Google's Gemini has been added to Boost. This addition marks the completion of our support for all major code environments, further empowering developers with enhanced Laravel capabilities.

User guidelines now take precedence over the Boost presets while maintaining the overrides strategy, giving developers more control over how instructions are interpreted by agents.

Pull request by @pushpak1300

Sail now has first-class support across all guidelines. When a project installs Boost with Sail enabled, agent instructions now automatically switch to Sail-specific commands rather than native CLI commands.

With the new third-party guidelines feature, these guidelines can now live within the Filament package and automatically stay full up to date with any new Filament features introduced.

Pull request by @calebdw

Developers now have seamless integration of OpenCode in their workflows, with the ability to take advantage of its power just like any other agent.

Pull request by @yousefkadah

Previously, there wasn't a way to schedule tasks on multiple arbitrary days of the month (e.g., 1st, 10th). A daysOfMonth() method was added that allows scheduling tasks to run on multiple specific days of the month with a clean, intuitive API.

$schedule->command('process-payroll')
    ->daysOfMonth(1, 15) // 1st and 15th of each month
    ->timezone('America/New_York');

Pull request by @ziadoz

A new encoding validation rule was added that checks the contents of a file or string matches a specific encoding using mb_check_encoding(), ensuring that uploaded files are encoded as expected before processing.

Validator::validate($input, [
    'attachment' => [
        'required',
        File::types(['csv'])->encoding('utf-8'),
    ],
]);

Pull request by @browner12

The new @hasStack directive can be used to wrap @stack directives for conditional output depending on if the stack is empty or not. This is useful if you want some markup to wrap the stack only if it is not empty.

@hasStack("list")
<ul>
    @stack("list")
</ul>
@endif

A --middleware option was added to the route:list command to filter output by middleware. This can be a single middleware class name or a middleware group name, allowing you to easily see routes with the specified middleware applied.

php artisan route:list --middleware=api
php artisan route:list --middleware=ThrottleRequests

Pull request by @cosmastech

A new testing trait called WithCachedRoutes was introduced. This testing trait stores the routes as a static property within a Testing\CachedState object during test setup, ensuring subsequent tests do not need to read from disk.
