It hasn't been released yet, that's why the dev version shows up

[devcircus]

And the default minimum-stability for composer.json is "stable", so composer will not allow the installation.

[vbasky]

Does that mean I can't upgrade to 5.7 at the moment?

[devcircus]

You just have to explicitly tell composer to allow the dev version. I think "5.7.*@dev" should work.

[devcircus]

If not, set the minimum stability to "dev" in your composer.json

[vbasky]

Voyager tcg/voyager scoffs at 5.7.0 saying its still not supported when added the dev flag, nonetheless 5.7 was supposed to released at the Laracon US happening now isn't it ?

[wilburpowery]

I think you can expect 5.7 to be released tomorrow. Today is a holiday in the US.

There have previously also been questions and misunderstandings about the Laravel releases' timeline. You can probably expect it to be released at the end of August, at Laracon EU.

Going to github.com/laravel/framework/releases should always be able to answer the question "Has X version been released yet."
