brewsoak 1.0.0

First release of brewsoak, a Homebrew wrapper that delays homebrew/core and homebrew/cask updates for a soak window. This gives security researchers time to discover and yank a compromised package before you install it.

Install with Homebrew (macOS, recommended)

brew install ericfitz/tap/brewsoak

Installs the prebuilt universal (Apple Silicon + Intel) binary attached to this release. It is code-signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple.

Install with Cargo

From crates.io:

cargo install brewsoak

Or straight from this repository:

cargo install --git https://github.com/ericfitz/brewsoakr

Cargo installs build from source and need a recent Rust toolchain (edition = "2024").
