:information_source: Laravel 7 upgraded to Symfony 5 which passes instances of the Throwable
interface instead of Exception
instances to core components like the Exceptions\Handler
.
Shift automated this change. However, if you receive a Throwable
type mismatch error there may be additional references you need to convert.
:information_source: Laravel 7 moved the Authentication components into a separate laravel/ui
package, which includes the make commands as well as the traits related to authentication.
Shift added this dependency for convenience. However, if you do not plan to use the Authentication components, you may remove this dependency as well as the Auth
controllers from your application.
:warning: The MAIL_DRIVER
environment variable was renamed in Laravel 7 to MAIL_MAILER
in order to support multiple mail configurations.
Shift attempted to automation this change, but you should review any additional environment configuration and update to the new variable name.
:information_source: Shift updated your dependencies for Laravel 7. 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 7.
Watch dealing with dependencies for tips on handling package incompatibilities.
:information_source: Laravel 7 removed some of the PHPUnit configuration in favor of the defaults. While this is not a required changed, it is a good opportunity to compare your phpunit.xml
with the default Laravel 7 version to modernize your configuration.
:warning: In Laravel 7, all of the assertSee
methods now automatically escape the expected values.
If you were manually escaping the values passed to these methods, you no longer need do so. If you were asserting values containing HTML that should not be escaped, you may set the new escaped
argument to false
.
Shift found the instances of these assertions within:
:warning: Laravel 7 uses a new date format when serializing models. The previous format was 2019-12-02 20:01:00
. Now, dates are serialized using an ISO-8601 compatible date format of 2019-12-02T20:01:00.283041Z
in UTC
.
This does not affect how dates are stored. Only how they are serialized when using the toArray
or toJson
Eloquent methods.
If you need to preserve the previous format, you may override the serializeDate
method on your model. Review the Date Serialization section of the Upgrade Guide for more details.
:information_source: All of the underlying Symfony components used by Laravel have been upgraded to Symfony 5. If you are directly interacting with Symfony components, you should review the Symfony change log for additional changes.
:tada: Congratulations, you're now running the latest version of Laravel.
