fastfetch 2.52.0 download

This release added guidance for transitioning to JSON config when module-specific CLI flags are found. It should have been added in v2.50 but people are complaining about it. Late is still better than never.
$ fastfetch --weather-location 'your location'
Error: Unsupported module option: --weather-location
Support of module options has been removed. Please add the flag to the JSON config instead.
Example (demonstration only): `{ "modules": [ { "type": "weather", "location": "your location" } ] }`
See <https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Configuration> for more information.
Worth noting that the recommendation is not always correct. For example
$ fastfetch --colors-block-range-start 0
Error: Unsupported module option: --colors-block-range-start
Support of module options has been removed. Please add the flag to the JSON config instead.
Example (demonstration only): `{ "modules": [ { "type": "colors", "blockRangeStart": "0" } ] }` # wrong, should be "block": { "range": [0] }
See <https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Configuration> for more information.
Fastfetch has no idea about what the flag is, it simply converts the flag to camelCase.
Changes:
- New optional build dependencies on Android
- main: chafa dbus glib imagemagick libelf libxcb libxrandr pulseaudio zlib
- x11: dconf (Optional)
- Dependency on libxfconf is removed. XFCE related detection now uses libdbus instead (Linux)
- The default format of Display module is updated to {width}x{height} @ {scale-factor}x in {inch}", {refresh-rate} Hz
- Replaced scaled resolution with scale factor for shorter text and avoiding potential confusion.
Bugfixes:
- Fixes linking on 32-bit Android (#1939)
- Skips network interfaces without IPs unless MAC address is requested (#1949, LocalIP)
- Fixes unexpected padding when setting logo.width with chafa logos (#1947, Logo)
- Regression from v2.51.0
- Improves Wallpaper detection on XFCE4 (Wallpaper, Linux)
- Ignores process Relay(xxx) when detecting terminal on WSL2 (Terminal, Linux)
Features:
- Enables X11-related info (i.e., WM/DE) detection on Android (Global, Android)
- This requires many dependencies. See above.
- Adds scale factors detection for X11 (Display, Linux)
- X11 doesn't natively report scale factor as Wayland does. Instead, Fastfetch tries to detect Xft.dpi (DPI used by X FreeType for scaling fonts), which is usually set by the WM when DPI scaling is enabled.
- It's not always accurate. For example, XFCE4 has a separate config for text scaling, which is unaffected by the global DPI scaling setting.
- Adds display.fraction.trailingZeros: [always|never] option for fraction formatting
- The default value of display.fraction.ndigits is changed from -1 (unlimited) to 2 for usability.
- Used for displaying scale factor in Display module mentioned above, alongside other places for printing raw fraction numbers.
- Adds CPU name detection support for IA64 (CPU, Linux)
- Support Btrfs allocation profile detection (#1941, Btrfs, Linux)
