Description
The Homebrew-Cask project, which extends Homebrew for GUI programs, cannot properly checksum or check for updates unless the download URL for an application contains a version number. Since Keybase doesn’t provide a versioned download, the Cask for it is currently unable to do these things.
Would it be possible for a versioned download URL to be offered instead of the existing one?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reviewing how the macOS client download URL is published and consumed by Homebrew-Cask, then determine whether a versioned URL can be offered. Done means the Keybase macOS download URL includes a version so Homebrew-Cask can checksum it and check for updates.
