### Where did Font Awesome 5, 4 (or 3) go?
|
|
|
|
Now that Font Awesome 6 has been released we are marking version 5 as Long Term
|
|
Suport (LTS). Version 5 will get critical bug fixes only. Version 3 and 4 are
|
|
now end-of-life and we don't plan on releasing any further versions of the 4.x
|
|
or 3.x.
|
|
|

|
|

|
## 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 https://semver.org.
|
|
|
|
**The major version "6" 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
|

We've kept attribution comments terse, so we ask that you do not actively work
|

to remove them from files, especially code. They're a great way for folks to

learn about Font Awesome.
