# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](http://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/)
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## [Unreleased]
This release bumps the version number up to `4.0.0` as it contains major
changes to how Neofetch is packaged and installed.
The entirety of Neofetch is now contained within a single executable.
Everything has been in-lined. Installing Neofetch is now as easy as
downloading the script and running it.
Those using distributions with an outdated Neofetch version in their repos
can now easily install the latest version themselves.
Thanks to those who contributed this time around and thanks to those who
discussed proposed changes in the bug tracker and Discord. I appreciate
it. :+1:
## Discord
Neofetch now has a Discord server. Come and join the discussion!

## [3.1.0] - 2017-04-25
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.

## [3.0] - 2017-01-23
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](https://github.com/konimex)** and **[@iandrewt](https://github.com/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](https://github.com/koalaman/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](https://github.com/gavinhungry)**
- Cleanup `main()`.
- Renamed `old_flags()` --> `old_options()`.
## Info
**Shell**
- [Fish] Fixed memory leak caused by Fish.
- Added support for `xonsh`.
- Fixed version output on `ksh`.
- Rewrote the function to remove duplicate code.
**Uptime**
- Moved duplicate code to a function.
- Changed `$uptime_shorthand` to `on` by default.
**Desktop Environment**
- Fixed issues where MATE wouldn't be detected properly.
- Added fallback to `$DESKTOP_SESSION`, `$MATE_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID` and `$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID`.
- Hide Desktop Environment if it matches Window Manager.
**CPU**
- [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**
- Added Haiku cores command.
- Updated Linux and macOS commands to the match the commands in the `get_cpu()` function.
**GPU**
- [Linux] Each GPU is now printed on a separate line.
- [Linux] Added `--gpu_type` / `$gpu_type` which lets you display `all`, `dedicated` or `integrated` GPUs.
**Memory**
- [Solaris] Fixed inaccurate used memory size.
**Resolution**
- [Windows] Declare variables locally to fix conflicts in other functions.
**~~Birthday~~ Install Date**
- Renamed `get_birthday()` -- > `get_install_date()`
- Removed all `date` command usage from `get_install_date()`.
- Added a new function called `convert_time()` which takes the time stamped `ls` output and converts it to a pretty format. The function only uses bash so its much faster than calling `date`. This makes things simple and keeps the output consistent across all Operating Systems. Example: `2016-12-06 16:58:58.000000000` --> `Tue 06 Dec 2016 4:58 PM`
- Added an option so users can choose between using 24-hour and 12-hour time format
- `get_install_date()` will detect which `ls` program is being used instead of hardcoding them per OS.
**Disk**
- Rewrote function from scratch.
- The function is `40` lines smaller than before and works on all [1] versions of `df` we tested on [2].
- Added the option/flag `disk_show` which allows you to specify which disks, mount points or directories to show the disk info of. (One per line)
- Added the option/flag `disk_subtitle` which allows you to specify how we label each disk. (Mount point or Disk name)
- Removed all percentage calculation since `df` already provides us with the percentage.
- Warn the user if `df` isn't installed.
- Fixed broken output if `df` wasn't installed but the function was enabled.
[1] The function doesn't work on Haiku since their `df` is wildly non-standard. (The output format and flags are 100% different from all of the other `df` versions floating around.)
[2] Tested on `GNU`, `Busybox`, `BSD`, `Solaris` and `macOS` `df` versions.
**Theme**
- [KDE] Don't display GTK Themes if KDE is detected.
- [KDE] If `kde[0-9]-config` isn't found, try and look for `$HOME/.kde`.

## 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:
- `auto`, `ascii`, `wallpaper`, `/path/to/img`, `/path/to/ascii`, `/path/to/dir/`.
- Fixed bugs with image shuffle mode.
## Wallpaper

- Cleaned up config arg handling.
## [2.0.2] - 2016-12-07
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**
- Fixed issue where package output was off by one.
**GPU**
- Fixed bug with `--gpu_brand` not working.
**Theme**
- [Cinnamon] Fixed incorrect information.
## [2.0.1] - 2016-12-06
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](https://github.com/konimex)** for all of his contributions this release. :)

## Ascii
![ubuntu](https://u.teknik.io/zILeY.png)
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.

## 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

- You can change this back to imgur by using `--image_host imgur` or by editing your config file.
## [2.0] - 2016-12-02
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](https://github.com/dylanaraps/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. :)

## [1.9] - 2016-11-01
This change log won't cover everything that's changed. Have a look through the commit
history for more info.
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](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues/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.**
![scrot](https://i.sli.mg/6qp9Cg.png)
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](https://github.com/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.
https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/commit/3e9c3d648cb4c6f0d5fe5f0b96f9e29429af39d9
**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](https://github.com/ncmprhnsbl)**
- Update Solus ascii art.
## Info
**Distro**
- Expanded `distro_shorthand` to macOS, BSD and Solaris. **[@konimex](https://github.com/konimex)**
- Removed `osx_buildversion` and `osx_codename` in favour of `distro_shorthand`. **[@konimex](https://github.com/konimex)**
**Desktop Environment**
- [Windows] Added support for showing DE.
- Windows 8 and above: `Modern UI/Metro`
- Windows 7 and below: `Aero`
**Window Manager**
- [Windows] Added support for custom WMs/Shells.
- Neofetch now detects `blackbox`, `bugn`, `Windawesome`, `emerge` and `litestep`.
**Window Manager Theme**

- `logical`: Show all virtual cores (hyperthreaded).
- `physical`: Only show physical cores.
- [Linux] Added support for showing CPU temperature.
- Added new option called `cpu_temp`.
- Note: This is disabled by default and can be enabled by changing the value of `cpu_temp` in your config to `on`.

## [1.8] - 2016-10-02
This version of neofetch is vastly different from the previous versions and this
changelog won't cover everything that's changed. Have a look through the commit
history for more info.
There were a lot of major changes to how things work in this release so I'm expecting
bugs/things not working for people. Depending on what comes up we my release a few 1.8.X
versions.
This changelog is a bit of a mess this time around and I apologize but it should at least
get the message across.
Android support didn't make it into this release as it requires testing on more devices.
If you've got a device running android and would like to help test out the branch, check
out the open PR here: [#322](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/pull/322)
This release also saw a lot more contributors which makes me really happy. Thanks to those
below for helping out. :)

### General
- Added `--version` to print the neofetch version.
- Fix issue when title and background were both color `7`.
- Fix issue with incorrect text color when `barinfo` is set.
- Fixed various Travis.ci bugs.
- Fix lint errors.
- Moved all whitespace trimming to a dedicated function.
- Neofetch will no longer have any whitespace issues in the output.
- See [trim()](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/commit/d3c87cdaacf1ea9fbf245146c910dc53b49dba08#diff-e863270127ca6116fd30e708cdc582fcR2789)
- Quote all variable/command substitutions.
- Removed `line_wrap` as having it set to `on` broke the output.
- Removed `stdout` mode since it's been broken for a while now and I don't see the
point in fixing it.
- Removed in-script config in favor of sourcing the default user config.
- Remove all instances of `! -z` since they're pointless.
- Remove all `bc` usage by simplifying math.
- Suppress `getconfig` and `getscriptdir` errors.
- Suppress `xprop` errors since it's now an optional dependency.
- The prompt is now dynamically set in image mode instead of being anchored to the
bottom of the window. See [#279](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/pull/279) and [#299](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/pull/299) for examples.

### Error Messages
Neofetch now supports displaying error messages and saving a verbose log for
troubleshooting.
![log](https://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmeTWGKozY79zcxbrgXueyTRfQcTUe7ZmDqLv4ASgJB4G4)
- Added `-v` to print error messages to stdout.
- Added `-vv` to print a verbose log to stdout. [1]
[1] Use `neofetch -vv 2> file` to save a verbose log for bug reporting.
### Info
- Rewrote most BSD info functions, they're now much smaller and work on more
BSD distros.
**prin**
- Format changes to fix issues with colons in string. This change also makes
`prin` use the same args as `info`.
``` sh
# OLD Format
prin "Subtitle: Text goes here"
# NEW Format
prin "Subtitle" "Text goes here"
```
**Title**
- Made title faster by using `$HOSTNAME` when available.
**Underline**
- Fixed bug with `--underline on/off` not working.
- Underlining is no longer hardcoded to title length meaning you can now
underline any part of the output and the length will match.
- `$underline` was renamed to `$underline_enabled`.
``` sh
# OLD Variable
underline="on"
# NEW Variable
underline_enabled="on"
```
**Distro**
- Fix arch issues with ARM cpus.
- We now use `uname -m` to get the arch instead of hardcoding `x86`.
- Moved distro detection to a function called `getdistro`.
- Fixed issue with `ascii_distro` not working.
**CPU**
- Fixed issues when cpu speed was < 1Ghz
- Cleanup of CPU function.
- Don't print `Dual-Core` or `Quad-Core` in CPU output.
**GPU**
- [Linux] More GPU substitutions for AMD cards.
- Added BSD support using `glxinfo`.
**Memory**
- [Linux / Windows] Use `memavail` if available for a more accurate output.
**Packages**
- Package count now works when the user has multiple package managers installed.
For example, if the user has both `dpkg` and `pacman` installed the function will
add up the packages from both package managers to get a grand total. (`dpkg pkgs` + `pacman pkgs`)
**Uptime**
- Fixed various issues with OS X and BSD.
**Desktop Environment**
- [ Linux ] Fallback to using `xprop` if `$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` is empty.
- Use `$de` instead of `$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` for wallpaper and theme detection.
- Fixed xprop bug with DE detection when X wasn't running.
- Don't assume that user is using MATE if marco wm is detected.
**Window Manager Theme**
- Fixed bug when `$de` was unset.
**Color Blocks**
- Fixed bug when the blocks wrap a line causing a large white strip to appear.
### Ascii
- Added KDE neon ascii art.
- Added small OpenBSD ascii art.
- Credit goes to ufetch.
- Reduced the size of NetBSD's ascii art.
- [Windows 8/8.1] Use modern windows ascii art.
### Colors
- Fixed bug with `--colors` not working with all 256 terminal colors.
- `--colors 7` now uses the color white. [1]
- `--colors fg` now uses the foreground color. [1]
[1] Neofetch tried to be smart before by assuming that the foreground color
would be white or black. This caused issues for those setting the foreground
color to red or etc. This change adds a new value for `--colors` and `colors=()`
called `fg` which will set the color to your foreground color.
### Progress Bars
- The default progress bar look was changed to `[=====-----]` instead of `━━━━━━━━━━`
fix issues with older systems.
- You can now enable/disable a border around the progress bars with `progress_border`.
``` sh
# $progress_border on
[=====-----]
# $progress_border off
=====-----
```
- You can now individually set the progress bar characters by using
`progress_char_elapsed` and `progress_char_total`. This means that you can
have a seperate character for the elapsed and total portions of the bar.
``` sh
# Examples with $progress_border on
# Elapsed: =
# Total: -
[=====-----]
# Elapsed: .
# Total: " "
[..... ]
# Elapsed: /
# Total: " "
[///// ]
```
## [1.6] - 2016-04-01
# Neofetch 1.6
Another ~~week~~ another release of Neofetch.
This release focused on cleanup, bug fixes and optimization. Neofetch
is now much much faster than last release and more bug free than ever
before!
This release surprisingly didn't break much at all, see the latest entry in
the wiki page `Following HEAD`.

### General
- Added Travis CI support.
- Added `--test` which is meant for testing and prints all functions.
- Cleanup of Distro, Uptime, Memory and CPU functions.
- We now use a more reliable white-space trimming substitution for CPU/GPU etc.
- Use `stty` instead of `read -s` to fix an issue with escape sequences
appearing in the output.
- Line wrap is now disabled by default.
- Implement base support for caching specific info. This will eventually
allow us to speed up the script by caching info that won't change for a
long period of time like the CPU/GPU. [1]
- Fixed a locale issue when `LC_ALL` is unset on the user's system.
- Change all usage of `$HOME/.config` to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` with a fallback to `$HOME/.config`.
[1] You can clear the cache with `--clean`.
### Colors

Neofetch 1.5 vs Neofetch 1.6
Neofetch now works with bright color schemes and uses the foreground color instead of hard-coding white.
