Strange they've updated the main docs to 5.x yet their master branch is still on 4.x without a 5.x release. https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome https:/

  They're probably trying to sell the Pro version. I bought it and it was the worst purchase I've made in a while. They took some pretty idiotic decisions with v5.

    Could you go into detail, please? I was close to buying it, would like to know what annoyed you about it

      First of all, they got a lot of money from the Kickstarter campaign, and they're pushing the pro version way too much. The thing that annoyed me the most was that they changed most of the classes, making the thing incompatible with previous versions and forcing you to relearn everything. They did this to consolidate the code, but as users we don't give a damn about the code, just that the thing does what it's supposed to. I tried using their SVG version, and it works completely different from the font version: no inheriting of font color, incorrect size compared to font, etc. (Font version is fine). No CDN. Loading the thing is a pain in the ass. I'm on mobile and can't write a lot, but you get the idea. It was still in beta and it's a product that I've normally gotten for free so I probably had high expectations for the paid version, but if I wasn't lazy I would've gotten a refund. If your client is buying it, go for it. If it's your money, take your GF to dinner.
