I'm a bit divided on this one. On one hand, it is useful, yes, but I don't really want to start the precedent (I think, maybe it wouldn't be the first) of having different casks for different versions of one app.

It seems it could get confusing, specially since in this case if you're a registered user you have access to it, which means you also presumably know of it. It’s different from a trial, since you can download one of those and still use it, but this one could be unusable if you don’t know that it’s available only to registered users.

I’m also worried for the future of it. Changing casks’ names (it would eventually be deleted and substitute the current one) always makes me think that we could be breaking someone’s script (I may be biased here, as I use a script to manage my casks, not sure if anyone else does).

I voiced my concerns, so I’ll leave this one to @phinze — being his project, he should have final say on these matters.

[mwarkentin]

Definitely understandable - seems like #142 would be the ideal way to deal with this.

It seems like textmate1 and textmate2 made it in, so can this?

[vitorgalvao]

They made it previously, but textmate 1 will be removed soon (for some of the same reasons this wasn’t merged yet).

We have to strike some balance between available apps and possible user confusion; even a recent pull request for a dev version was put on hold, and we’re talking about standardizing cask names.

As @mwarkentin mentioned (and I agree), #142 would provide the place for this. I don’t believe different casks for different versions of apps to be an acceptable solution (for reasons mentioned previously, and on other issues), and I think we can do better.

ST3 is since Build 3047 a public beta. No registration needed. I guess it's ok to merge.

[fanquake]

@mwarkentin Can you update this pull request to the latest beta version (3047)?

[sheerun]

This PR was with latest: #1063

[mwarkentin]

@fanquake Done.

[phinze]

Hey thanks to our new beta policy, I can finally merge this! Thanks for sticking around. 🌝

[mwarkentin]

@phinze Is there a discussion or issue for the beta policy? Just curious. :)

[phinze]

@mwarkentin sorry should have linked from original mention; check out #1171 for the meeting minutes 📝

[hanxue]

I see that #1240 is linked to this issue - will the pull request be merged?

By the way, I fail to find any references on beta policy. Can someone be kind enough to point me to the page, as well as other docs not within the git repo, i.e. meeting minutes, etc?

[mwarkentin]

@hanxue You can see the notes here: #1171

[mwarkentin]

Was this removed for some reason?

[nanoxd]

@mwarkentin The cask can be found in caskroom/homebrew-versions

[mwarkentin]

Ah, thank you!
