Today I'm proud to announce the release of Homebrew 4.0.0.

The most significant change since 3.6.0 enables significantly faster Homebrew-maintained tap updates by migrating from Git-cloned taps to JSON downloads. In short, this means `brew update` and auto-updates will be much faster.

Also, if you read to the end you get to see me in a stupid beer outfit the other maintainers made me wear.

@mike I seem to remember a blog post by GitHub engineers on how to balance load of git pull/fetch and specifically calling homebrew out as a project doing a lot of load - I guess they are really happy now :D

Didn't read the linked post and don't use homebrew anymore (not on macOS anymore) but that sounds like a really great change!
