    • display.bar.color: null has been added as a shorthand to disable bar colors.

2.49.0

Deprecation Notice:

  • In fastfetch v2, the JSONC configuration format has been introduced, while command line configuration flags are kept for compatibility. Although they have the same effects, they use two different code paths, and as the number of flags grows, the codebase is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
    • Removal of module config flags is planned for v2.50.0, which will also fix a long-standing issue #1477.
    • Removal of most other config flags is also planned for later versions.
  • Keys of JSON configuration files will be all case-sensitive. Currently they are inconsistent. Planned for v2.50.0.

Changes:

  • Due to more restrictive permissions in macOS Tahoe, SSID detection on macOS 26+ requires root privileges. <redacted> will be displayed otherwise.

Features:

  • Improve nouveau driver support for --gpu-driver-specific (GPU, Linux)
    • VRAM size detection
    • GPU temperature detection
    • Core count detection (when available)

    • Add more Snapdragon SoC names
  • Support labwc WM version detection, used for XFCE4 on Wayland (WM, Linux)
  • Improve accuracy of GPU temperature detection for Intel dedicated GPUs on Windows (GPU, Windows)
  • Parse unicode escaped strings generated by qt5ct (#1864, Font, Linux)
  • Add --{duration,percent,size,freq,temp}-space-before-unit [always|never] options to add a space before the unit when printing duration, percent, size, frequency and temperature values
  • Add --duration-abbreviation to abbreviate duration values in custom format
    • For example: 1 day, 2 hours, 3 mins will be displayed as 1d 2h 3m
  • Add --percent-width to pad the percent value with spaces to a fixed width
    • For example: --percent-width 3 will display 50% instead of 50%; useful for aligning percent values in custom format

Bugfixes:

  • Improve accuracy of Flatpak count detection (#1856, Packages, Linux)
  • Remove qi package manager support (#1858, Packages, Linux)

Features:

  • Add support for detecting Openbox WM version (WM, Linux)
  • Improve reliability of child process spawning on Windows (Windows)

  • Add modules[n].condition to conditionally enable modules on different platforms
    • Useful when sharing configuration files across platforms
    • For example:
{
    "type": "custom",
    "format": "This string will be printed on Intel macOS only",
    "condition": {
        "system": "macOS", // Can be an array, optional
        "arch": "x86_64"  // Can be an array, optional too
    }
}

    • For example: fastfetch -s disk --disk-key 'OS Installation' --disk-format '{years} years {days-of-year} days'
  • Add --fraction-ndigits option to specify the number of digits after the decimal point when displaying ordinary fractional values
    • Typically used with {years-fraction} above
    • This option does not affect percentage values, sizes, etc, which are controlled by individual options.

Bugfixes:

2.40.2

Changes:

  • Since v2.40.0, we've been loading config files from the directory where the fastfetch binary is located. However, this approach may lead to loading unexpected files. For example, fastfetch -c groups would attempt to load /usr/bin/groups. Therefore, we now enforce the .jsonc extension when loading config files. Examples:
    1. -c filename: loads filename.jsonc
    2. -c filename.jsonc: loads filename.jsonc
    3. -c filename.json: loads filename.json and enforces strict JSON syntax (no comments or trailing commas)
    4. -c filename.ext: loads filename.ext.jsonc (.jsonc extension is enforced)

  • Mark kitty image protocol support for warp terminal (Logo)

2.3.0

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.
  • the value of GPUType integrated contained a typo and was fixed. Existing config files may need to be updated.

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.

2.0.0-beta

Fastfetch v2 introduces a new configuration file format: JSON config. Please refer to https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Configuration for details.

Changes:

  • Drop the dependency of cJSON. We now use yyjson to parse JSON documents.
  • Remove --shell-version and --terminal-version. They are always enabled (Terminal / Shell)
  • Remove --*-error-format, which seems to be useless
  • Remove --display-detect-name. Display name is always detected, and will be printed if multiple displays are detected
  • Deprecate --set and --set-keyless; they may be removed in future releases. Use JSON config with Custom module instead
  • Remove the special handling of Command module (it can be set once in the triditional config.conf). Use JSON config with Command module instead
  • Change --wm-theme-* to --wmtheme-*. Affect key and format (WMTheme)
  • Change --terminal-font-* to --terminalfont-*. Affect key and format (TerminalFont)
  • Module Command uses /bin/sh as the default shell on systems other than Windows (Command)
  • Fix M2 CPU temperature detection (CPU, macOS)
  • Detect monitor name when available, instead of using DRM connector name (Display / Brightness, Linux)

Features:

  • FreeBSD support is improved greatly, and actually tested in a physical machine

  • Support --*-key-color option to change the key color of specified module
  • Support --colors-symbol and --colors-padding-left (Colors)
  • Add LM (Login Manager) module. Currently requires systemd installed (thus Linux only)
  • Add --wmi-timeout option (Windows)
  • Add --logo-type small to search for small logos
  • Support detecting brightness of external displays with DDC/CI (guard behind --allow-slow-operations) (Brightness)
  • Add option --size-ndigits and --size-max-prefix (#494)
  • Add option --processing-timeout to the timeout when waiting for child processes.
  • Public IP module prints the IP location if --publicip-url is not set (PublicIP)
  • Add option --localip-default-route-only (LocalIP)
  • Add option --weather-location (Weather)
  • Support iTerm non-ascii font detection (Terminal, macOS)

  • Fix specifying --color second time won't clear the value set before (#517)

Logo:

  • Change the special handling of kitty protocol with .png image file to a new image protocol kitty-direct. This is the fastest image protocol because fastfetch doesn't need to pre-encode the image to base64 or something and the image content doesn't need to be transmitted via tty. Note:
    1. Although konsole was said to support kitty image protocol, it doesn't support kitty-direct
    2. wezterm support more image formats other than .png (tested with .jpg and .webp)

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.
