We are deprecating flags based config files (will be removed in v3.0.0). We suggest you migrate to json based config files.

Config related changes:

The deprecated flag --gen-config conf is removed
Flag --gen-config now does the same thing as --migrate-config, which can be used as config migration and default config file generation. Flag --migrate-config is removed
Fastfetch now searches for config files in the order of fastfetch --list-config-paths, and won't load other config if one is found.
The undocumented flag --load-user-config is removed. As an alternative, --config none can be used to disable loading config files.
--config (previously named --load-config) is now supported for command line arguments only. If specified, other config files won't be loaded, which works like other programs.
Config files will always be loaded before other command line flags being parsed. That is to say, command line flags will always override options defined in config files.

This release introduces a new option --migrate-config, which migrates old flag based config file to new JSONC format

Changes:

--pipe and --stat are moved from general options to display options. This affects cjson configuration.

With the introduction of --migrate-config, the old flag based config file is deprecated, and will be removed in 3.0.0 (next major version)
Support of --gen-config conf is deprecated accordingly, and will be removed in 2.3.0 (next minor version)
The global flag --allow-slow-operations is split into some explicit flags in different modules
- --packages-winget: control whether winget packages count should be detected. Note it's a very slow operation, please enable it with caution.
- --chassis-use-wmi: control whether WMI query should be used to detect chassis type, which detects more information, but slower. This flag only affects --chassis-format and --format json.
- --battery-use-setup-api: control whether SetupAPI should be used on Windows to detect battery info, which supports multi batteries, but slower.
- --wm-detect-plugin: control whether WM plugins should be detected. Note it's implemented with global processes enumeration and can report false results.
- --de-slow-version-detection: control DE version should be detected with slow operations. It's usually not necessary and only provided as a backup.

Drop the dependency of cJSON. We now use yyjson to parse JSON documents.

1.7.0

This release brings support for MacOS! The basics things are working, but it is far from feature parity with Linux. I developed this in a VM, so bugs on real hardware are likely. If you have a Mac and no idea what to do with your free time, i am very happy to accept pull requests / work on issues.

A lot of things were changed under the hood to make this possible, which should bring better performance and stability on all platforms.

Besides that, the following things have changed:

Features:

The binary prefix used can now be configured, and is used consistently across all modules. Set --binary-prefix to iec (default), si or jedec.
AMD GPUs now have a much better name, if the file /usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids exists. For example my dedicated GPU, which was displayed as AMD/ATI Radeon RX 5600 OEM/5600 XT / 5700/5700 XT, is now AMD Radeon RX 5600M.

Logos:

MacOS
CachyOS small (@sirlucjan, #220)
MSYS2 (#219)

Bugfixes:

the --file option, which can be used to display the contents of a file as the logo, is now working again.
