Homebrew 6.0 was released with several security and usability enhancements: a 'tap trust' mechanism to require explicit trust for third-party taps, Linux sandboxing using Bubblewrap, a 'brew vulns' command that checks installed packages against OSV, an ask mode for installs/upgrades, a new 'brew exec' command, improved startup performance, and policies on AI-assisted contributions; the article frames these changes as part of Homebrew's supply-chain security posture and notes plans to deprecate Intel macOS support.
