Update the versions of golo-lang on Homebrew

Retrieve information

• Get the url of the distribution archive for the new release
• Get the sha256 of this archive (like shasum -a 256 {archive})

Propose the pull request for the release

• Fork https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew
• Create a new branch golo-{version}[-{milestone}]
• Edit Library/Formula/golo.rb with the url to the new distribution artifact and his sha256
• Commit with the message golo {version}[-{milestone}]
• Propose the pull-request to Homebrew (the title must be as simple as golo {version}[-{milestone}] to facilitate the work of maintainers)

Milestone release

• instead of update the url/sha256, add (or update) the devel block to the formula with the url and his sha256

devel do
  url "https://bintray.com/artifact/download/golo-lang/downloads/golo-{version}[-{milestone}].zip"
  sha256 "{sha256 of the archive}"
  version "golo-{version}[-{milestone}]"
end

GA release

• in addition of the update, remove the devel block to the formula

Wait the merge of the pull-request

• When the wait is over, update homebrew on your own computer and brew install golo (or brew install --devel golo in case of milestone release)
