Brew cask support

[TribuneX]

I am installing most of my apps via homebrew cask. It would be nice if brewlet could also notify me for updates for my casks.

I completely agree — it's a feature I've had in my backlog for quite a while. I think brew recently changed the API so it might be even easier now than before. Keep an eye out for the next release!

I created a pull request to brew to add data to their json API that will help with this feature: Homebrew/brew#10278

I'd like this. I always find my casks outdated

Commit 6027ad4 adds support for casks by using v2 of the JSON API brew provides. This means that outdated casks will now appear in the Packages menu list. I currently treat casks as formulae since they share corer common attributes, but am open to feedback.

Note that brew does not upgrade all casks, see this FAQ: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/120dab281625f4d2901f87cfa9597b881251a688/docs/FAQ.md#why-arent-some-apps-included-during-brew-upgrade. I don't see the need currently to implement a --greedy option.

Now released in v1.6!
