Every bug is important, but I think releasing often is more important. Apart 
from IVY-1485 which is kind of special, I think we should release what we have.

I had a quick look, but as commented in an earlier email, the commit in your PR 
brings a lot of stuff. I haven’t noticed anything wrong about the SVG stuff (I 
was worried about the huge IvyLogo.java duplicating the svg file, but it was 
nicely documented that it was generated and how, so it is OK). But if you want 
a more proper review, please make a dedicated PR.

IIRC, we agree to a least make the change in a backward compatible way, and 
then have a deeper discussion (vote?) about an API break. Are we still on track 
?
