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.

Homebrew 5.0.0 introduces parallel downloads by default, official Linux ARM64 support, and announces deprecation timelines for macOS Intel (Tier 3 by September 2026, discontinued by September 2027). The release removes macOS Gatekeeper bypass options, adds a new internal JSON API, and includes numerous improvements to brew commands including bundle support for Go packages, Alpine Linux package search, and enhanced cask functionality on Linux.
