- Release includes assorted bug‑fixes and type‑hints across the framework (e.g., Str helpers, collection mutators, Redis tagged cache).
The Mercure driver gives Laravel apps a low‑overhead SSE alternative to WebSockets, useful for simple real‑time UIs and for environments like FrankenPHP where a full WebSocket server is overkill. The new filesystem helpers simplify cross‑disk migrations, reducing boilerplate and potential errors. E…
