We've been shipping 0.15.0 since July 8 (ref). You just need to update Sherlock to the most recent version.

Also, worth noting --

It would be nice for it to just download the file and use it as a template locally, rather than using github for it.

This method would result in wildly inaccurate results as websites change way too frequently. By pulling the latest manifest from a remote source, it's able to at least reduce false positives and negatives. That being said, --local is still available which will use a local (but very rapidly outdated) copy as a backup.
