:information_source: To slim down the Laravel installation, Laravel 11 no longer has most of the core files previously included in the default Laravel application. While you are welcome to publish and customize these files, they are no longer required.
Shift takes an iterative approach to removing core files which are not customized or where its customizations may be done elsewhere in a modern Laravel 11 application. As such, you may see some commits removing files and others re-registering your customizations.
:information_source: Laravel 11 no longer requires you to maintain the default configuration files. Your configuration now merges with framework defaults.
Shift streamlined your configuration files by removing options that matched the Laravel defaults and preserving your true customizations. These are values which are not changeable through ENV
variables.
If you wish to keep the full set of configuration files, Shift recommends running artisan config:publish --all --force
to get the latest configuration files from Laravel 11, then reapplying the customizations Shift streamlined.
:information_source: Shift detected customized options within your configuration files which may be set with an ENV
variable. To help keep your configuration files streamlined, you may set the following variables. Be sure adjust any values per environment.
AUTH_PASSWORD_RESET_TOKEN_TABLE=password_resets
BCRYPT_ROUNDS=10
CACHE_STORE=file
DB_CHARSET=utf8mb4
DB_COLLATION=utf8mb4_unicode_ci
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync
SESSION_DRIVER=file
Note: some of these may simply be values which changed between Laravel 10 and Laravel 11. You may ignore any ENV
variables you do not need to customize.
:warning: The BROADCAST_DRIVER
, CACHE_DRIVER
, and DATABASE_URL
environment variables were renamed in Laravel 11 to BROADCAST_CONNECTION
, CACHE_STORE
, and DB_URL
, respectively.
Shift automated this change for your committed files, but you should review any additional locations where your environment is configured and update to the new variable names.
:x: Shift detected you are using laravelcollective/html
. This package has been abandoned. They suggest using the spatie/laravel-html
package instead. You may use Shift's HTML Converter to automate this conversion. However, if you are not using the laravelcollective/html
package extensively, you may simply rewrite its uses to raw HTML.
:information_source: Shift updated your dependencies for Laravel 11. While many of the popular packages are reviewed, you may have to update additional packages in order for your application to be compatible with Laravel 11. Watch dealing with dependencies for tips on handling any Composer issues.
:information_source: Shift detected your application has a test suite. To allow your to verify the upgrade in isolation, Shift did not bump your testing dependencies for PHPUnit 10. Once you have completed your upgrade, you may run the PHPUnit 10 Shift for free to upgrade your test suite to PHPUnit 10 separately.
:information_source: Starting with Laravel 10, PHP type hints were added within classes included in a Laravel application. In an effort to modernize your code, Shift automated this change where Laravel strictly specifies a type. If you prefer not to type hint your code you may revert this commit by running: git revert 5a0e6e2a
:information_source: The base Controller
class has been marked as abstract
in Laravel 11, with its traits and inheritance removed. This is to prevent using this base controller directly and to use facades instead of the trait methods.
Shift detected your base controller did not have any public methods, so it was safe to mark as abstract
. However, since you may be using trait methods within your controllers, Shift did not remove them. If you know you are not using any trait methods or want to refactor to facades, you may remove them manually.
:warning: Laravel 11 has removed its dependency on doctrine/dbal
. Shift detected your project contains this dependency. If you are not using this package directly or were only using it for change migrations, you may remove it by running: composer remove doctrine/dbal
:information_source: Laravel 11 now updates the timestamp when publishing vendor migrations. This may cause problems in existing applications when these migrations were previously published and ran with their default timestamp.
To preserve the original behavior, Shift disabled this feature in your database.php
configuration file. If you do not have any vendor migrations or have squashed all of your existing migrations, you may re-enable the update_date_on_publish
option. If this is the only customization within database.php
, you may remove this configuration file.
:warning: Previously, Laravel would append a colon (:
) to any cache key prefix for DynamoDB, Memcache, or Redis. Laravel 11 no longer appends a colon to your cache key prefix. If you are using one of these stores, you should append a colon to your prefix to avoid invalidating your cache.
:information_source: All of the underlying Symfony components used by Laravel have been upgraded to Symfony 7.0. Shift detected references to Symfony classes within your application. These are most likely type hints and can safely be ignored. If you are using Symfony classes directly or experience issues relating to Symfony, you should review the Symfony change log for any additional changes.
:warning: Laravel 11 requires PHP 8.2 or higher. You should verify the PHP version in your environments to ensure it meets this new requirement.
:warning: Laravel 11 now includes a database driver for MariaDB. Previously the MySQL driver offered parity with MariaDB. However, with MariaDB 10.1, there are more database specific features available. If you are using MariaDB, you may want to evaluate this new mariadb
driver after completing your upgrade to Laravel 11.
:tada: Congratulations, you're now running the latest version of Laravel!
