Today I’d like to announce Homebrew 1.1.0. We’ve had a great response to Homebrew 1.0.0 and been iterating on our work there. That 1.1.0 follows 1.0.9 is a happy coincidence due to breaking changes; in the future we may have a e.g. 1.1.10.

1.1.0 contains some breaking changes:

• Disable SHA-1 checksum support in formulae
• Disable running Homebrew as the root user (e.g. sudo brew)
• Bottles with _or_later tags no longer use _or_later in their filenames so the existing bottle can be reused

Some of the changes since 1.0.0 I’d like to highlight are the following:

• A branch named stable (rather than master) is used for following Homebrew/brew tags
• brew test-bot has moved to its own tap
• brew info now also lists Requirements (e.g. depends_on :foo) as well as dependencies
• RuboCop configured so RuboCop-supporting editors get the correct messaging for editing files in Homebrew/brew and Library/Taps
• External brew commands can now use #: comments to automatically have rich --help output
• The brew.1 manpage points to official external commands (brew bundle, brew cask, brew services)
• OS X Mavericks (10.9) and above now use BSD tar’s libarchive LZMA support rather than needing to install xz
• A brew tap-new command is available for creating a new tap with a README and preconfigured Travis CI file (.travis.yml)
• Bottle/binary package creation and extraction has been sped up
• brew output has been improved when git is not installed
• A new brew cask reinstall command was added
• brew info now lists required option builds in dependencies output

Enjoy using Homebrew!
