2.65.0 was skipped due to an internal packaging issue.

Changes:
* `display.disableLinewrap` now defaults to `false`.
    * This allows long lines to wrap instead of being truncated, preventing confusion for new users.
    * Wrapped lines may overlap with the image logo. Users who prefer the old behavior can set `display.disableLinewrap: true` in their config file or use `--disable-linewrap true` on the command line.
* Reorders package manager variables in custom format strings, moving aggregate variables (e.g., `all`, `brew-all`, `flatpak-all`) to the end. (Packages)
    * This is a breaking change for users relying on numeric placeholders (e.g., `{1}`). Numeric placeholders are a long-deprecated feature; named placeholders (e.g., `{pacman}`) are always preferred and future-proof.
* Enables `showPeCoreCount` by default to better display hybrid-architecture core counts. (CPU)
* No longer accepts `chafa` options in config files if `chafa` support was disabled at compile time. (Logo)
    * This may affect users who generated their config files using `fastfetch --gen-full-config`. To resolve this, simply remove the `chafa` section from the config file.

Features:
* Adds detection for CPU code names (e.g., "Alder Lake", "Zen 4") and manufacturing technologies (e.g., "Intel 7", "TSMC N4") on x86 processors. (#1501, CPU, X86)
    * These can be used in custom formats via `{code-name}` and `{technology}`.
* Adds PCIe link speed detection (current and max generation & lanes) for GPUs on Linux and Windows.
    * These can be used in custom formats via `{pcie-max-speed}` and `{pcie-curr-speed}`.
* Adds HDR display detection via the `wp-color-management-v1` Wayland protocol. (#2356, Display, Linux)
    * Previously, HDR detection was only supported on KDE Plasma.
* Adds the `egl-ext` detection method, which uses `EGL_EXT_device_enumeration` for GPU enumeration. (GPU)
* Adds terminal version and font detection for `kmscon`. (#2393, Terminal / TerminalFont, Linux)
* Adds the currently-in-beta code name "Golden Gate" for macOS 27. (OS, macOS)
* Adds WPA version detection on FreeBSD. (Wifi, FreeBSD)
* Adds package manager support for `porg` (#2405) and `install-release` (#2342). (Packages, Linux)
* Adds Weston version detection. (WM, Linux)
* Improves the core type (P-Core/E-Core) fetching mechanism on Windows by using `EfficiencyClass` instead of legacy frequency inference. (CPU, Windows)
* Improves display detection compatibility with KDE 6.7. (Display, Linux)
* Improves display serial number detection, now preferring alphanumeric serial numbers when available. (Display)
    * This can be used in custom formats via `{serial}`.
* Improves the performance of `emerge` package manager detection. (#2406, Packages, Linux)
* Improves error messages for config file parsing errors.
* Improves reliability of the `Codec` module on Linux (Codec, Linux)
    * Adds `va-x11` backend for VA-API and VDPAU, which is used if `va-drm` backend fails to initialize.
    * Fixes an issue where the Codec module incorrectly reports no results when the `codec.showType` option is set.

Bugfixes:
* Fixes physical core detection on non-x86 architectures and simplifies the frequency detection code. (CPU, Linux)
* Fixes console mode and output code page initialization issues when running `fastfetch` in `Conhost`. (#2383, Windows)
* Fixes public IP detection randomly failing on Linux. (#2401, PublicIP, Linux)
* Fixes several memory leaks.

Logos:
* Adds Zerene OS. (#2404)
