A 🐛😭: if you `brew update`d in the last 21h you need to run `cd $(brew --repo); git fetch; git reset --hard origin/master`. Sorry and RT!

- We’ve been getting some questions about Max Howell’s (creator of Homebrew’s) new Tea project. Homebrew’s leadership or maintainers were not aware of this project until the announcement post. Homebrew and Tea are run, built, lead and funded separately to solve different problems.
- Homebrew will be just fine without system ruby. Minor re-write of our installer, in order, but we have a "portable ruby" that we can use in a pinch! Also, please don't fret over /usr/local. Mahalo. 🌈🍻
- We’re considering moving to @AdoptOpenJDK for Homebrew formulae and @HomebrewCasks that require Java. See GitHub pull request github.com/Homebrew/brew/… for details.
- Homebrew taps (3rd-party repositories) now support a GitHub Actions-based workflow hosting their bottles (binary packages) on GitHub Releases (rather than Bintray). This should make it significantly easier to distribute macOS and/or Linux bottles.
- Homebrew will remove the python@2 formula on Monday 10 February. If you need python@2 after this date please use `brew extract` to maintain it in your personal tap.
- We have heard your feedback on Python 3 and tomorrow will be making `brew install python` and `brew install python@2` PEP 394 compliant: github.com/Homebrew/homeb…. We will not change this again until PEP 394 has changed. Sorry for the pain; we've tried our best ❤️
- Homebrew 1.1.0 has been released: brew.sh/2016/11/07/hom…
- A security researcher identified a vulnerability in the homebrew-cask* repositories' GitHub Actions. A cask was compromised with a harmless change in a demonstration PR until it was reverted. No user action is required. For more details read:
