Looks awesome! Font Awesome is awesome. Awesome.

I'm going to feel like a real winner when I deploy my application that uses Bootstrap 2.3 and Font Awesome 3 since the latest re-writes of both came out while I was 75-80% done with my project.

I wouldn't worry too much about being on Font Awesome 3, most of the changes are purely semantic.

[fortawesome → jamieomatthews]

Very true. We're also seeing CSS selector speed improvements of about 30% in webkit. Hoping to do a write-up soon.

Well Done! The naming convention updates are going to be very useful.

The new naming convention is great.

Agreed...I love how they do the direction [-left],[-right] and outline [-o] thing. I already loved FA, this release just makes it even cooler.

I just wish more things had -o variants now.
