Hi RocketTheme!
Could you PLEASE update the FontAwesome files in the gantry library to the recent FontAwesome version, when a Gantry update is ready?
Every Gantry update, some of my costumers called me, that there is "somthing wrong with the site" and every Gantry update I have to update FontAwesome by hand, add the missing icons and benefits from the last FontAwesome release. This is not funny!
So PLEASE bring the FontAwesome files to the latest release when updating Gantry!

Yes, I don't understand why FontAwesome in Gantry is always out of date. There are regular Gantry updates but these never include an update to FontAwesome.
Is there some technical reason that prevents RT from updating FontAwesome?

It is kind of tough to automate it, as changes to the css in there can affect how some of our templates styling work (he changes more than just adding new icons often with additional functionality, bug fixes, etc) so we have to go through and diff line by line see what was added and changed, then test against several of our templates to make sure there are no unintended style problems
That is the main reason why we don't follow exactly each update of FontAwesome when it is released. It would be different situation if we would provide font with each template itself instead of Gantry framework but then again, this would just enlarge template's packages.
There is just no perfect solution to this
