This release fixes a wide range of bugs and adds some neat new features.
Scroll down to "highlights" to see the bigger changes from this release.
A big thank you to @konimex, @iandrewt and the contributors below who
kept development going during my absence.

Expect a minor bug fix release sometime this week as I'm sure new bugs
will come up. I've done extensive testing but things always slip through.

Breaking Changes

  • Config: Removed get_line_break().
    • Alternative: prin '\n'
    • Rationale: fix a bug that's been lingering for a couple of years now.

OS

  • Added support for Bedrock Linux. @paradigm
  • Added support for Namib GNU/Linux. @arisinfenix
  • Added support for Reborn OS. @iandrewt
  • Added support for OpenMandriva Lx. @konimex
  • Added support for Star. @arisinfenix
  • Added support for BlueLight OS.
  • Added support for Huayra Linux.
  • Added support for Pentoo.

Highlights

[ASCII] Added support for command output. You can now use whatever
terminal commands you like as the ASCII art.

# Use fortune and cowsay as ascii art.
neofetch --ascii "$(fortune|cowsay -W 30)"

# use figlet as ascii art.
neofetch --ascii "$(figlet -w 30 hello world)"

scrot

Added a new "simple" mode. You can now use neofetch for scripting
by getting it to output individual info functions in plain text.

# Example:
neofetch uptime --uptime_shorthand tiny
> uptime: 32m

# Example:
neofetch uptime disk wm memory
> uptime: 33 mins
> disk (/): 212G / 235G (96%)
> wm: Openbox
> memory: 1215MiB / 7881MiB

# This can be used in bars and scripts like so:
memory="$(neofetch memory)"; memory="${memory##*: }"

# For multiple outputs at once (each line of info in an array):
# Much faster than running neofetch multiple times.
IFS=$'\n' read -d "" -ra info < <(neofetch memory uptime wm)
info=("${info[@]##*: }")

Added new image backend chafa (--chafa)
which displays images in the terminal using unicode characters.

neofetch --chafa ~/Pictures/meow.jpg
