Documentation
Learn how to get started with Font Awesome and then dive deeper into other advanced topics:
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 Support (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.
You can see a complete list of versions on our Versions page.

Code of conduct
We will behave ourselves if you behave yourselves. For more details see our CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.
Contributing
Please read through our contributing guidelines. 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 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
patchversion update that breaks backward compatibility - A
minorrelease may include backward-incompatible changes but we will write clear upgrading instructions in UPGRADING.md - A
minororpatchrelease will never remove icons - Bug fixes will be addressed as
patchreleases unless they include backward incompatibility then they will beminorreleases

- Icons — CC BY 4.0 License
- In the Font Awesome Free download, the CC BY 4.0 license applies to all icons packaged as .svg and .js files types.
- Fonts — SIL OFL 1.1 License

Attribution is required by MIT, SIL OLF, and CC BY licenses. Downloaded Font Awesome Free files already contain embedded comments with sufficient attribution, so you shouldn't need to do anything additional when using these files normally.
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.
