fastfetch 2.64.0 ڈاؤن لوڈ

New optional build dependencies:
- libva and libvdpau for the new Codec module.
- Lua 5.3 to 5.5 for Lua scripting support, or QuickJS v0.15.0 or newer for JavaScript scripting support.
Features:
- Adds Codec module support for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android for hardware-accelerated video codec detection (Codec)
- Backends used (results may vary depending on the backend due to driver differences):
- Linux and BSD: VA-API (default) and VDPAU (fallback for NVIDIA). Fastfetch must be built with libva and libvdpau support to enable these backends.
- Windows: D3D12VA (Windows 11) and D3D11VA+MFT (Windows 10 or older)
- macOS: VideoToolbox
- Android: AMediaCodec
- Common: Vulkan Video (disabled by default; can be enabled with "useVulkan": true)
- By default, both encoders and decoders are reported. If no codecs are detected for a given type, None is reported. This behavior can be configured using the "showType": "encoder|decoder" option.
- Adds experimental Lua script support for custom formats (Global)
- Basic usage (using Title as an example): { "type": "title", "format": "lua:return string.format('Hello %s@%s', (...).userName, (...).hostName)" }. The lua: prefix indicates a Lua script. A return statement is required to pass the final result back to the fastfetch module; otherwise, nil is returned implicitly and the entire module output is skipped.
- Parameters are passed via variable arguments (...). Users can assign them to named variables for better readability. For example: lua:local args = ...; string.format('Hello %s@%s', args.userName, args.hostName).
- The Lua interpreter instance is shared across all modules. This allows users to store and manipulate data across modules. For example:
- { "type": "shell", "format": "lua:shell = ..." } // Note: no "return" here
- { "type": "terminal", "format": "lua:return shell.prettyName .. ' in ' .. (...).prettyName" } // This will print the detected shell and terminal names
- A json_encode(table, is_pretty) function has been added to the Lua API for easier debugging. For example, lua:return json_encode(...) will print all available variables and their values in JSON format.
- Supported Lua versions: Lua 5.3 to 5.5 (Lua 5.1 and LuaJIT are not supported). The Lua version is auto-detected at build time. Once built, users can check the configured Lua version using fastfetch --list-features.
- Adds experimental QuickJS script support for custom formats as an alternative to Lua (Global)
- Basic usage: { "type": "title", "format": "qjs:Hello {this.hostName}" }. The qjs: prefix indicates a JavaScript script. No return statement is needed; the final result is simply the evaluated value of the script.
- Parameters are passed via the this object. Usage is mostly the same as Lua, but using JavaScript syntax.
- Requires quickjs-ng v0.15.0 or newer.
- Adds CMake options -DMODULE_DISABLE_<MODULE_NAME>=ON to disable modules at compile time for a smaller binary size
- Use cmake -L . | grep MODULE_DISABLE_ to list all available options.
- These options rely on LTO for dead code elimination (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release should enable LTO by default).
- Adds the ability to remove unneeded ASCII logos without modifying the fastfetch source code, further reducing binary size
- Simply remove the corresponding logo file from the logo directory (src/logo/ascii/[a-z]/*) and re-run cmake.
- Improves string manipulation specifiers in custom formats
- They are now ANSI escape-aware and work correctly with colored output (e.g., percentages with num-color) (#2364). Limitations:
- They are still not wide-character aware and treat CJK and emoji characters as raw bytes.
- Escape sequences in the middle of strings are not supported.
- A new | specifier has been added to center strings. For example, {user-name|20} will center the username in a 20-character-wide field.
- Adds preliminary Bootmgr, Brightness, and WMTheme detection support for Haiku (#2358, Haiku)
- Adds Wallpaper and WMTheme detection support for the COSMIC desktop environment (Linux)
- Improves terminal name detection for Nix packages (#2352, Terminal, Linux)
- Adds DDC/CI brightness detection support for FreeBSD (Brightness, FreeBSD)
- DDC/CI communication can be very slow. Users can set the ddcciSleep: null option to skip DDC/CI detection.
- Reworks the built-in logo printing logic. ASCII logos and modules are now printed line by line, avoiding issues like #2239
- Note: Image logos are not affected by this change and still print the entire image first before printing any modules.
- Adds a new --logo-padding-bottom option to control the padding between the bottom of the logo and the first module when --logo-position top is used
- Previously, --logo-padding-right was used for both right and bottom padding.
- Adds Samsung Exynos 2600 to CPU detection (CPU, Android)
- Adds terminal font detection support for the Muxy terminal (TerminalFont, macOS)
- Improves the performance of BusyBox (ash) version detection and always reports as
