Well, as of right now 7 months and 246 new commits from v1.0.0 to v2.0.0-beta1.
It surely has took many days and months to release this. From having breakdowns and absent willing to work on customfetch, I still wanted to look forward for the future of customfetch because it was my first ever project that took so much work for bringing it to life.

What's in this beta release?

This beta is all about two things: getting started on macOS support and an excitingly experimental plugin support.

Adding full macOS support is a big job that's still in progress. Instead of waiting for that to be completely finished, I wanted to release this version now so you can test the main new plugin-based module loader.

This new system lets you create or add external plugins to display almost any info you can think of, like live weather, GitHub stats, or anything else, right alongside your system information. It's a level of customization that really sets custom fetch apart.

So, jump in, try making a plugin, and see what you can add to your fetch!

What's Changed

✨ Major Features & Enhancements

• Plugin-based Modules Loader: Introduced a new plugin-based system for loading external info modules. (by @Toni500github in #4)

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v2.0.0-beta1

4 months and 143 commits since v0.10.2 released, damn this project fell down from its prime where there would be a big release every month...

Ahahah, jokes apart, I didn't actually left behind customfetch at all, instead what I was doing in these 4 months was to create an unique feature that you have never saw before: a neofetch-like program in an android widget app.
You may have saw fast/neofetch running in termux, but

This is the first android application I have ever developed and indeed it took 4 months because of it, but to be honest I'm starting to like developing applications for android. Some may criticize, but the application was created with android views instead of composable, because that's the first thing I have learnt and I got the hand of it and I actually enjoy writting XML (sometimes) 🙃

Also an important change is separating the GUI mode, -g or --gui, into its own binary GUI app called custmofetch-gui.
This is because if you had compiled in the past customfetch with GUI_MODE, the execution in the terminal would be much slower and the linker won't let you do it if you didn't have gtk3 installed.

After this release, i'll take some days of breaks for relaxing a bit.
Thank you so much for the patience and support <3
