Homebrew deprecated the string-comparison format for `depends_on macos:`. `depends_on macos: ">= :ventura"` now emits: Calling "string comparison format for depends_on macos:" is deprecated! Use `depends_on macos: :ventura` instead. A bare symbol already means "this version or newer" (default >= comparator), so this is semantically identical and matches `brew style`'s autocorrect.

depends_on macos: ">= :ventura"todepends_on macos: :venturainCasks/browserino.rb.Why
Recent Homebrew (6.x) deprecated the string-comparison format for
depends_on macos:. Installing/upgrading the cask currently prints:A bare version symbol already uses a
>=comparator under the hood, sodepends_on macos: :venturameans the same thing ("Ventura or newer") and is exactly whatbrew style --fixautocorrects to. Purely cosmetic — nothing was broken — but it silences the warning for everyone using the tap.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
