Changed

• Updated lazysizes.js and the bundled plugins to 4.0.2.
• Run post_thumbnail_html filter later (priority 500, like for the the_content filter call, instead of 10), to fix a problem that appears when used with Responsify WP (thanks jgadbois).
• Moved the add_noscript_element() method call to the beginning of the modify_*_markup methods. With that, there is no need to remove the lazyload class in the add_noscript_element() method, because it was not added yet.

Added

• lazy_load_responsive_images_inline_styles filter for modifying the inline CSS (for modification, you also need to add the opening and closing style tags). If you use the spinner option and the filter, you need to add the spinner styles, because they are part of the filtered CSS (Gist with the spinner styles used by default).
• Option to display a loading spinner and define its color.

Changed

• Use style inside noscript element to hide .lazyload images if no JS instead of adding a js class via JS to the html element.
