Cork 2.0.0 Public Beta 2 is Out!

Jul 03, 2026

First off, I’d like to thank everyone from the community for the positive response to the first public beta of Cork 2.0.0!

Now, Public Beta 2 is out and ready for testing, with important bug fixes.

As before, test everything you can think of, and if you find bugs that are not listed below, report them through:

Fixed Known Bugs

Since the previous release, these bugs have been fixed:

~~Maintenance~~
- ~~The button “Delete Cached Downloads“ on the Start Page doesn’t correctly select the “Delete cached downloads“ checkbox~~
- ~~Deleting cached downloads doesn’t correctly report how much space was freed - the report will always show “You reclaimed Zero kB“~~
~~Install process~~
- ~~Unimplemented Formula errors don’t show up~~

These bugs that were not reported in the previous release were fixed:

Maintenance
- Settings
  - Settings pane for Maintenance was invisible
  - “Set default steps“ was not saving nor correctly checking the maintenance steps

There are no known new bugs in this release

These known bugs remain from the previous Public Beta:

Taps
- Taps are still hit-or-miss whether they load.
  - You can report problems with loading third-party taps (those that don’t start with homebrew), but be sure to include both Cork’s logs, and the information as provided by Homebrew through the Terminal
  - First-party taps (those that do start with homebrew) don’t load at all
Sheets
- Some sheets have the wrong button label for closing them - for most, it’s “Cancel” instead of a more contextual label
Package loading
- Synchronizing packages following changes like updates, etc. is pretty slow for the time being due to a lot of debug logging for the purposes of testing the release
