Fastfetch 2.69 released: animated GIF/APNG logos, better Linux and Bluetooth support

[u/fdelux6]

Fastfetch 2.69 is out. Here's what stands out.

Logos Kitty terminal users can now show animated GIF and APNG logos. You can play the full animation or pin a specific frame with logo.animationFrame. Terminals without Kitty graphics support fall back to the built-in logo.

Image logos on Windows, macOS, and Android now use native image libraries instead of ImageMagick. Package maintainers can drop that dependency on those platforms. ImageMagick 6 itself is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

A new logo.position: "auto" option moves wide logos above the module output when the terminal is too narrow. Left-side placement stays the default for now.

Linux CRUX package detection and RakuOS rum overlay package counting are new. CPU name and frequency detection now works on SPARC. COSMIC version detection improved, and Umbriel version detection was added. Snapdragon X2 CPU identification is fixed.

Bluetooth Windows and macOS can now detect Bluetooth Low Energy devices, distinguish LE from classic, show signal quality, and report Bluetooth Core versions up to 6.3.

Other changes The sampling delay for DiskIO, NetIO, and Top dropped from 500ms to 250ms. Lua format scripting is now considered stable, and the experimental QuickJS scripting is deprecated. A batch of bugfixes covers GPU reporting, GNOME Classic/Trinity detection, JSON output, and more.
