<h1>Bold Brew 2.0: Complete Homebrew Management with Cask Support</h1>
|
|
<p>We're thrilled to announce <strong>Bold Brew 2.0</strong>, the biggest update since launch! This release transforms Bold Brew from a formula-only manager into a <strong>complete Homebrew management solution</strong> that handles both command-line tools and GUI applications.</p>
|
|
<h2>🎉 What's New</h2>
|
|
<h3>Full Homebrew Casks Support</h3>
|
|
<p>The most requested feature is finally here! Bold Brew now provides <strong>complete support for Homebrew Casks</strong>, allowing you to manage GUI applications and binaries directly from the same intuitive interface you love.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>What are Casks?</strong> Homebrew Casks extend Homebrew's package management to include macOS and Linux GUI applications. Instead of just installing command-line tools like <code>git</code> or <code>node</code>, you can now manage apps like Google Chrome, Visual Studio Code, Docker Desktop, and thousands more.</p>
|
|
<h4>Visual Type Indicators</h4>
|
|
<p>Never wonder what type of package you're looking at! Bold Brew 2.0 introduces clear visual indicators:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>[F]</code> - Formula (command-line tool)</li>
|
|
<li><code>[C]</code> - Cask (GUI application or binary)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>These tags appear throughout the interface, making it instantly clear whether you're working with a CLI tool or a desktop application.</p>
|
|
<h3>Smart Leaves Filter</h3>
|
|
<p>Tired of seeing all those dependency packages cluttering your installed list? The new <strong>Leaves Filter</strong> (press <code>L</code>) shows only packages you explicitly installed, hiding all the dependencies that came along for the ride.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Perfect for:</strong></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Cleaning up your system by identifying what you actually need</li>
|
|
<li>Creating reproducible development environments</li>
|
|
<li>Understanding your actual package footprint</li>
|
|
<li>Selective updates of only your core tools</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>XDG Base Directory Compliance</h3>
|
|
<p>Bold Brew 2.0 now follows the <a href="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html">XDG Base Directory Specification</a>, providing a cleaner, more standards-compliant cache management:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Linux</strong>: <code>~/.cache/bbrew</code> or <code>$XDG_CACHE_HOME/bbrew</code></li>
|
|
<li><strong>macOS</strong>: <code>~/Library/Caches/bbrew</code> (native macOS location!)</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Windows</strong> (WSL2): Windows Known Folders support</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>No more random dotfiles in your home directory—everything is where it should be.</p>
|
|
