Contributers

Thanks to the following people for contributing this release.

• @dawidd6

• @firstEncounter
• @konimex

General

• Added Travis CI support.
• Added --test which is meant for testing and prints all functions.
• Cleanup of Distro, Uptime, Memory and CPU functions.
• We now use a more reliable whitespace trimming substitution for CPU/GPU etc.
• Use stty instead of read -s to fix an issue with escape sequences<br > appearing in the output.
• Line wrap is now disabled by default.
• Implement base support for caching specific info. This will eventually<br > allow us to speed up the script by caching info that won't change for a<br > long period of time like the CPU/GPU. [1]
• Fixed a locale issue when LC_ALL is unset on the user's system.
• Change all usage of $HOME/.config to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME with a fallback to $HOME/.config.

[1] You can clear the cache with --clean.

Colors

Neofetch 1.5 vs Neofetch 1.6

Neofetch now works with bright colorschemes and uses the foreground color instead of hardcoding white.

• Fixed buggy colors in older versions of *BSD, OS X and Linux.
