:x: Shift could not upgrade the following configuration files since they differed from the default Laravel version. You will need to compare these configuration files against the Laravel 5.8 configuration files and merge any changes:

• [x] config/app.php
• [x] config/mail.php
• [x] config/services.php

:warning: Laravel 5.8 introduced a set of AWS environment variables to help consolidate configuring the various AWS services. You should rename the following native environment variables to their new names. While you don't have to rename any custom environment variables you created for AWS services, you should consider following the new naming convention.

• SQS_KEY to AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• SQS_SECRET to AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• SQS_REGION to AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
• SES_KEY to AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• SES_SECRET to AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• SES_REGION to AWS_DEFAULT_REGION

:x: Laravel 5.8 has a dependency for php of ^7.1.3. You have a modified dependency for php in your composer.json. You should review your dependency and ensure it meets the new version requirement.

:warning: Laravel 5.8 changed several of the core contracts with new implementations and methods. You should review the Upgrade Guide for more detail on these respective changes:

:information_source: Laravel 5.8 changed the minimum requirement for password length from 6 characters to 8 character. While this change is not required, you should consider this opportunity to review the password policy for your application.

:warning: If you are using JSON values in your MySQL or MariaDB tables, the query builder now returns unquoted JSON values in Laravel 5.8.

:warning: If you are using SQLite, the oldest supported version in Laravel 5.8 is SQLite 3.7.11. Laravel recommends running SQLite 3.8.8 or higher.

:warning: The Nexmo and Slack notification channels have been extracted into first-party packages. To use these channels in your application, run the following command to require the respective packages:

composer require laravel/nexmo-notification-channel
composer require laravel/slack-notification-channel

:warning: Laravel 5.8 correctly pluralizes multi-word model names ending in a word with an irregular pluralization. For example, Laravel 5.7 incorrectly pluralized the table name for the UserFeedback model as user_feedbacks. Laravel 5.8 correctly pluralizes this table name as user_feedback.

If you were relying on this irregular pluralization, you should rename your table name or set the $table property for your model. If you were overriding this behavior by setting the $table property, you may remove it and now rely on the framework.

:information_source: Shift noticed you have additional namespaces in your project. You should consider using the Consolidate Namespaces Shift to simplify your namespaces into the default Laravel App namespace.
