:alembic: Using this package? If you would like to help test these changes or believe them to be compatible, you may update your project to reference this branch.

To do so, temporarily add Shift's fork to the repositories property of your composer.json:

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/laravel-shift/laravel-mandrill-driver.git"
        }
    ]
}

Then update your dependency constraint to reference this branch:

{
    "require": {
        "therobfonz/laravel-mandrill-driver": "dev-l9-compatibility",
    }
}

Finally, run: composer update

Laravel 9 is no longer using swift mailer, but this package relies on it.

@ankurk91, are you saying this package will not support Laravel 9, or that there is more work to do?

[therobfonz]

@jasonmccreary Yeah, there needs to be an upgrade because the underlying mailer has changed.

I actually am looking for someone who wants to take care of this repository because I haven't used Mandrill in 2 years. Going to see if we want to move it under the Kirschbaum organization to maintain.

[jasonmccreary]

@therobfonz, gotcha. This really just bumps the dependencies. But let me know if I can help run some other automation around the Symfony Mailer. We do have that in the Laravel 9.x Shift.

[jcanepa]

@therobfonz @jasonmccreary FWIW I'd appreciate someone upgrading the underlying mailer. Thank you both for your contributions.

[brandonferens]

We have merged PR #28 for the Laravel 9 upgrade which address the underlying Symfony Mail change.
