A quick note about the widget: if your Desktop widget still looks the same after updating, remove it (right-click โ Remove Widget) and re-add it from the widget gallery. macOS sometimes keeps the old widget design cached even after the app updates.
Bug Fixes
-
Update All Only Updates the Packages You See
โ Hidden, snoozed, and deprecated packages are no longer touched in the background when you click Update All
-
Widget No Longer Counts Taphouse Itself as Outdated
โ After Taphouse updates itself, Homebrew's catalog briefly thinks Taphouse is out of date. The widget now ignores that
