Description

Any plans on upgrading to FA6? I've updated to 6 locally, but Enso still has dependencies in some modules with 5.13...

Thanks!

Sure, we want to update to fa6 asap.

Can you share your experience?

hi @aocneanu,

Unfortunately, my experience will not help you that much, since we're using the self-hosted, offline version.

From this experience I can tell you 2 things:
-that icons have changed slightly, and we are re-evaluating some of them (if they still fit properly and represent the menu accordingly) - but this is a very minor issue.

-we observed is that the names of the icons changed, but there is still a compatibility (aliases). Ex: fa-cogs (Administration menu) is not available in FA 6.1.1 (using search, on their site), but it will show you fa-gears. After upgrade, I did not changed the names but the icons were still upgraded. But finally I will go for full upgrade on my side, and try to correct the icon names where needed.

Thanks for your reply!
