Laravel 10.8, weekly updates, and 🔥 tip

Laravel 10.8

Some new features this week brings us to Laravel 10.8.0. Here are the highlights:

  • Add syntax sugar to Process::pipe in #46745
  • Allow specifying index name for constrained column in #46746
  • Allow customizing redirect URL in AuthenticateSession middleware in #46752
  • Class based after validation rules in #46757
  • Minor skeleton slimming in #6159
  • Add maxExceptions to broadcast event in #46800

You may review the full branch diff on GitHub for a complete list of changes.

This version bump and update is automated for subscribers to a Shifty Plan. If you don't have one of those, be sure to bump your constraint and run composer update to get the latest features.

Weekly Journal

I made a few more tweaks last week based on user feedback, but mostly notably I live streamed and began shifting (no pun) my focus to the new Shift CLI. I will live stream tomorrow to begin porting over the Shift Workbench tasks to the Shift CLI. This is a good opportunity for me to review the tasks and remove outdated tasks, as well as add new ones.

That will be my focus this week and in the coming weeks, until it's done. But I'll finish out today by adding automation for the skeleton slimming in today's release.

🔥 Tip

Nothing more productive than embracing the framework…
