This version of neofetch is vastly different from the previous versions and this
changelog won't cover everything that's changed. Have a look through the commit
history for more info.

There were a lot of major changes to how things work in this release so I'm expecting
bugs/things not working for people. Depending on what comes up we my release a few 1.8.X
versions.

This changelog is a bit of a mess this time around and I apologize but it should at least
get the message across.

Android support didn't make it into this release as it requires testing on more devices.
If you've got a device running android and would like to help test out the branch, check
out the open PR here: #322

This release also saw a lot more contributors which makes me really happy. Thanks to those
below for helping out. :)
