While it is a major update, there should be no breaking changes aside from those noted in the Compatibility section below. ## Compatibility With the release of FontAwesome v7, we have marked v5 as End-of-Life. Both v6 and v7 will continue to be supported. In `react-fontawesome v3.0.0` we have also dropped support for End-of-Life versions of React and Node.js as well as IE11 browser support. If you need to use `react-fontawesome` with legacy versions, please consult the table below. | React version | react-fontawesome version | FontAwesome Core versions | Node versions | | ------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------- | ---------------- | | >= 18.0.0 | 3.x.x | 6.x, 7.x | 20.x, 22.x, 24.x | | >= 16.3.0 | 0.2.x | 5.x, 6.x, 7.x | 18.x, 20.x | | < 16.3.0 | 0.1.x | 5.x, 6.x | 14.x, 16.x | Official documentation is hosted at fontawesome.com: [Check it out here](https://docs.fontawesome.com/web/use-with/react) ## How to Help Review the following docs before diving in: - [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) - [CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) And then: - Check the [existing issues](https://github.com/FortAwesome/react-fontawesome/issues) and see if you can help! ## Contributors The following contributors have either helped to start this project, have contributed code, are actively maintaining it (including documentation), or in other ways being awesome contributors to this project. **We'd like to take a moment to recognize them.** | Name | GitHub | | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | Nate Radebaugh | [@NateRadebaugh](https://github.com/NateRadebaugh) | | Kirk Ross | [@kirkbross](https://github.com/kirkbross) | | Prateek Goel | [@prateekgoel](https://github.com/prateekgoel) | | Naor Torgeman | [@naortor](https://github.com/naortor) | | Matthew Hand | [@mmhand123](https://github.com/mmhand123) | | calvinf | [@calvinf](https://github.com/calvinf) | | Bill Parrott | [@chimericdream](https://github.com/chimericdream) | | Mike Lynch | [@baelec](https://github.com/baelec) | | Lukáš Rod | [@rodlukas](https://github.com/rodlukas) | | Proudust | [@proudust](https://github.com/proudust) | | Tiago Sousa | [@TiagoPortfolio](https://github.com/TiagoPortfolio) | | Alexey Victorov | [@AliMamed](https://github.com/AliMamed) | | Calum Smith | [@cpmsmith](https://github.com/cpmsmith) | | squiaios | [@squiaios](https://github.com/squiaios) | | WyvernDrexx | [@WyvernDrexx](https://github.com/WyvernDrexx) | | Jon Defresne | [@jdufresne](https://github.com/jdufresne) | | Charles Harwood | [@charles4221](https://github.com/charles4221) | | Font Awesome Team | [@FortAwesome](https://github.com/orgs/FortAwesome/people) | If we've missed someone (which is quite likely) submit a Pull Request to us and we'll get it resolved. ## Releasing this project (only project owners can do this) See [DEVELOPMENT.md](DEVELOPMENT.md#release)
