Dylan Araps cb6250f981 Docs: Changelog

9.5 KiB
Raw Blame History

From the 2.0 release but it applies here too:

Some of the config options/arguments were renamed/changed and Neofetch will warn you on run if you're using deprecated options (neofetch -v). For this release I recommend using this release with a fresh config file so that you can make use of the new documentation.

I say this every release; This changelog is incomplete, for a full list of changes take a look through the commit history. Neofetch now has an unspoken commit style so reading the commit history won't hurt as much as it used to.

Thanks to everyone who contributed this release, there were a lot of new faces this time around. :)

Contributors

IRC

Neofetch now has an irc channel at #neofetch on Freenode. If you have any questions, issues or ideas feel free to join the irc channel and I'll be happy to assist you. I know that we've already got the gitter chat but hopefully this makes things easier for those without a github account. :)

Freenode

OS

  • Added support for AIX.
  • Added support for AntiX.
  • Added support for GNU/kFreeBSD.
  • Added support for Gentoo FreeBSD.
  • Added support for GrombyangOS.
  • Added support for Joyent SmartOS.
  • Added support for Mer.
  • Added support for MINIX.
  • Added support for MX.
  • Added support for Open Source Media Center (OSMC).
  • Added support for SalentOS.
  • Added support for TrueOS.
  • Added support for Windows (MSYS2).

General

  • Travis now runs shellcheck on every commit and pull request.
  • Optimize usage of get_de(), get_wm() and get_term().
    • We were calling these multiple times, we now check to see if they were run previously.
  • Optimize info caching, only check for cache files in scripts that use caching.
  • Cleanup main().
  • Renamed old_flags() --> old_options().
  • The manpage is now generated using help2man. help2man parses the output of --help and --version to create a manpage. This ensures that our manpage stays 1:1 with the script documentation. We actually found a lot of outdated info in the old manpage thanks to this.
    • A new flag was added called --gen-man which generates a neofetch manpage in your current directory.
  • Delete most of info() and instead call prin().
    • This removes a lot of duplicate code between info() and prin().
  • Remove printf subshells and instead use printf -v to declare the variables.
  • Set fixed $PATH in the beginning of the script.
  • Fixed artifacts when using line-breaks in TTYs.
  • Removed executable permission from config files. BASH can source them even if they're un-executable.
  • All errors are now sent to stderr.

Info

Shell<br >

  • [Fish] Fixed memory leak caused by Fish.
  • Added support for xonsh.
  • Fixed version output on ksh.
  • Rewrote the function to remove duplicate code. All shells now use $SHELL --version to get the version info, with the exception of mksh which doesn't have a --version flag.

Uptime<br >

  • Moved duplicate code to a function.
  • Changed $uptime_shorthand to on by default.

Desktop Environment<br >

  • Fixed issues where MATE wouldn't be detected properly.
  • Added fallback to $DESKTOP_SESSION, $MATE_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID and $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID.
  • Hide Desktop Environment if it matches Window Manager.

CPU<br >

  • [Linux] Don't simplify cpufreq speed option names for no reason.
  • [Linux] Fixed issues with CPU name detection for architectures other than x86/amd64/ARM.
  • [NetBSD] Remove case statement in favor of 1 line test.
  • Remove case sensitive substitutions.
    • We match everything case insensitively so they were pointless.
  • Simplify check for low CPU speeds.
  • Expanded cpu_temp to take the values C and F. This means you can now display the CPU temperature as Fahrenheit.

CPU Usage<br >

  • Added Haiku cores command.
  • Updated Linux and macOS commands to the match the commands in the get_cpu() function.

GPU<br >

  • [Linux] Each GPU is now printed on a separate line.
  • [Linux] Added --gpu_type / $gpu_type which lets you display all, dedicated or integrated GPUs.

Memory<br >

  • [Solaris] Fixed inaccurate used memory size.

Resolution<br >

  • [Windows] Declare variables locally to fix conflicts in other functions.

Birthday Install Date<br >

  • Renamed get_birthday() -- > get_install_date()
  • Removed all date usage from get_install_date().
  • Added a new function called convert_time() which takes the time stamped ls output and converts it to a pretty format. The function only uses bash so its much faster than calling date. This makes things simple and keeps the output consistent across all Operating Systems. Example: 2016-12-06 16:58:58.000000000 --> Tue 06 Dec 2016 4:58 PM
  • Added an option so users can choose between using 24-hour and 12-hour time format
  • get_install_date() will detect which ls program is being used instead of hardcoding them per OS.

Disk<br >

  • Rewrote function from scratch.
    • The function is 40 lines smaller than before and works on all [1] versions of df we tested on [2].
  • Added the option/flag disk_show which allows you to specify which disks, mount points or directories to show the disk info of. (One per line)
  • Added the option/flag disk_subtitle which allows you to specify how we label each disk. (Mount point or Disk name)
  • Removed all percentage calculation since df already provides us with the percentage.
  • Warn the user if df isn't installed.
  • Fixed broken output if df wasn't installed but the function was enabled.

[1] The function doesn't work on Haiku since their df is wildly non-standard. (The output format and flags are 100% different from all of the other df versions floating around.)

[2] Tested on GNU, Busybox, BSD, Solaris and macOS df versions.

Theme<br >

  • [KDE] Don't display GTK Themes if KDE is detected.
  • [KDE] If kde[0-9]-config isn't found, try and look for $HOME/.kde.

  • Fixed WM Theme not detected on MATE. @mstraube
  • Fixed WM Theme detection on KDE. @mstraube

Local IP<br >

  • [BSD and Solaris] Merged the detection to Linux.
  • [Windows] Support multiple interfaces.

Color Blocks<br >

  • Use start++ instead of adding it manually after case. @konimex
  • Fixed bug where color blocks wouldn't respect width in TTYs.
  • Cursor positioning now takes $block_height into account.
  • Fixed all artifacts in virtual consoles.
  • Merged $start and $end into an array called block_range.
    • This makes the config option match the command-line flag --block_range.

Images

  • [iTerm2] Fixed blank images.
  • Fixed bug where image mode would attempt to run in a TTY.

Wallpaper

  • Decode URI filenames.

Ascii
