What happened?

I'm stuck on 0.38.2 though 0.40.0 seems to be the current release. Other packages from homebrew gets updated fine.

TL;DR

Update the package using an alternative method since Homebrew is not updating it to the latest version.

Guidance

  • Check if there are any specific update instructions for the gemini package, as it may not be following the standard Homebrew update process.
  • Try updating the package manually by running a command like brew upgrade gemini or brew reinstall gemini to force an update.
  • If the issue persists, consider checking the Homebrew formula for gemini to see if it has been updated to reference the latest version (0.40.0).
  • Verify the update by running the /about command in the gemini CLI to check the version number.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the gemini package or the user's Homebrew configuration, so further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try alternative update methods, as the issue seems to be related to the package update process rather than a version-specific problem.
