Next Release Outlook

The v3.0.0 release will bring two bigger changes:

Material Design Icons

The Material Design Icons have to move codepoints. Historically we patch them in between F500 - FD46; but part of that range is needed for Chinese and other glyphs. With #773 and Plan 5+ of #365 their new home will be after F0001. And they grow considerably.

The v2.3.x release has both, the 'old' and the 'new' codepoints to enable you an easier transision. Please change already now your prompts and other uses to the new codepoints. Release v3.0.0 will finally drop the old codepoints (F500 - FD46).

Naming

Naming will also change. The name parts will move to places where they are customarily expected (e.g. weight and style comes last). This will fix some more problems. Probably we will drop the Complete monicker, as ... everyone uses the complete versions, it just takes precious space in the names.
The details are not fixed yet, follow #1074 to keep up to date.
