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. :)

General

• 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
• Optimize usage of get_de(), get_wm() and get_term().
  • We were calling these multiple times, we now check to see if they were run previously.
• Optimize info caching, only check for cache files in scripts that use caching.
• Cleanup main().
• Renamed old_flags() --> old_options().
• 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 We actually found a lot of outdated info in the old manpage thanks to this.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.
• Delete most of info() and instead call prin().
  • This removes a lot of duplicate code between info() and prin().
