Any plan to upgrade Font Awesome icon-set to v6.0?

[ohmykreee]

The new and official version of Font Awesome was just launched, adding some new icons (For me the most useful new icon is fa-bilibili).

So I'd like to ask if there is any plan to upgrade it to v6.0? Thanks.

Let me check if we can upgrade to v6.0.

Have you considered migrating to the open source ForkAwesome?

What would be the advantages of using ForkAwesome instead of FontAwesome?

[metbril]

For starters, ForkAwesome maintains the V4 way the icons are used, so no fas- for regular icons and fab- for brands. (Might be a personal preference.)

Additionally, it is community maintained. So it should be easier to have icons added.

Font Awesome V5 is really showing its age now new platforms are becoming established (Bluesky, Threads, etc.).

@metamec, Bilberry v4 was upgraded to using Font Awesome V6. Currently, there are no plans to use alternative icon providers.

Oh that's great! Thanks for telling me. In hugo.toml (Bilberry V4) it still says "# define your links with FontAwesome 5 (only free icons are supported)". I should have checked the FontAwesome folder before posting.
