Versioning

We use Semantic Versioning to version Simple Icons. In short, this means that version numbers are structured as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. For example, version 3.1.4 is major version 3, minor version 1, and patch 4. Increasing each of these numbers implies certain kinds of changes.

For Simple Icons, given a change to the version number you can expect the following kinds of changes:

Version number increase Kinds of changes
Major Removed icons; Renamed icons; Breaking API changes
Minor New icons; API changes
Patch Updated SVGs; Updated metadata

Release Schedule

Minor releases and patches are scheduled on a weekly basis and are generally released on a Sunday.

Major releases are scheduled on a half-year basis, mainly to remove old SVGs. That is, approximately every 6 months a normal Sunday release is a major release instead of a minor release or patch.

Deprecation

After a major release, the only other supported version is the last version of the previous major release. This previous version will only receive bug fixes to either the npm library, or our internal APIs.
