    Do not set element id for path generated by SvgPathImage

    The element id used is hardcoded, which may cause issues when inlining
    many qr codes in a single document.

 - Added ``GappedCircleModuleDrawer`` (PIL) to render QR code modules as non-contiguous circles. (BenwestGate in `#373`_)
+- Removed the hardcoded 'id' argument from SVG elements. The fixed element ID caused conflicts when embedding multiple QR codes in a single document. (m000 in `#385`_)
 - Improved test coveraged (akx in `#315`_)
 - Fixed typos in code that used ``embeded`` instead of ``embedded``. For backwards compatibility, the misspelled parameter names are still accepted but now emit deprecation warnings. These deprecated parameter names will be removed in v9.0. (benjnicholls in `#349`_)
 - Migrate pyproject.toml to PEP 621-compliant [project] metadata format. (hroncok in `#399`_)
