Fetch 1.1 changelog

<br > ^{New screenfetch mode}

• If w3m or imagemagick aren't installed we gracefully fallback to ascii mode.
• Automatically find the w3mimgdisplay path and fallback to ascii mode if not found.
• Fix padding escape codes on BSD systems.
• Swap escape codes from \e to \033 for consistency.
• We only move the cursor to the bottom of the terminal in w3m/iterm2 rendering modes.
• Cursor position is now dynamic based on the height of the ascii and info text.
• If images and ascii are off, don't clear the terminal
• The script now exits correctly instead of always exiting with status code 1
• If the script exits for any reason, unhide the cursor.
• Removed duplicate blocks inside getcpu and getmemory.
• Removed --colors as it was apparently broken from day 1.
• Usage has been reformatted so that every flag has a value.

Image

• Added support for displaying ascii art inside of text files.
• Added "screenfetch mode" which will display your distro's ascii art next to the info. [1]<br >
• Added --ascii_distro to choose which distro's ascii logo to display.
• Rename --shuffledir and $shuffledir to shuffle_dir.
• Rename --imgtempdir and $imgtempdir to thumbnail_dir
• Default thumbnail directory is now $HOME/.cache/thumbnails/fetch. Thanks @tudurom
• If --image and --ascii are left empty we fallback to ascii distro mode.

Example usage of ascii from file:

fetch --ascii "path/to/ascii" --ascii_color 2
