2.3.4

This release fixes an issue preventing --help and fish completion from working, finally

---

We are deprecating flags based config files (will be removed in v3.0.0). We suggest you migrate to json based config files.

Config related changes:

• The deprecated flag --gen-config conf is removed
• Flag --gen-config now does the same thing as --migrate-config, which can be used as config migration and default config file generation. Flag --migrate-config is removed
• Fastfetch now searches for config files in the order of fastfetch --list-config-paths, and won't load other config if one is found.
• The undocumented flag --load-user-config is removed. As an alternative, --config none can be used to disable loading config files.
• --config (previously named --load-config) is now supported for command line arguments only. If specified, other config files won't be loaded, which works like other programs.
• Config files will always be loaded before other command line flags being parsed. That is to say, command line flags will always override options defined in config files.
• the value of GPUType integrated contained a typo and was fixed. Existing config files may need to be updated.

Features:

• Support Oils and elvish shell version detection (Shell)
• Support Windows Server Core (Windows)
• Better ddcutil 2.x compatibility (Brightness, Linux)
• Add completion support for fish (natively) and nushell (via carapace-bin)
• Support nix in macOS (Packages, macOS)
• Print module description for --list-modules
• Support alacritty.toml (TerminalFont)
• Support board detection on macOS. It simplily prints machine model identifier as for now (Board, macOS)
• Add general method to query product name (Host, macOS)
• Use libdrm as a better fall back for detecting displays, which correctly detects current mode; supports refresh rate detection and maybe also faster than using /sys/class/drm (Display, Linux)
• Support physical disk size detection (DiskIO)
• Support physical disk name and type detection (DiskIO, FreeBSD)
• Use MemAvailable if available (Memory, Linux)
• Improve performance of detecting dpkg package count (Packages, Linux)

Bugfixes:

• End va_list before returning (@VoltrexKeyva)
• Don't use background color when printing blocks (Color)
• Fix lots of typos

2.2.0

Regression #606. A new hotfix release will be cut soon

This release introduces a new option --migrate-config, which migrates old flag based config file to new JSONC format

Changes:

• --pipe and --stat are moved from general options to display options. This affects cjson configuration.
• Display keys percent* and size* in JSON config are restructured. e.g. { "sizeNdigits": 1 } is now { "size": { "ndigits": 1 } }
• With the introduction of --migrate-config, the old flag based config file is deprecated, and will be removed in 3.0.0 (next major version)
• Support of --gen-config conf is deprecated accordingly, and will be removed in 2.3.0 (next minor version)
• The global flag --allow-slow-operations is splitted into some explicit flags in differnet modules
  • --packages-winget: control whether winget packages count should be detected. Note it's a very slow operation, please enable it with caution.
  • --chassis-use-wmi: control whether WMI query should be used to detect chassis type, which detects more information, but slower. This flag only affects --chassis-format and --format json.
  • --battery-use-setup-api: control whether SetupAPI should be used on Windows to detect battery info, which supports multi batteries, but slower.
  • --wm-detect-plugin: control whether WM plugins should be detected. Note it's implemented with global processes enumeration and can report false results.
  • --de-slow-version-detection: control DE version should be detected with slow operations. It's usually not necessary and only provided as a backup.
• --localip-default-route-only and --netio-default-route-only defaults to true to avoid large number of results

Features:

• Quirks for MIPS platforms (CPU, Linux)
• Use devicetree path for OBP hosts (Host, Linux)

• Support Nvidia GPU temp and cuda core count detection via nvml. Use --gpu-use-nvml to enable it (GPU)
• Try supporting Wifi authentication type detection in macOS Sonoma. Please file a feature request if you get to be supported (num) with result of /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -I | grep auth (Wifi, macOS)

Bugfixes:

• Better GPU memory and type detection (GPU, Windows)
• Don't print display type twice (Display)
