This major release is backwards compatible with older versions, however, the configuration style and internals have changed significantly. Several new info segments have been added, along with the ability to configure the order of info segments and to add custom segments, as well as many other features, improvements and bug fixes. Two new maintainers have also been added, @jcwillox and @rashil2000.

New Configuration

We have also switched to a much more modular approach for info segments, this simplified the code and made it easier to add new info segments. This change also allows users to add custom info segments in their config. The default config has been updated, see the configuration docs for more information.

If you never used winfetch -genconf before then you should automatically be switched to the new config, otherwise, you can regenerate a new config with winfetch -genconf.
Optionally, you can attempt to migrate your old configuration, this commit may help.

Benchmarks

There have been many improvements to speed since v1.2.0. Comparing v1.2.0 to v2.0.0 with the same segments enabled 1500ms -> 350ms which is around a 4x improvement. More details can be seen on the winfetch vs neofetch benchmarks.
