2.0.0-beta

Fastfetch v2 ( currently in beta, will be changed to stable if no serious bug is found in this week ) introduces a new configuration file format: JSON config. Please refer to https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Configuration for details.

Changes:

• Start with fastfetch v2, binaries are built with debug symbols (RelWithDebInfo). That's why the image size bloats.
• Drop the dependency of cJSON. We now use yyjson to parse JSON documents.
• Remove --shell-version and --terminal-version. They are always enabled (Terminal / Shell)
• Remove --*-error-format, which seems to be useless
• Remove --display-detect-name. Display name is always detected, and will be printed if multiple displays are detected
• Deprecate --set and --set-keyless; they may be removed in future releases. Use JSON config with Custom module instead
• Remove the special handling of Command module (it can be set once in the triditional config.conf). Use JSON config with Command module instead
• Change --wm-theme-* to --wmtheme-*. Affect key and format (WMTheme)
• Change --terminal-font-* to --terminalfont-*. Affect key and format (TerminalFont)
• Module Command uses /bin/sh as the default shell on systems other than Windows (Command)
• Fix M2 CPU temperature detection (CPU, macOS)
• Detect monitor name when available, instead of using DRM connector name (Display / Brightness, Linux)

Features:

• FreeBSD support is improved greatly, and actually tested in a physical machine
• Add --no-buffer option for easier debugging. CMake option ENABLE_BUFFER is removed and always enabled.
• Support --*-key-color option to change the key color of specified module
• Support --colors-symbol and --colors-padding-left (Colors)
• Add LM (Login Manager) module. Currently requires systemd installed (thus Linux only)
• Add --wmi-timeout option (Windows)
• Add --logo-type small to search for small logos
• Support detecting brightness of external displays with DDC/CI (guard behind --allow-slow-operations) (Brightness)
• Add option --size-ndigits and --size-max-prefix (#494)
• Add option --processing-timeout to the timeout when waiting for child processes.
• Public IP module prints the IP location if --publicip-url is not set (PublicIP)
• Add option --localip-default-route-only (LocalIP)
• Add option --weather-location (Weather)
• Support iTerm non-ascii font detection (Terminal, macOS)
• Add option --title-color-user, --title-color-at and --title-color-host (Title)
• Add Exherbo logo and package manager count (Packages, Linux, #503)
• Add module Terminal Size which prints the number of terminal width and height in charactors and pixels (TerminalSize)
• Add new option --temperature-unit
• Better CPU and Host detection for Android (Android)
• Support yakuake terminal version & font detection (Terminal, Linux)
• Add new option --bright-color which can be used to disable the default bright color of keys, title and ASCII logo.
• Add module Monitor which prints physical parameters (native resolutions and demensions) of connected monitors
• Support path with environment variables for --logo-source and --load-config.

Bugfixes:

• Fix possible hanging (TerminalFont, #493)

• Fix --brightness-format (Brightness)
• Fix specifying --set-keyless with the same key second time won't override the value set before (#517)
• Fix specifying --color second time won't clear the value set before (#517)

Logo:

• Change the special handling of kitty protocol with .png image file to a new image protocol kitty-direct. This is the fastest image protocol because fastfetch doesn't need to pre-encode the image to base64 or something and the image content doesn't need to be transmitted via tty. Note:
  1. Although konsole was said to support kitty image protocol, it doesn't support kitty-direct
  2. wezterm support more image formats other than .png (tested with .jpg and .webp)
• Port all logos supported by neo(wo)fetch. Fastfetch now has 350+ builtin logos in total.
