Lucide

DESIGN
Velocity6.3

Open-source icon library; community fork of Feather Icons with thousands of consistent SVG icons.

lucide.dev ↗

An icon set shipping weekly minors, with a single formal path from experiment to core.

◆Current state
Lucide releases a minor most weeks, and the contents are consistent: a handful of community-contributed icons, occasional consistency passes across existing ones, and CI and dependency housekeeping. The structural change this cycle was folding @lucide/lab into the main repository and removing 16 icons from it that had graduated into the core set. Recent releases have added list-clock, square-dimensions, usb-c-port, audio-lines-off, mop, car-battery, and square-text.
◆Where it's heading
Two kinds of work alternate. Additive releases absorb contributions from an evidently wide contributor base, with new names appearing in nearly every release notes. Corrective releases are the more interesting half — brand names stripped from icon tags, emoji icons renamed, calendar icons rebalanced for optical centering. That maintenance is what keeps a set this large coherent, and the lab merge extends the same logic to the pipeline: an incubator inside the same repo, with graduation expressed as deletion rather than duplication.
◆Prediction
Expect the weekly minors to continue, dominated by community icon additions, with more graduations out of @lucide/lab into the core set now that both live in one repository.

◆Recent moves

    Five icons added, including usb-c-port and audio-lines-off

    A typical additive minor: five community icons plus an icon design template for discussions and a regex efficiency fix flagged by code scanning. Routine catalogue growth, which for this project is the point rather than a lull.

    car-battery and square-text added; ESLint stack upgraded

    Two new icons from contributors, one of them a first-time contributor, alongside an ESLint v10 upgrade and an emoji category fix. The steady trickle of first contributions is the health signal in these notes.

    Three new icons: mail-badge, angle, and eject

    Three icons and nothing else, two from first-time contributors. A minimal release that shows the cadence is driven by contribution flow rather than a planned scope.

    Emoji icons renamed, shield-lock added, CI actions SHA-pinned

    A mixed release pairing additions with a rename pass over the emoji icons and SHA-pinned CI actions. The renames are the kind of breaking-adjacent tidying that a set this size needs periodically to stay navigable.

    Dependency bumps, CI permissions, and a lab build fix

    No icons in this one — dependabot grouping, workflow permissions, and a lab build repair. Infrastructure maintenance immediately preceding the lab merge.

    Lucide lab merges into the main repo, drops 16 graduated icons

    ⚡ SPARK

    The incubator stops being a separate project. Sixteen icons are removed from lab as a breaking change because they now live in the core library, which establishes graduation-by-deletion as the pipeline rather than maintaining two copies.
