Homebrew Formulae

Period: UTC commit years from 2009, with Current summing that window and showing the latest catalogue; the current year is incomplete.

Source: homebrew-core Git history, generated 2026-10-31T09:45:23Z; JSON.

Formulae: Regular package files at year end, or the checked revision for Current; aliases and other taps excluded.

Added / Removed: Package additions, including re-additions, and deletions; Git-detected renames preserve identity.

Other: Version changes outside the major, minor and patch components.

Revisions / Rebuilds: Formula commits increasing package revision or bottle rebuild without changing the version.

Coverage: First-parent Git history on golden_gate/arm, golden_gate/intel, linux/arm, linux/intel; one version-change category per commit, excluding unrecorded upstream releases.
