Code of conduct
We will behave ourselves if you behave yourselves. For more details see our .Contributing
Please read through our . Included are directions for opening issues.Versioning
Font Awesome will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible. Releases will be numbered with the following format:<major>.<minor>.<patch>
For more information on SemVer, please visit .
The major version "5" is part of an umbrella release. It includes many different types of files and technologies. Therefore we deviate from normal SemVer in the following ways:
- Any release may update the design, look-and-feel, or branding of an existing icon
- We will never intentionally release a patch version update that breaks backward compatibility
- A minor release may include backward-incompatible changes but we will write clear upgrading instructions in UPGRADING.md
- A minor or patch release will never remove icons
- Bug fixes will be addressed as patch releases unless they include backward incompatibility then they will be minor releases
