Description

Previous release 3.0.1 contained very usefull sprite files ready to use (like "svg-sprite-action.svg" for instance). I couldn't find them anymore in release 4.0. Is it possible to recreate them?

Thank you

Research direction
The issue requests adding back SVG sprite files that were present in release 3.0.1 but missing in 4.0. Investigate the repository's build system (likely using Grunt or similar) to understand how sprites were generated previously. Check the build configuration files (e.g., Gruntfile.js, package.json) and any scripts in the 'scripts' directory. Compare the v3.0.1 tag to see the exact files and generation process. The task is to modify the build process to produce the sprites again, possibly fixing any breaking changes in v4.0. Maintainers have not yet responded, so clarify the expected output format.
