Hi, It's been quite a while since the last release. I've been extremely busy with university and I finally found some time to flag a new release. (I've been meaning to do this for a few weeks now)

Though I haven't worked on Neofetch as much as I'd have liked, most of the changes this time round come from some familiar faces as well as some new contributors! Thanks to everyone for contributing, I appreciate it.

This is another large release containing over 550 commits from 7 contributors. Due to the size and large amount of changes made this release expect at least one minor release to fix any bugs that come up.

The version number has been bumped to 3.0 due to the large amount of breaking changes introduced this update. I've added backwards compatibility for all of the new changes but there may still be some breakage. I highly recommend starting with a new config to avoid any issues that may arise.

Neofetch now supports displaying images using catimg, libcaca and jp2a. See this wiki page for screenshots. https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/wiki/Image-Backends

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

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. :)

Collaborators

I have given collaborator access to both @konimex and @iandrewt. In short this allows them to push directly to the master branch of the repo, manage the issue tracker and also merge pull requests. They've been a huge help the past year so this made sense to me.

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

• The default config file is now installed to /etc/neofetch/config and acts as a system-wide config file for Neofetch. Editing this file will make the changes available to all users on the system. Those packaging Neofetch without using the Makefile will need to make changes to support this.
• The Makefile was rewritten to remove GNU-isms.
• Removed executable permission from config files. BASH can source them even if they're un-executable.
• Travis now runs shellcheck on every commit and pull request.
  • We've had to exclude around 10 lint errors, see this wiki page for why we did this:
  • https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/wiki/Shellcheck-Exclusions
• Neofetch now supports relative path values when specifying the location to images, ascii files and config files.
  • For example, neofetch --w3m Pictures/Wallpapers/10.jpg and neofetch --w3m 10.jpg now work.
• Optimize usage of get_de(), get_wm() and `get_term().
  • We were calling these multiple times, we now only run them once and check to see if they were run previously.
• Optimize info caching, only check for cache files in functions that use caching.
• 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.
• Fixed artifacts when using line-breaks in TTYs.
• All errors are now sent to stderr.
• Renamed XFCE --> Xfce. @gavinhungry
• Cleanup main().
• Renamed old_flags() --> old_options().

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.

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.
• 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 command 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.

Window Manager Theme<br >

• Fixed WM Theme not detected on MATE. @mstraube

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.
• 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.
• All of the image/ascii backend handling was rewritten. Backend and Image/File/Directory selection is universal now and should make usage easier.
  • Added catimg backend.
  • Added caca backend.
  • Added jp2a backend.
  • --image has been replaced with --backend.
    • --backend takes ascii, caca, catimg, jp2a, iterm2, off, tycat, w3m.
  • Shortcut flags were added for easy picking of backends.
    • Each flag can take a file, image or directory as an argument.
    • For example: neofetch --w3m /path/to/img.jpg neofetch --ascii /path/to/file
    • --w3m
    • --iterm2
    • --tycat
    • --ascii
    • --off
    • --catimg
    • --caca
    • --jp2a
  • All image and ascii file selection has been replaced with the universal --source.
    • The value of --source can be any of the following:

• Fixed bugs with image shuffle mode.

Wallpaper

• Decode URI filenames.

Ascii

• Simplified ascii file handling.
  • Removed a call to tr for those using bash 3.
  • Fixed distro detection issues.
  • Removed the assumption that first word in distro --> ascii file name
• 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.
• Removed ascii_logo_size in favor of ascii_distro='{arch,crux,gentoo}_small'.
• [PCBSD] Use TrueOS ascii art.
• Added Void Linux (small) and Alpine Linux (small).

Screenshot

• Use arrays for $scrot_program

Args

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

This minor release fixes some issues related to new features added in 2.0. These issues weren't picked up in the time between 2.0 and 2.1 and another minor release is needed due to the Packages issue being rather important.

These issues were fixed by reverting the GPU caching and Packages optimizations. These issues occurred because not enough testing was done before these were implemented in master. In the future I'll take more care with testing these larger changes before they hit the master branch and I apologize for there being yet another release in one week.

I also want to apologize to those packaging Neofetch for this unexpected release.

Info

Packages<br >

• Fixed issue where package output was off by one.

GPU<br >

• Fixed bug with --gpu_brand not working.

Theme<br >

• [Cinnamon] Fixed incorrect information.

This release of Neofetch fixes some important bugs that were found after 2.0 was release. This includes: Detection issues on CentOS and Linux Mint systems, Incorrect Memory usage on BSD, Linux GPU detection issues and more.

This release also includes a rewrite of the screenshot functions. You no longer have to set the program to use in your config. Neofetch now automatically finds and uses whatever screenshot tool is available on your machine.

See the screenshot section below for more info.

The get_packages() function was optimized. Neofetch's packages function works by detecting which package managers are installed on your system and then using a sum of those as the packages output.

Previously the function would call wc -l for every package manager, instead we now call wc -l only once at the end of the function.

Thanks for reporting these bugs and also suggesting these features. Don't be shy, report any bugs, annoyances or etc with Neofetch and I'll happily help you out.

Thanks to @konimex for all of his contributions this release. :)

Ascii

<br >_{Old Ubuntu Logo vs New Ubuntu Logo}

• Updated Ubuntu logo to the latest version.
  • You can use the old logo by launching neofetch with --ascii_distro ubuntu_old or by changing $ascii_distro to ubuntu_old in your config file.
• --ascii_colors no longer changes text colors.
• Added ascii art for Ubuntu-Budgie.
  • You can use the ascii art by launching Neofetch with --ascii_distro ubuntu-budgie or by changing $ascii_distro to ubuntu-budgie in your config file.
• Fixed bug causing RFRemix to use the incorrect ascii art.

Screenshots

Neofetch will now automatically find and use whatever screenshot tool is available on your system. The screenshot tool is no longer hardcoded and you don't have to edit your config file to specify what program to use.

On Haiku and macOS, Neofetch will use the built-in tools to take screenshots. On systems with an X server Neofetch will look for and use the following programs: scrot, maim, import (imagemagick), imlib2_grab and gnome-screenshot.

The config option scrot_cmd and the commandline flag --scrot_cmd are still there for those who want to use custom flags, programs or scripts to take screenshots.

• Automatically use whatever screenshot tool is available.
• Added screenshot support to macOS
• Added screenshot support to Haiku

Screenshot Upload

• [teknik.io] Fixed images not uploading with the right filetype.
• Changed default image upload host to teknik.io.
  • teknik doesn't compress images whereas imgur does.
  • You can change this back to imgur by using --image_host imgur or by editing your config file.

This is the biggest release of Neofetch in a long time. 97 files were changed with 2700~ additions to 2900~ deletions. Although the changelog isn't as interesting this time majority of the script has been rewritten, restructered and cleaned up. Every function and variable name follows a proper naming scheme and a large number of bugs were fixed.

Since this version of Neofetch differs so much from the previous versions expect a 2.0.1 release a few days later to fix any bugs that are found after release.

The ascii file handling was rewritten, ascii art is now stored/read as plain text! All eval usage was removed from Neofetch, vim fold markers/comments are no longer enforced and we now run on GNU Hurd, Haiku and more.

When I was rewriting parts of the script I thought to myself; Neofetch is using the bash shebang and does depend on bash so why not take full advantage of the features bash has to offer? All tests were changed from [ to [[, arithmetic tests now use (()) and C style for loops are used where possible.

All of the config file documentation was rewritten and multiple wiki pages were created to hopefully make using/configuring Neofetch easier than ever before. You can see the wiki here: Neofetch Wiki

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 Neofetch will include backwards compatibility with the old config file but I'd like to remove this stuff in 2.1 3.0. 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 all of the contributors this time around, you guys are a big help and I really appreciate your work towards making Neofetch better and better each release. :)

There were a lot of major changes made to how things work in this release so I'm expecting bugs/things not working for people. Expect a 1.9.X release.

I'm also looking for neofetch screenshots for the Readme, see this issue: #405

Thanks to everyone below who contributed, it's nice to see some new faces too. :)

Fixed rendering issues in URxvt when using an XFT font.

This was first thought to be an issue between URxvt and W3m-img and I apologize for immediately closing bug reports and dismissing comments about this.

I spent yesterday trying to fix this issue and found out that launching neofetch with --bold off reduced the rendering problems. I did more digging and found out that removing all text formatting fixes the issue entirely. I later found out that adding a single unformatted character before the formatted text fixed the issue while keeping the formatting the same.

I opened up this PR https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/pull/358 which added options to enable a border between the image and the text to fix the issue. @konimex later commented informing me that we could just use a zero-width space to fix the issue and that we didn't need a new function/args/ugly border. doh

The final fix was as simple as adding a zero-width space before the info, here's the commit.

Removed hard dependency on \033[14t

Neofetch no longer requires a terminal emulator that supports \033[14t this means that neofetch now works in Konsole. Instead of using the escape sequence users now have three options for getting the terminal size in pixels.

• xdotool
• xwininfo + xprop
• xwininfo + xdpyinfo

Neofetch will detect whatever combination you have insalled and use these programs.

Note: \033[14t is still supported, if images already work for you then you don't have to install anything else.

• [w3m-img] Draw the image twice to fix rendering issues in Konsole.
• [w3m-img] Fix cursor position when using yoffset.
• [w3m-img] Add -bg support with the new option --bg_color.
  • neofetch --bg_color blue will make the background behind the image blue.
  • Note: The background color is only visible behind transparent parts of the image.
• If the terminal width is found as 0, fallback to ascii mode.

Ascii

• Bold ascii art by default.
• Fixed incorrect prompt location when using ascii_logo_size small.
• Fixed incorrect colors used on light terminals.
• Update Void Linux ascii art. @ncmprhnsbl
• Update Solus ascii art.
