Neofetch 1.6

Another week another release of Neofetch.

This release focused on cleanup, bug fixes and optimization. Neofetch
is now much much faster than last release and more bug free than ever
before!

This release surprisingly didn't break much at all, see the latest entry in
the wiki page Following HEAD.

Contributors

Thanks to the following people for contributing this release.

General

  • Added Travis CI support.
  • Added --test which is meant for testing and prints all functions.
  • Cleanup of Distro, Uptime, Memory and CPU functions.
  • We now use a more reliable white-space trimming substitution for CPU/GPU etc.
  • Use stty instead of read -s to fix an issue with escape sequences<br >
    appearing in the output.
  • Line wrap is now disabled by default.
  • Implement base support for caching specific info. This will eventually<br >
    allow us to speed up the script by caching info that won't change for a<br >
    long period of time like the CPU/GPU. [1]
  • Fixed a locale issue when LC_ALL is unset on the user's system.
  • Change all usage of $HOME/.config to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME with a fallback to $HOME/.config.

[1] You can clear the cache with --clean.
