Version 5.0.0

August 18, 2026

Initial release.

Added

  • One source of truth for the version. CDN (jsDelivr or cdnjs), a Font Awesome kit, a self-hosted package, or nothing at all when the site loads its own — chosen once, in settings.
  • An icon catalogue built from Font Awesome's own metadata, with a stylesheet-parsing fallback so kits and hand-installed packages are searchable too.
  • The Icons screen: search every icon in the installed version by name, label, search term or category, and copy the Twig, the HTML, the name or the code point.
  • Icon and Icons fields, with the same picker.
  • CKEditor and Redactor integrations that insert plain <i class="fa-solid fa-user"> markup — no shortcode, no reference tag, nothing needed at render time.
  • Three render modes: web font, inline SVG, or a <use> reference into a generated sprite, switchable site-wide from one setting.
  • |awesemoIcons, which upgrades Font Awesome markup already written in rich text to whatever the site's render mode is now.
  • Duplicate removal: other copies of Font Awesome are stripped from the response, so two versions never fight over the same class names.
  • Legacy name resolution through Font Awesome's shim data — fa fa-thumbs-o-up renders as fa-regular fa-thumbs-up instead of a blank square.
  • Custom icons: upload an SVG, use it exactly like a Font Awesome one.
  • A usage scan across templates and element content, and a subset sprite built from it.
  • A health screen covering unknown names, stale catalogues, unreachable sources, missing stylesheet subsets, duplicate copies and SVG mode without path data.
  • Console commands: awesemo/catalog/build|info|search|clear, awesemo/icons/usage|sprite, awesemo/health/check.
