recently was released new version of Font Awesome 4.0. That's great! But is there any way how to get the list of icons for previous version 3.2?
I'm still using it and i cant remember all icon names. :) And also I can't upgrade to 4.0 or at least not now. Thanks in advance.
They're here: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/3.2.1/icons/
I really think this should be linked somewhere on v4 site.
Also read upgrade guide with full list of changed names.

I need a fresh download of FA version 4.0.3 as the CMS I use contained a damaged copy. I tried using the latest (4.7.0 at this time), but CSS changes in the .fa selector cause placement issues. I'd like to roll back to 4.0.3 to maintain compatibility until we can do a whole-site regression test for this type of bug once we upgrade.
Instead of complaining in the comments, I'll just drop this in here as a weak answer.
Either you download and stash it somewhere because you need to make changes (and then reference the CSS and other assets in the appropriate way as desribed on the Get Started page) or you use a reference to a CDN in a link to a stylesheet, in which case you can specify the version in the URL.
It sounds like you are doing the former, but you should be sure. Maybe you can just use the CDN link? At any rate, you can fetch 4.0.3 from the GitHub repo
I was able to get a hold of v4.0.3 via the GitHub Releases feature.
Having done that, I discovered that somebody had modified the CSS file in our CMS to add margin-right: 5px -- and it was one of the CMS's developers! Naughty, naughty!
SO, the 'incompatibility' I saw was not between the official, unmodified 4.0.3 and 4.7.0 versions of FA. Sorry about the false alarm! And thanks for your help. :)
I used some fontawesome icons in my MVC 4 website menu and in my navbar. When I launch it using Chrome via Visual Studio 2015 all the icons shows up properly but when it comes to publishing into server, none of the icons shows up. I Didn't link font-awesome online and installed folders instead. I dont know what I am missing. Just wonder if anybody have come across a simular issue and solved before?
I would like to add up that, I'm able to upload fontawesome into server but when I open the file it looks empty this might be normal, just wanted to let you know.
(I checked other questions but none of them seems to work so for)
Any kind of help is appreciated.
use the online refference to load font-awesome.
I am still using Font Awesome 3 in my app and it seems that the docs are now v4 only? And version 4 changed the names of the classes for icons now so I'm not entirely sure which to use? For example, fa-check-square in v4 isn't icon-check-square in v3 as you'd expect, but icon-check-sign.
I have the same problem. I don't find how to access to information about the previous versions into the official page. In this version It will be a big problem because the class names was changed. I hope that the FontAwesome team solve it soon.

I see lots of documentation talking about FontAwesome 4.0 and Twitter Bootstrap 3.0 (Less/Sass) - but nothing regarding Bootstrap 2.x or the issues of trying to get them to work...
Anyone had an attempt at this already? The new class names ring alarm bells..
Thanks!
I've just upgraded from FontAwesome 2.x to 4.0 using Bootstrap 2.x and it does work.
Had to do a substantial find and replace to convert the "icon-something" to "fa fa-something" class names.
The 'font' folder is now 'fonts' although I'm unsure if that was a change in FontAwesome v3.x or 4.0.
A fair few of the icon names have changed but I guess it's just one of those (annoying) things.
I'd love to understand the reasoning for it.

I have it working with BS 2.3.2 seems fine. But the class has changed from icon-name to fa fa-name. God knows why!!!
Is it just me or there are actually icons in FontAwesome 3.x.x that are missing from FontAwesome 4.0.0? If so, this definitely makes FontAwesome much less awesome for me...
For example, I can't seem to find the equivalent to icon-remove (there is no fa-remove, or fa-delete as far as I can tell).
Having to rename all icon references in my application is annoying enough. Not being able to reproduce what was possible in 3.0 is really, really bad.
Not being able to access v3.x cheatsheet and other documentation any more: unacceptable!
icon-remove is renamed to fa-times in v4.0.0.
Quick comparison:
old one
new one
Note that some icons that seem to be missing can be easily constructed using stacking options - I have created an example for icon-remove-sign replaced by fa-times stacked on fa-circle.
Note: As #VaclavElias pointed out, icon-remove-sign is now fa-times-circle. The above is just an example of stacking.
The 4.0.0 release has the same icons as 3.2.1, but the naming conventions and many of the individual icon names have been changed.
You can view a list of changes that Geremia Taglialatela compiled over on the Github wiki for Font Awesome:
Upgrading from 3.2.1 to 4
Also, you can still access the documentation for 3.2.1 here
I wrote a little LESS file that allows the integration of the old names into the new FontAwesome version.
For this is took the list Michał Rybak posted: Upgrading from 3.2.1 to 4.0
If anyone is interested in downloading, you can find it on Github: Download v3 to v4 FontAwesome Integration
--EDITED--
Michal Rybak is actually spot on. You should submit that as an answer. The icon looks exactly the same. Can't believe I missed that.
Though I'd like to point out, in the FA site it says, if you know what it looks like you know the class name in 4.0, It think it looks like a cross, or X. I would have never guessed "times"
--ORIGINAL--
I came here looking for fa-remove as well! That's disappointing. Now it looks like I have to revert back to a previous version after having migrated 2/3rd of my app to the new version.
To answer your point about documentation: The old version can be accessed here:
http://fontawesome.io/3.2.1/
I found the link while browsing through their site and stumbled upon their notice about no IE7 compatibility.
This definitely needs to be linked (atleast) in the footer
I have noticed that the Wikipedia icon is still missing on 4.0 and even 4.3
but this workaround worked for me:
.fa-wikipedia:before { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-weight: 400;
content: "VV"; letter-spacing:-0.45em; margin-right:0.5em; }
