Question #358

Hi,

Can't tell you enough how awesome your work and packages are!

My question about blender is how do you keep it updated with each new release of Laravel, whether it's a big update like v5.3 to v5.4 but also the smaller ones in each big release? Do you merge the Laravel release into blender? Or maybe do it manually?

Thanks!

The smaller ones (patch releases like 5.3.1 => 5.3.2) only need a composer update to pull in the latest version of the framework. Changes in laravel/laravel generally don't need immediate attention, since that repository is essentially a boilerplate.

For major versions, we've been happy Laravel Shift customers lately (see #181 for the latest update). The trend seems to be that Laravel upgrades are becoming easier with the release though, so for 5.5 we might not even need to use Shift!

Hope that answers your question :)
