Homebrew on macOS: how to find older versions of a brew formula?

Question

Homebrew used the have the versions command to show a list of all previous versions of a specific formula. For example:

brew versions mysql

Would show a list of all older versions of the mysql formula.

For some reason the versions command has been removed. What is the correct way to do this nowasays?

FYI using Homebrew 2.4.2 on macOS 10.15.5 Catalina.

Answer 1

versions command has been removed and homebrew-versions repo also got removed.

For the homebrew formula versions, you can find more details in this doc.

As for mysql formula, we have different versions tracked down [email protected], [email protected], and mysql (aka [email protected]). For each release line, homebrew always keep it to the latest.

Let me know if it helps.
