Laravel Release Notes

Pull request by @JosephSilber

$collection
    ->withHeartbeat(CarbonInterval::minutes(5), function () {
        // ...
    })
    ->each(function ($item) {
        // ...
    });

The new withHeartbeart method allows you to run a callback at regular time intervals while the collection is being lazily enumerated, particularly useful for long-running processes.

$collection = collect([1,2,3]);

// Instead of this:
$collection->toJson(JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

// You can now do this:
$collection->toPrettyJson();

Http::allowStrayRequests([
    'http://127.0.0.1:13714/*',
]);

The Http::allowStrayRequests method now accepts an argument that allows you to specify URLs that tests are allowed to send requests to when using Http::preventStrayRequests.

if ($this->hasChanges($data)) {
    Arr::push($result, 'pending.changes', $data);
}

A new Arr method that allows you to push something to an array if the array exists, or initialize it to an empty array and then push to it if it doesn't.

Pull request by @xiCO2k

Adds a config('boost.enabled') option to allows users to specifically enable/disable Boost in certain scenarios outside of environment constraints.

Pull request by @yitzwillroth

Updates Boost guidelines to prefer the usage of Pint with the --dirty flag for cleaner diffs and PRs.

Pull request by @joetannenbaum

import { Form } from "@inertiajs/react";

export default function Login() {
    return (
        <Form action="/login" method="post">
            {/* Form fields */}
        </Form>
    );
}

Reduces the boilerplate for all forms in the starter kits by replacing useForm with the new Inertia Form component.

php artisan queue:work --verbose
// App\Jobs\UrgentAction 85 high
// App\Jobs\NormalAction 84 default

With --verbose, you’ll now see queue names alongside each job and job ID, making multi-queue debugging straightforward and saving you time when tracing issues.

Pull request by @devajmeireles

echo json_encode(new Uri('/path?x=1'));
// "http://localhost:8000/path?x=1"

This release fixes a serialization bug, properly converting the URI to a string when serializing a larger JSON object that contains the URI as a value.

Pull request by @balboacodes

str('apple')->doesntStartWith('b'); // true
str('apple')->doesntEndWith('e'); // false

The inverse of startsWith/endsWith, these new methods allow you to fluently test for starting and ending characters in your string.

Pull request by @ralphjsmit

$users->pluck(fn($u) => $u->email, fn($u) => strtoupper($u->name));

You can now dynamically generate keys and values via callbacks. Instead of mapping then plucking, you get a single, flexible method that reduces steps and keeps intent clear.

./vendor/bin/pint --parallel

By leveraging PHP CS Fixer’s parallel runner, Pint now formats files concurrently. On large codebases that once took minutes, you’ll see results in seconds, speeding up both local workflows and CI pipelines for a clear quality of life win.

Telescope’s frontend now uses Vite instead of Mix. Asset builds finish faster, hot-reloads are more reliable, and you benefit from a modern toolchain without changing your workflow.
