### 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

or 3.x.



You can see a complete list of versions on [our Versions

page](https://fontawesome.com/versions).

## Code of conduct



We will behave ourselves if you behave yourselves. For more details see our

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:



`..`



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

commercial projects, open source projects, or really almost whatever you want.



- 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

  - In the Font Awesome Free download, the SIL OLF license applies to all icons packaged as web and desktop font files.

Attribution is required by MIT, SIL OLF, and CC BY licenses. Downloaded Font

Awesome Free files already contain embedded comments with sufficient

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.
