Thank you! I don't yet see this update through the app's "Check for Updates..." option or through brew upgrade --cask amethyst. Is there anything else I should do to get the new version, or should I just be patient?

It's not out yet on the update channel, and I don't actually maintain the home brew cask. It just gets magically updated, and I haven't looked at who the saint that updates it is.
