SVG's SMIL animations are deprecated.

[Tenkir]

SMIL is deprecated and should be replaced with CSS animation.

I have plans to transition to CSS animations, however my free time is little. May be a bit. Any help is appreciated.

Is there any way to use the CSS animations when the SVG is used by IMG tag oder css background-image?

Currently i use one SVG-Loader here: https://my-azur.de/blog/usa-urlaub-2015-florida-roadtrip-richtung-naples-mit-vielen-stopps/ as a background image.

Huge fan of this library @SamHerbert!

I made sure sure I appended credit to you, but for everyone else; I decided to take a stab at recreating these using GSAP. You can view the demo at http://codepen.io/zslabs/full/YwygoQ/

Still a little off on some, but am happy with the direction these are going. Any contributions are welcome!

@SamHerbert from your note "NOTE: Chrome 45 has deprecated the use of SMIL animations" does this means if I use the actual loaders they won't work on Chrome ? have you fixed the issue ?

[SamHerbert]

@medBouzid It looks like the Chrome team has currently suspended the deprecation.

They are safe to use in Chrome, for now. I have been converting the icons to CSS in the next branch. However, those are not fully tested and many icons break in FireFox. You may use them at your own risk. I'd still use the SMIl icons for the time being.

@medBouzid Is it safe to use your svg-css-loaders cross browsers.

Came across this repo again and was actually surprised that I left a reply here years ago! 🤣
