Cork 1.7.0 Out: MASSIVE New Feature, macOS Tahoe

You're going to love it

Additions

• Adoptable packages are the flagship new feature in this release, a first in the whole world of Homebrew. Now, Cork sees which apps you have installed outside of Homebrew, and offers to add the to Homebrew for you - after you do, you can manage them as any other Homebrew app, and have Homebrew update them.

  

  • You can right-click the adoptable app to show additional actions: revealing the app executable in Finder, and previewing its cask

  

  • You can select as many apps you’d like to add at a time. Before the process starts, you get an option to change your mind

    

  • This feature is entirely custom-made and extremely performant, and is an integral part of my Spirytus project: an effort to rewrite all Homebrew systems in Swift for massive performance and efficiency gains, and to decouple Cork from the often buggy Homebrew base and its toxic developers

• Casks now show the actual app that the cask installed

  

  • You can right-click on the app icon to reveal the app in Finder

  

Fixes

• Cask details now show the size of the actual app, instead of just its Homebrew metadata

• Renames packages no longer shop up as broken. A more comprehensive support for them is coming in a future release

Adjustments

• Updated Cork for the Tahoe Liquid Glass design

• Buttons for adding taps and installing packages have new icons

  

• The Settings window now animates when changing panes, like first-party Apple apps

• Added icons to relevant buttons

• Removal of the —no-quarantine flag from the install command in order to cope with another unannounced change to Homebrew
