The build processes are broken. The source icon files need to be reworked or remade. The project focuses on icon fonts, despite icon fonts as a technology being outdated. Many other free icon sets now exist. **For more details, read the full [retrospective](posts/2023-04-10_forkawesomeIntrospection/forkawesomeIntrospection.md).

Font Awesome was originally created by [Dave Gandy](https://twitter.com/davegandy) and ran as a community project. However, as Font Awesome developed, pull requests from the community stopped being accepted (October 2016) and as of version 5.0 [the build system became private](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/12199#issuecomment-362919956) (February 2018). With gratitude to Dave Gandy and the Font Awesome team, [Julien Deswaef](https://merveilles.town/@xuv) forked Font Awesome 4.7 into [Fork Awesome 1.0](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/releases/tag/1.0.0) in February 2018, to continue building the amazing resource in a fully free, libre and open-source fashion, with and for the wider community. After a period of extended inactivity (i.e. no release since February 2019), several Fork Awesome users [got](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/issues/292) [together](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/issues/235) to try and revive the project 🌱 We are now catching up with backlogged issues and pull requests, updating technology and documentation — even reevaluating the project aims, as icon fonts gradually [become](https://www.irigoyen.dev/blog/2021/02/17/stop-using-icon-fonts/) [deprecated](https://cloudfour.com/thinks/seriously-dont-use-icon-fonts/). Come say hi in the [\#forkawesome:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#forkawesome:matrix.org) matrix room 🙂 How to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) There is a full page in our documentation website that explains [how to use Fork Awesome in your web project](https://forkaweso.me/Fork-Awesome/get-started/).

Versioning ---------- [](#versioning) Fork Awesome will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible. Releases will be numbered with the following format: `..` And constructed with the following guidelines: - Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch) - Big changes, without breaking backward compatibility, bumps the minor (and resets the patch) - Bug fixes, small adaptations, adding a few icons and misc changes bumps the patch - The fork started from FontAwesome 4.7 (last commit by Dave is [bdfa9823](https://github.com/ForkAwesome/Fork-Awesome/commits/master?after=b0bc8f6fb74e05c987ef7ce1525cd3ab8390a1c3+69)). - The project starts at version 1.0.0. All references to versions before the fork are named 0.4.7 For more information on SemVer, please visit .
