Great news! Though I’m confused, wasn’t Makie 0.21 released back in February?

> Added supported markers hint to unsupported marker warn message #3666.

Something new happened now? Or is just that the official announcement was delayed until this moment?

that was when we created a github release to be able to have a separate set of reference images for the preparation of the actual release, the actual release was only recently
