MikeMcQuaidToday I’d like to announce Homebrew 2.4.0. The most significant changes since 2.3.0 are dropping macOS Mavericks support, the deprecation of devel versions and brew audit speedups.
Major changes and deprecations since 2.3.0:
- Homebrew’s minimum macOS version is Yosemite.
develversions in formulae have been deprecated.brew pullhas been deprecated in favour ofhub checkout.
Other changes since 2.3.0 I’d like to highlight are the following:
brew auditis significantly faster.brew irbcorrectly usesTERMINFOto improve keyboard handling.- Homebrew uses system Gems correctly.
man brewlists the full help for all official external commands (which now includesbrew test-bot).
Finally:
- Homebrew accepts donations through GitHub Sponsors and still accepts donations through Patreon. If you can afford it, please consider donating. If you’d rather not use GitHub Sponsors or Patreon (our preferred donation methods), check out the other ways to donate in our README.
Thanks to all our hard-working maintainers, contributors, sponsors and supporters for getting us this far. Enjoy using Homebrew!
