Font Awesome 6 Update

[iamdarkle]

Feature Request

Officially Font Awesome 6 will be released in February 2022, so I think maybe this issue could already be added to the next cycle.

The latest version 6.0.0-beta3 uses exactly the same licenses that are currently used in FA 5 (CC BY 4.0, Fonts: SIL OFL 1.1, Code: MIT License) so no changes in the license should be expected, in fact, the new docs are almost finished and there is no mention of any change in this regard.

• Upgrade to FA 6: https://fontawesome.com/v6.0/docs/web/setup/upgrading/

I'll just point out that we currently rely on https://github.com/components/font-awesome for FA files, and thus cannot update until they do (unless we change how we include FA in Flarum)

FA6 is out for all :)

@ingeniumdesign We are aware and we did attempt to update, what we found though is that we can't because our LESS compiler is incapable of handing the files provided by FA. We are still digging into how we're going to handle this but it likely won't be part of any minor releases.
