Did you find something in Homebrew that wasn't the latest version? You can help yourself and others by submitting a pull request to update the formula.
First, check the pull requests in the [homebrew-core](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pulls) or [linuxbrew-core](https://github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew-core/pulls) repositories to make sure there isn't already an open PR. You may also want to look through closed pull requests for the formula, as sometimes formulae run into problems preventing them from being updated and it's better to be aware of any issues before putting significant effort into an update.

The guide on [opening a pull request](How-To-Open-a-Homebrew-Pull-Request.md#submit-a-new-version-of-an-existing-formula) should really be all you need, this will explain how to easily change the url to point to the latest version and that's really all you need. If you want to read up on `bump-formula-pr` before using it you could check [the manpage](Manpage.md#bump-formula-pr-options-formula).
