Feature request: Update FontAwesome to 6.4.2

[Will-Smith-007]

Describe the problem you'd like to see solved or task you'd like to see made easier

The FontAwesome version is very old and doesn't provide the newest icons.

Is this in relation to an existing part of angular-fontawesome or something new?

All Icons categories.

What is 1 thing that we can do when building this feature that will guarantee that it is awesome?

Please provide all current icons from the page.

Why would other angular-fontawesome users care about this?

Because everyone can use the latest icons e.g. "fa-x-twitter".

On a scale of 1 (sometime in the future) to 10 (absolutely right now), how soon would you recommend we make this feature?

10

Feature request checklist

• [x] This is a single feature (i.e. not a re-write of all of Font Awesome)
• [x] The title starts with "Feature request: " and is followed by a clear feature name (Ex: Feature request: moar cowbell)
• [x] I have searched for existing issues and to the best of my knowledge this is not a duplicate

Hm, but you can update it in your project yourself. What exactly is the issue?

$ npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core@6.4.2
$ npm install @fortawesome/free-brand-svg-icons@6.4.2

Yes, you're right this is a solution. However it would be nice if the ng add command receives an update which can install the newest version of FontAwesome. I love this selection menu and there you can't get the newest version.

With 0.14.0, the ng add command will install 6.4.2.
