🚀 New Feature​

web​

• Added video-icon on TextOnImageTeaser when articleType is video !1305

kotlin-tokens​

• Figma, css and zephr backend tokens can differ in casing, separator used (_-.), and special characters. To make this more flexible we now convert the token name to snake case and remove special characters. To do so we introduced a feature that lets you describe tokens more safe using enums. These enums are especially usefull when building components so an implementer can pick an enum instead of any string value !1299.

• Centralize versions for chameleon && move to kotlin 1.9.20. Whit this move we now offer a file named versions.toml that can be used in the components package to align the versions of the token package. Thus removing lots of manual work to change version numbers in serveral places which could lead to inconsistant build results. !1311

• [unresolved] Open issue remains to align this token string to value mapping by using snake casing with swift-tokens. This issue is described in MHDS-2493
