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 @marquiskurt Congrats! I was so out of the loop that I didn’t know about the “install_from_api” feature until today! Trying it now, and I wonder if I’m going to get as much improvement as I got by replacing the cocoapods master git repo with CDN.

@mike @marquiskurt Brilliant, got 1GB back. The new formulae files are only 20+MB.
