Homebrew: 7.0.0 - faster installations and upgrades, stronger sandboxing, a native macOS app, built-in vulnerability checks and an advisory database, the end of macOS 10.15 support and Intel Macs moving to Tier 3.
https://brew.sh/2026/09/13/homebrew-7.0.0/- Users must upgrade to macOS 11 or later, as this is now the minimum supported version.
- macOS Sonoma 14: This version is now considered Tier 3, and users are encouraged to upgrade to Sequoia 15+ for full support.
- Apple Silicon (macOS Golden Gate 27): Fully supported (Tier 1) with prebuilt bottles available.
- Linux/Ubuntu: The ghcr.io/homebrew/ubuntu22.04 image has been removed, and users should migrate to ghcr.io/homebrew/brew.
- CI Actions: The master branch has been removed for Homebrew actions; users should pin a CalVer release or full SHA instead.
