| [Portable Ruby 3.1.4](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/16145) that will be installed whenever needed on | ||
| Linux x86_64 and macOS Apple Silicon and Intel. | ||
| This marks the end of Homebrew using the macOS system Ruby. | ||
| Pour one out for our old friend `/usr/bin/ruby` on macOS 🍻. |
| - [Homebrew can be configured with `.env` files.](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/15787) | ||
| - [Homebrew supports macOS Sonoma.](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/16019) | ||
| - [`OS::Mac` and `MacOS` usage in formulae on Linux is deprecated.](https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/16224) | ||
| Please guard all uses in formulae with `if OS.mac?` or `if OS.linux?` as appropriate. |

question: I'm a few minutes late on this, but are these preferred over on_macos and on_linux and friends? We're using those inside some internal formulae.

Depends. Basic reading of the formulae (i.e. outside def install/test) should, where possible, use on_{system} so that you can, e.g., know the dependencies on Linux from a macOS system.
Inside of def install only ever runs on the system you are installing on so use if OS.whatever? there.
I believe brew style checks for the latter case, but does not check for the former case in third-party taps since it doesn't support 100% of use cases. https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/Library/Homebrew/rubocops/lines.rb#L403-L442
