Bug fixes

Noticeable fixes

• Fixed loc_localhost (used to be loc_localdomain) and loc_docker not working
• Title no longer uses bold when title_color is set to false
• Up to 3 GPUs will be listed, instead of just the first found
• gpu() will now hide Rev. A or similar in NVIDIA cards
• host() will not print To Be Filled By O.E.M. anymore

Technical fixes

• The memory module can now print in up to 256B (was 200B because of 55 reserved for the percentage)
• Reduced the amount of memory the boolean options take (by bit-masking a big 64-bit integer)

Full Changelog: v4.0...v4.1

albafetch v4.0

Install Instructions

The binaries (albafetch) found inside of the zip files can be installed by just marking it as executable (chmod +x albafetch) and moved or copied over to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (sudo cp albafetch /usr/bin/)

For archlinux-based Linux distributions, use the archlinux package (sudo pacman -U albafetch-4.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst). Please note that there are also some AUR packages avaiable, more about them in the readme

For debian-based Linux distributions, use the deb package (sudo dpkg -i albafetch_4.0_amd64.deb).

Changelog

• The whole codebase has been completely re-written
• Some new functions, disabled by default.
• A lot of config options have been added, and many have been renamed. You can check them out in the default config
• Many, many other (minor) changes, bug fixes, and minor improvements.
• Some new bugs, probably

Because of these changing, an old config file will very likely not be compatible with the new version. I highly recommend rewriting your config from scratch using the example as reference.

Good luck, I hope you enjoy :D

albafetch v2.7

Install Instructions

The Linux binary (albafetch) can be installed by just marking it as executable (chmod +x albafetch) and moved or copied over to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (sudo cp albafetch /usr/bin/)

For archlinux-based Linux distributions, I reccomend installing the archlinux package (sudo pacman -U albafetch-2.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst)

albafetch will also run on macOS, at least on recent versions, but it will need to be compiled manually compiled as specified in the package README.md. It should work on both x86_64 ("Intel") and arm64 ("Apple Silicon") machines. Binaries might be provided in the future, those would need to be just marked as executable (chmod +x albafetch) and moved or copied over to /usr/local/bin (sudo cp albafetch /usr/local/bin/).

Good luck, I hope you enjoy :D

albafetch now accepts flags!

• --help or -h will print some useful info and exit
• --color or -c can be used to change the colored parts of the output
• --bold or -b can be used to toggle the bold in the colored parts of the output

some new blocks (disabled by default):

• user - displays the name of the currently logged user
• hostname - displays the machine hostname

all data now alligns

other minor changes

First release :D

Basically, it just does the same things neofetch doesn, but worse and harder to configure. It's 10x faster tho :P

Enjoy!
