Hi,

After running brew info syntax-highlight, I see the following

==> syntax-highlight: 2.1.27 (auto_updates)

Is there anything you can do to avoid the deprecated message?

Homebrew has decided to deprecate apps that aren't signed with the Apple Developer Certificate. I hope to release a signed version sooner or later. But then I'll have to revise a series of tricks I'd implemented precisely to work around the lack of certification...

The reasoning is that unsigned casks shouldn't be part of the official taps.
Anyway I added a fix #331
This also takes care of the quarantine issue on a post-install.

[sbarex]

don't worry, as soon as I have some free time I will release a digitally signed version

@sbarex Should I close the PR then?

Let's keep it open as a reminder for when I get around to working on it. Thanks!
