### Where did Font Awesome 4 (or 3) go?
|
||
|
||
Now that Font Awesome 5 has been released we are marking version 4 as
|
||
end-of-life. We don't plan on releasing any further versions of the 4.x or 3.x.
|
||
|
||
Documentation is still available but it's moved to
|
||
[https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0](https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0) and
|
||
[https://fontawesome.com/v3.2.1](https://fontawesome.com/v3.2.1).
|
||
|
||
The Git repository for
|
||
[v4.7.0](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases/tag/v4.7.0) and
|
||
[v3.2.1](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases/tag/v3.2.1) can
|
||
be found in our GitHub releases.
|
||
|
||
## Change log
|
||
|
||
We'll keep track of each release in the [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md)
|
||
|
||
Looking for older versions of Font Awesome? Check the [releases](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases).
|
||
|
||
## Upgrading
|
||
|
||
From time-to-time we'll have special upgrading instructions from one version to the next.
|
||
|
||
Check out the [UPGRADING.md](./UPGRADING.md) guide when you upgrade your dependencies.
|
||
|
||
## Code of conduct
|
||
|
||
We will behave ourselves if you behave yourselves. For more details see our
|
||
[CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
|
||
|
||
## Contributing
|
||
|
||
Please read through our [contributing guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.md). 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 http://semver.org.
|
||
|
||
**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

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

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.
