.
Enables the possibility of installing Font Awesome Pro icons if you own a license.

Dropped inline TrueType alternative font format for Accordion, Checkbox, Dropdown, Rating and Step components (reduces Semantic UI bundle size by 8.3kb). Woff is more widely supported and slightly smaller than TrueType so it no longer makes sense to provide the alternative.

Disable Search component by default as it is not necessary for Search widget or searchable dropdowns.
