It's been just over a year since our first release candidate, but I believe we can now release SVGO v4.0.0 with confidence! Thank you to all contributors who tested our RC builds and reported issues back up, this really smoothed out the process.

We actually wanted to do the release sooner, but it was a challenge to find the right time to publish a major release, since that means setting time aside to support users through migrations, helping downstream projects migrate, being available to fix or document things that users found to have an unexpected impact by this release, etc. I appreciate everyone's patience, and now that this is done, we can hopefully increase the pace of development again and tackle that backlog of old bugs. ^-^'

Breaking Changes

Please refer to the Migration Guide from v3 to v4 for a more concise version! This section is more verbose as it delves into the motivation of changes too.

Dropped Support for Node.js v14

Node.js v14 is no longer supported by the Node.js team, including security support, since 30 April 2023. Node.js v16 is no longer supported either, but as some are still using it, we'll save dropping support for Node.js v16 for the next major release.

This allows us to update our dependencies to more recent versions and to access more modern Node.js APIs.

Node.js v14 may still work at the time of this release, but we'll no longer be testing against v14 from now on.

Default Plugins

Both removeViewBox and removeTitle have been disabled by default. Both have been major pain points for users and don't make sense to enable in most cases. Other libraries wrapping SVGO have also been disabling these plugins by default, such as Docusaurus and SVGR.

  • removeViewBox removes the scalability of SVGs.
  • removeTitle reduces accessibility, which preserving accessibility is more important than optimization.

If you would like either of these plugins enabled, you can do so by configuring it in the SVGO config, see the README for more context, however please read the warnings described in the documentation of the plugins first:

  export default {
    plugins: [
      'preset-default', // built-in plugins enabled by default
+     'removeViewBox',
+     'removeTitle',
    ],
  };
removeScriptElement → removeScripts

The removeScriptElement plugin has been renamed to removeScripts, to more accurately reflect what the plugin does. It does not only remove the <script> tag, but also event handlers and script URIs from links.

To migrate, amend your SVGO config to refer to removeScripts instead if you use that plugin.

  export default {
    plugins: [
      'preset-default', // built-in plugins enabled by default
-     'removeScriptElement',
+     'removeScripts',
    ],
  };
Imports/Exports

We now enforce boundaries between the intended public API and any internal structures/helpers. This is the biggest change in SVGO's JavaScript API and will enable maintainers and users to have a mutual understanding of what is public API and what isn't.

There are two ways to import SVGO:

  • svgo — for normal usage, such as scripts or server-side applications.
  • svgo/browser — for browser usage.

If you use the browser bundle, you must amend how you import SVGO:

- import { optimize } from 'svgo/dist/svgo.browser.js';
+ import { optimize } from 'svgo/browser';

For ESM/browser, you must use named imports:

// ESM and Browser, named exports
import { VERSION } from 'svgo';
console.log(VERSION);  // 4.0.0-rc.0

// ESM and Browser, import all
import * as svgo from 'svgo/browser';
console.log(svgo.VERSION); // 4.0.0-rc.0

// Common JS, default export
const svgo = require('svgo');
console.log(svgo.VERSION);  // 4.0.0-rc.0

// CommonJS, named exports
const { VERSION } = require('svgo');
console.log(VERSION); // 4.0.0-rc.0

We support 3 environments, ESM, Common JS, and browser. The only functional difference is that the loadConfig function is not exported in the browser bundle.

If you depended on a helper that we haven't declared as public, then you are encouraged to implement it yourself, or dig into our source and copy it over to your project.

Importing Plugins

If you import/require the array of built-in plugins, or a single plugin during runtime, this is now a top-level export instead:

// builtin.mjs - get an array of all built-in plugins
- import { builtin } from 'svgo/lib/builtin';
+ import { builtinPlugins } from 'svgo'

// plugin.mjs - get a single plugin
- import presetDefault from 'svgo/plugins/preset-default';
+ import { builtinPlugins } from 'svgo';
+ const prefixDefault = builtinPlugins.find(plugin => plugin.name === 'preset-default');

// plugin-map.mjs - get all plugins as a map using the plugin name as a key
import { builtinPlugins } from 'svgo';
const pluginMap = builtinPlugins.reduce((acc, val) => acc.set(val.name, val), new Map());
Selector Helpers

The XastNode#parentNode property was declared legacy and pending removal for v4, but was still used internally. The remaining instances have now been removed, which required a refactor of the selector helpers.

This effects custom plugins that use any of the following functions, where the selector (2nd) argument could reference parent or sibling nodes (i.e. div > span):

  • querySelectorAll
  • querySelector
  • matches

Previously, these functions had the context of the whole node tree, even if a child node was passed to it. It no longer has that context by default. The new API for these functions is as follows:

// applies `selector` with the context of the `childNode` and its descendants
const nodes = querySelectorAll(childNode, selector);

// applies `selector` with the context of the entire node tree relative from `childNode`
// the `rootNode` is required if the result of `selector` may depend on the parent or sibling of `childNode`
const nodes = querySelectorAll(childNode, selector, rootNode);

// this usage has the same behavior as v3, as `rootNode` is already the entire node tree 
const nodes = querySelectorAll(rootNode, selector);

A helper has been provided named #mapNodesToParents, which does this for you. This can be used to easily migrate to the new API. If you're not sure if you need it, then it's safer to take this approach. The third argument won't be necessary if selector does not traverse nodes, for example, querying using one or more attributes of a single node.

- import { querySelectorAll } from 'svgo';
+ import { querySelectorAll, mapNodesToParents } from 'svgo';

- const nodes = querySelectorAll(childNode, selector);
+ const nodes = querySelectorAll(childNode, selector, mapNodesToParents(rootNode));

What Else

ESM

SVGO is now a dual package, serving for both Common JS and ESM usage. To be more explicit, SVGO will continue to work on Common JS projects!

Thanks to @​jdufresne for doing the bulk of the work.

Default Behavior
  • convertColors, now converts all references to colors excluding references to IDs to lowercase. This can be disabled by setting convertCase to false.
Bug Fixes
Features
  • Add VERSION export so get the version of SVGO during runtime. By @​SethFalco in #​2016
  • Introduce an isPreset and plugins property to plugins, which are only defined for presets. This will indicate if the plugin is a preset, and return the plugins that are in the preset in the order they are invoked.
SVG Optimization
  • convertColors, introduce parameter to convert colors to common casing (lowercase/uppercase). By @​JayLeininger in #​1692
  • removeDeprecatedAttrs, new plugin that is disabled by default to remove SVG attributes that are deprecated. By @​jdufresne in #​1869
  • removeEditorsNSData, include Boxy SVG namespace in the list of editor namespaces to remove. By @​sisp in #​2008
  • removeEditorsNSData, include Krita namespace in the list of editor namespaces to remove. By @​SethFalco in #​2131
Performance
Developer Experience
  • We now generate our type declarations from JSDoc comments instead of maintaining them manually. Types will be much more accurate, include more documentation, and are guaranteed to be in sync with the implementation.

Dependency Update Review: svgo v3.3.3 → v4.0.1

This is a Renovate-managed update pinning the svgo transitive dependency (via resolutions in docs/package.json) to the latest major version.

What's happening

svgo is not a direct dependency of the docs site — it's pulled in transitively (likely by Docusaurus or its SVG-handling plugins). The resolutions field forces all consumers to use the pinned version.

Noteworthy items

Security improvement: svgo v4.0.1 enforces sax >= 1.5.0, which improves protection against XML entity expansion attacks. This is a good reason to accept the major bump.

Resolution scope: The yarn.lock entry svgo@4.0.1, svgo@^3.0.2, svgo@^3.2.0 shows that all transitive consumers requesting ^3.x ranges are being overridden to v4. This is intentional behavior of the resolutions field, but worth being aware of — if any transitive dependency relied on svgo v3-specific APIs (e.g., removeScriptElement renamed to removeScripts, or the changed querySelectorAll signature), it could silently break SVG optimization in the docs build.

Breaking changes in v4: The major breaking changes (import restructuring, plugin renames, selector helper API changes) only matter if custom SVGO config or plugins are used. Since this repo doesn't appear to have a custom svgo.config.js in the docs directory, the default preset change (disabling removeViewBox and removeTitle) is the most likely behavioral difference — preserving SVG scalability and accessibility is arguably better behavior anyway.

Lock file: The cascading dependency updates (css-tree v2 → v3, mdn-data 2.0.30 → 2.27.1, commander v7 → v11, picocolors 1.0.0 → 1.1.1) all look consistent with the svgo v4 requirements.

Verdict

The change looks correct and safe for a docs site with no custom SVGO configuration. The security improvement in v4.0.1 (sax entity expansion guards) is a good justification for accepting this major version bump.

Review: svgo v3.3.3 → v4.0.1 (Renovate Bot Update)

This is a follow-up to the previous review. The PR updates the svgo resolution pin in docs/package.json from v3.3.3 to v4.0.1.

Summary of Changes

The diff is clean and straightforward:

  • docs/package.json: resolution pin updated from 3.3.3 to 4.0.1
  • docs/yarn.lock: cascading dependency updates (css-tree v2→v3, mdn-data 2.0.30→2.27.1, commander v7→v11, picocolors 1.0.0→1.1.1, sax ≥1.5.0 enforced)

Assessment

No concerns with this update. The previous review comments identified all relevant considerations, and nothing has changed since then that would affect the assessment:

  1. CI is passing where it matters — The "Test Deploy to GitHub Pages" check passed successfully (1m44s), which is the most relevant validation that the docs build works correctly with svgo v4. This is the key signal that the major version bump did not break anything in practice.

  2. Security — The sax ≥ 1.5.0 enforcement in v4.0.1 provides improved XML entity expansion guards. This is a concrete security improvement.

  3. No custom SVGO config — Since the docs directory doesn't use a custom svgo.config.js, the breaking API changes in v4 (renamed plugins, restructured imports, selector helper changes) are not applicable.

  4. Behavioral change is benign — The default-preset change (disabling removeViewBox and removeTitle) means docs SVGs will preserve scalability and accessibility attributes, which is better behavior.

  5. Lock file consistency — All transitive dependency bumps are consistent and expected for svgo v4's stated requirements.

Verdict

Approve. The docs deploy check passed, Codacy and Snyk show no new issues, and the update brings a security improvement. Safe to merge.

Follow-up Review: svgo v3.3.3 → v4.0.1

This is a Renovate-managed resolution pin update for svgo in docs/package.json, scoped entirely to the docs site. The diff is limited to docs/package.json and docs/yarn.lock — there are no changes to any C# source, source generators, test projects, or .csproj files.

Previous review points — all remain valid

Both prior claude reviews correctly identified the key considerations:

  • No custom svgo.config.js in the docs directory, so v4 breaking API changes (plugin renames, import restructuring, selector helper signature changes) do not apply.
  • The default-preset behavioral change (disabling removeViewBox and removeTitle) is a net improvement for SVG scalability and accessibility.
  • The sax >= 1.5.0 enforcement in v4.0.1 is a concrete security improvement (XML entity expansion guards).
  • All cascading lock file updates (css-tree v2→v3, mdn-data 2.0.30→2.27.1, commander v7→v11) are consistent with svgo v4's stated requirements.

Current CI state

Checks are currently pending on a new run (the "Test Deploy to GitHub Pages" check, which is the key validation for this change, previously passed in an earlier run per the prior reviews). Snyk security shows 9 tests passing with no new issues.

No new concerns

Nothing in the diff raises concerns beyond what was already analyzed. This is a straightforward docs-toolchain dependency bump with no impact on TUnit's .NET core, source generators, test engine, or AOT compatibility.

Safe to merge once CI completes successfully.
