v1.0.1 Hotfix

This is both an "official" release for 1.0 version of Anifetch and a hotfix for #76 which is now correctly resolved.

Hotfix

• Transparent GIF's were not being rendered correctly due to ffmpeg extracting frames as JPEG. This was solved by using PNG's if a GIF is being used. #76

New Features in 1.0

• Cross compatibility for Linux, MacOS and Windows.
• --interval flag which allows anifetch to refresh the fetch info over time. For example, if you give it --interval 1 it will update the info every second.
• Caching is now a lot faster, roughly 2.5x. I achieved this by extracting frames as jpeg when using ffmpeg and using multithreading for chafa.
• Automatic key exit: Anifetch now quits when you press a key(before you had to spesifically do Ctrl+C).
• Fastfetch is now the default backend to use, I should’ve done this sooner considering neofetch is unmaintained lol.

I hope you like this tool!

There are no executables as this is a python cli. However I have attached the python wheel below. Github should automatically include the source code too.
