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

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 We actually found a lot of outdated info in the old manpage thanks to this.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.

Info

OS <br >

  • Added support for GNU/kFreeBSD.
  • Merged all GNU Hurd instances to Linux since they work exactly the same way.

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.

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.

CPU Usage<br >

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

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

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].
  • We only show the root (/) partition now.
    • Showing a total of all disks only worked on GNU df and we had to hardcode different commands for Distros and Operating Systems that used a different df.
  • We're using the same df flags across all Operating Systems now.
    • No more ugly case statements or per distro hardcoding of df flags.
  • 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.

Song<br >

  • [cmus] Simplify block and fix artistsort bug.
  • Removed state detection.
  • Removed duplicate dbus-send commands.
  • Added support for xmms2. @z33ky

Battery<br >

  • [MacOS] Fixed issue where battery always appears as charging. @jorgegonzalez

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.

Images

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

Ascii

  • Added Ubuntu-Studio. @konimex
  • Fixed bug causing macOS ascii art to be used on other Operating Systems.
  • Display warning about 'ascii' being the new default mode.

Screenshot

  • Use arrays for $scrot_program

Args

  • Fixed bug where neofetch --config sourced the user config twice.
  • Cleaned up config arg handling.
