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 acces 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 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. - 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
andneofetch --w3m 10.jpg
now work.
- For example,
- 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 We actually found a lot of outdated info in the old manpage thanks to this.- A new flag was added called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.
- A new flag was added called
- Delete most of
info()
and instead callprin()
.- This removes a lot of duplicate code between
info()
andprin()
.
- This removes a lot of duplicate code between
- Remove
printf
subshells and instead useprintf -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
toon
by default.
Desktop Environment<br >
- Fixed issues where MATE wouldn't be detected properly.
- Added fallback to
$DESKTOP_SESSION
,$MATE_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
and$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
. - Hide Desktop Environment if it matches Window Manager.
CPU<br >
- [Linux] Don't simplify
cpufreq
speed option names for no reason. - [Linux] Fixed issues with CPU name detection for architectures other than x86/amd64/ARM.
- [NetBSD] Remove case statement in favor of 1 line test.
- Simplify check for low CPU speeds.
- Expanded
cpu_temp
to take the valuesC
andF
. This means you can now display the CPU temperature as Fahrenheit.
CPU Usage<br >
- Added Haiku cores command.
- Updated Linux and macOS commands to the match the commands in the
get_cpu()
function.
GPU<br >
- [Linux] Each GPU is now printed on a separate line.
- [Linux] Added
--gpu_type
/$gpu_type
which lets you displayall
,dedicated
orintegrated
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 fromget_install_date()
. - Added a new function called
convert_time()
which takes the time stampedls
output and converts it to a pretty format. The function only uses bash so its much faster than callingdate
. 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 whichls
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 ofdf
we tested on [2].
- The function is
- 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.
