Fixed

• SVGElement: The color of the fill attribute using a CSS variable will resolve as per the variable value. For now, please test this fix by enabling the feature flag in your plugin manifest "featureFlags" : { "enableFillAsCustomAttribute" : true }. This flag will be turned on by default in the next UXP release.

  Arguments can now be passed to a UXP script, and can be used within the script.

  UXP scripts now have a "result" associated with them. Set a result for a script for debugging puposes as well as passed to another script for utilization.
• Menus
  UXP scripts now have APIs which can be used to add new menu items, remove existing menu items etc. Read more.
