To answer the last question first, no - we update prerelease versions there 
all the time and those generally shouldn't be used to build new images (and 
sometimes there are manual changes too).

For current stable version, you can watch either:

https://github.com/clojure/homebrew-tools/blob/master/Formula/clojure.rb 
(the actual formula) or
https://github.com/clojure/brew-install/blob/1.10.1/stable.properties (the 
data file)

I don't think it's relevant to have every one of them for sure. I sometimes 
release multiple per day even. People might occasionally need a prerelease 
version, don't know. I'm hoping not to make the gaps too large between 
stable versions. The goal of the prereleases is really tire kicking and 
feedback on imminent stuff, but don't I expect it to get too for off of 
stable.
