## 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>`
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-04-13 21:52:48 +00:00
|
|
|
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.

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.
