Hey @sjerd,
Yes we dropped animated font icons (too many problems with different browsers displaying/animating fonts differently). Instead, we will be creating a separate repo or “pack” full of various SVG loading spinners, all of which will not be part of a font. This is just a much better solution.
Beta14 will not be updating to the latest version of ionicons. It will be referencing the previous version, which can be found here. The next release will be include the new loading spinners and use ionicons 2.0.
Hope that clears up any confusion!
