Today, I’d like to announce Homebrew 5.0.0. The most significant changes since 4.6.0 are download concurrency by default, official support for Linux ARM64/AArch64, timescales for deprecating macOS Intel and removing macOS Gatekeeper bypass behaviours.
Shame on you, Homebrew, for effectively killing FOSS apps from casks.
I never understood what a “cask” in the brew lanuage means. I just do installs and if the brew install instructions involves a cask I just do it. How do I figure out which packages this will have an effect on on my system?

Casks are as a rule GUI applications. So if you want to install Firefox with homebrew would need to install it via a cask.
brew list --caskI think they’ve started flagging unnotarized apps as (deprecated), so maybe do a
brew infoon each.You can simply run
brew doctorand it will show you all deprecated casks.Cool beans 👏
