Full Changelog: 4.5.6...4.5.7

4.5.6

This release contains preliminary macOS 26 Tahoe support. When using macOS 26 betas, remember that:

• You must also update Xcode and the CLT to 26.0 beta
• brew install will default to Sequoia bottles until closer to release, so formulae like pkg-config, gcc and llvm will use the macOS 15 SDK when installed from a bottle and may not work correctly
• Formulae built from source may or may not work depending on whether upstreams support macOS/Xcode 26 yet

What's Changed

• Preliminary macOS 26 (Tahoe) support by @Bo98 in #20062
• cmd/vendor-install: fix exit code handling for curl by @Bo98 in #20063
• Reduce Homebrew/brew CI warnings by @MikeMcQuaid in #20054
• workflows/tests.yml: more CI tweaks. by @MikeMcQuaid in #20060
