zfetch v0.2.0

Automatic Distro Logos and GitHub Update Manager

zfetch v0.2.0 introduces automatic Linux distribution logo detection and a GitHub-based update manager, making the lightweight Rust-powered system information tool easier to use and maintain.

This release also improves the built-in ASCII logo database while preserving custom logo support, JSONC configuration, and the existing native system detection features.

What's New

Automatic Linux Distribution Logos

  • Automatically detects the Linux distribution using /etc/os-release.
  • Displays a recognizable ASCII logo for supported distributions.
  • Includes a compact, embedded ASCII logo database with support for Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Fedora, Arch Linux, and other distributions.
  • Uses distribution family information as a fallback when an exact match is unavailable.
  • Preserves custom ASCII logos configured through JSONC or --logo.
  • Supports disabling the logo with --no-logo.

GitHub Update Manager

  • Introduces zfetch --check-update to check the latest stable GitHub Release.
  • Introduces zfetch --update for an interactive update workflow.
  • Compares version numbers to determine whether an update is available.
  • Recognizes development builds newer than the latest public release.
  • Supports checksum verification for compatible Debian package updates.
  • Keeps network operations separate from normal system information display.

Improvements

  • Replaces placeholder distribution logos with recognizable ASCII artwork.
  • Maintains support for custom ASCII logos and logo alignment.
  • Improves update status messages and version comparison behavior.
  • Preserves existing JSONC configuration and native hardware detection.
  • Adds unit tests for logo selection and update management.
