If you want to write this release note, then:
Once you're done with the above, make sure to either commit the relnote to an appropriate section of the Release Notes book, or, if you're not familiar with Git, AsciiDoc, or whatever else, just add it to this issue as a comment and let pbokoc[1] know that you're done with this one and you'd like the note included. Be sure to do this at least one day before the final release (October 29 according to the current schedule). Also make sure to do this even for relnotes that haven't been checked by the change owner.
[0] You can do that by asking the change owner listed on the wiki page; alternatively you can infer it by checking the tracker bug (linked in Wiki) in Bugzilla and looking at its status; see bug comments for details. Ask someone on the mailing list or on IRC if you're not sure.

We already had version 5.x in a fontawesome5 package, but most packages still used the existing fontawesome package, which was at version 4.x. This change moved version 4 into a compatibility package, fontawesome4, and updated the fontawesome package to version 6.x (currently 6.4.2). Several packages were updated from FontAwesome 4.x to 6.x during this process.
The rest of the story is in the upstream changelog. There are many new icons, and lots of improvements to icon design and CSS. Not insignificantly, this update gives us a version that contains an official Fedora icon.
