Long time no see! It's been a while since the last release and the issue list has gotten quite long, it's time to fix this! I've been focused on my SVG-to-Vue plugin for Vite (vite-plugin-svg) and now that we are close to a stable release of Vue 3 I wanted to clean up this plugin too. I plan to continue supporting Vue 2, but you should see Vue 3 support in the following days.
You don't need to use babel-loader with this plugin, but you need to add vue-loader before vue-svg-loader. Please check out the documentation on the dev branch to see the configuration examples.
This move saves us from many headaches: broken IE 11, issues with event listeners, custom handling of class and style bindings and a few more caused by some of my decisions.
