Info

• Rewrote most BSD info functions, they're now much smaller and work on more<br > BSD distros.

prin<br >

• Format changes to fix issues with colons in string. This change also makes<br > prin use the same args as info.

# OLD Format
prin "Subtitle: Text goes here"

# NEW Format
prin "Subtitle" "Text goes here"

Title<br >

• Made title faster by using $HOSTNAME when available.

Underline<br >

• Underlining is no longer hardcoded to title length meaning you can now<br > underline any part of the output and the length will match.
• $underline was renamed to $underline_enabled.

# OLD Variable
underline="on"

# NEW Variable
underline_enabled="on"

Distro<br >

• Fix arch issues with ARM cpus.
• We now use uname -m to get the arch instead of hardcoding x86.
• Moved distro detection to a function called getdistro.
• Fixed issue with ascii_distro not working.

CPU<br >

• Fixed issues when cpu speed was < 1Ghz
• Cleanup of CPU function.
• Don't print Dual-Core or Quad-Core in CPU output.

GPU<br >

• [Linux] More GPU substitutions for AMD cards.
• Added BSD support using glxinfo.

Memory<br >

• [Linux / Windows] Use memavail if available for a more accurate output.

Packages<br >

• Package count now works when the user has multiple package managers installed.<br > For example, if the user has both dpkg and pacman installed the function will<br > add up the packages from both package managers to get a grand total. (dpkg pkgs + pacman pkgs)

Uptime<br >

• Fixed various issues with OS X and BSD.

Desktop Environment<br >

• [ Linux ] Fallback to using xprop if $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is empty.
• Use $de instead of $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for wallpaper and theme detection.
• Fixed xprop bug with DE detection when X wasn't running.
• Don't assume that user is using MATE if marco wm is detected.

Window Manager Theme<br >

• Fixed bug when $de was unset.

Color Blocks<br >

• Fixed bug when the blocks wrap a line causing a large white strip to appear.

Ascii

• Added KDE neon ascii art.
• Added small OpenBSD ascii art.
  • Credit goes to ufetch.
• Reduced the size of NetBSD's ascii art.
• [Windows 8/8.1] Use modern windows ascii art.

Colors

• Fixed bug with --colors not working with all 256 terminal colors.
• --colors 7 now uses the color white. [1]
• --colors fg now uses the foreground color. [1]

[1] Neofetch tried to be smart before by assuming that the foreground color<br > would be white or black. This caused issues for those setting the foreground<br > color to red or etc. This change adds a new value for --colors and colors=()<br > called fg which will set the color to your foreground color.

Progress Bars

• You can now enable/disable a border around the progress bars with progress_border.

# $progress_border on
[=====-----]

# $progress_border off
=====-----

• You can now individually set the progress bar characters by using<br > progress_char_elapsed and progress_char_total. This means that you can<br > have a seperate character for the elapsed and total portions of the bar.

# Examples with $progress_border on

# Elapsed: =
# Total: -
[=====-----]

# Elapsed: .
# Total: " "
[.....     ]

# Elapsed: /
# Total: " "
[/////     ]
