brew-browser 0.6.0 / Brew Browser native 0.2.0 — feature-request batch
Signed + notarized release. Tauri is the macOS 13+ / Linux build; native is the
macOS 26 SwiftUI build. The two version numbers track the same feature batch
(native 0.2.0 ≙ Tauri 0.6.0); they differ only because each shell versions by
its own release history.
What's new
- Reverse dependencies in package detail. Package pages show which installed
packages require the selected formula ("Required by"). - Deprecated / disabled indicators. Rows and detail panels surface Homebrew's
deprecation and disablement metadata — with the upstream reason and any
replacement token — instead of hiding lifecycle state. - Manual vs Dependency Library filters. Library filtering separates packages
the user requested from formulae installed only as dependencies. - Per-package disk size. Package detail shows the on-disk Cellar/Caskroom
footprint for installed packages. - Discover sub-categories. Within a selected Discover category, members are
grouped by their co-assigned categories so broad buckets are easier to scan. - Friendlier failure notices. When a brew job fails, the Activity drawer now
shows a concise, actionable notice instead of a raw error code. Casks that
need an administrator password (e.g.docker-desktop) — which can't prompt
under brew-browser's non-interactive brew — now explain to run the upgrade in
Terminal, and name the cask.
Changes
- The Dashboard "Recent changes" card has been withdrawn for this release while
its presentation is reworked; it will return in a follow-up. No data is lost —
the full history remains in the Activity view. - Package metadata and docs aligned to the release train: Tauri
0.6.0,
native0.2.0.
