Could you explain why v4 was released and what has changed please?
The major version bump suggests a breaking change but it's not obvious what that is.

This, and yarn tells me that:

warning flag-icon-css@3.5.0: The package has been renamed to flag-icons

but when I try to install it as flag-icons:

Couldn't find any versions for "flag-icons" that matches "^4.0.0"
Please choose a version of "flag-icons" from this list: (Use arrow keys)
2.0.0
1.0.2 ...

I was fast to try to rename the project.. it's another project that has the same name.. working on it.. but. you should be able to install version 4 from npm..

Thanks @lipis
Is the new package identical/compatible with the previous package?
