Comment (by Clorith):

 I had a quick look, it's a simple process to re-introducing everything
 with the exception of the spinner icon.

 Previously we attached the icon to `.update-message:before`, but we now
 target `.update-message p:before` instead.

 Re-introduction with the spinner would mean that shiny updates receives
 two of them, so this might require some output changes to shiny updates
 output as well. Alternatively we could omit the icon and just attach the
 other styles so it doesn't look like something is broken?


 Replying to [comment:4 afragen]:
 > I'm not sure why the plugin dev is not responsible for updating their
 code. Isn't this exactly why we release betas?

 It is, but there's quite a few plugins that utilizes this approach, and
 expecting them all to have sorted it is (unfortuantely) unrealistic, and
 having a somewhat broken UI isn't great for the user, and the user should
 always be our priority.

 Normally if we introduce things that could break how things are perceived,
 we'd have included it in one of the posts leading up to the release
 though, but the CSS changes haven't been mentioned so many authors may be
 blissfully unaware of this change.
