 ### Features
 
+- **core**: Added the `named_svgs` module to enable sharing SVGs using string keys, replacing the need for `IconTheme`. (#658 @M-Adoo)
 - **core**: The `keyframes!` macro has been introduced to manage the intermediate steps of animation states. (#653 @M-Adoo)
 - **core**: Added `QueryId` as a replacement for `TypeId` to facilitate querying types by Provider across different binaries. (#656 @M-Adoo)
 - **widgets**: Added `LinearProgress` and `SpinnerProgress` widgets along with their respective material themes. (#630 @wjian23 @M-Adoo)
