Added

Upon upgrading Font Awesome from version 4 to 6, the solid family was selected by default. However, FA6 includes additional families such as regular and brands. Support for these families has now been integrated, allowing icons defined with icon_system::FONTAWESOME to use them. Icons can add the FontAwesome family (fa-regular, fa-brands, fa-solid) near the icon name to display it using this styling.

core_form

Added

Previously, the 'duration' form field type would allow users to input positive or negative durations. However looking at all the uses, everyone was expecting this input type to only accept times >= 0 seconds, and almost no-one was bothering to write manual form validation, leading to subtle bugs. So now, by default this field type will validate the input value is not negative. If you need the previous behaviour, there is a new option 'allownegative' which you can set to true. (The default is false.)
