News February 8th, 2022 laravel9.png Laravel 9 is now released and includes many new features, including a minimum PHP v8.0 version, controller route groups, a refreshed default Ignition error page, Laravel Scout database engine, Symfony mailer integration, Flysystem 3.x, Improved Eloquent accessors/ mutators, and many more features. Before we jump into the new features, we'd like to point out that starting with Laravel 9, Laravel will release a new major version about every twelve months instead of the previous six-month schedule: Laravel uses a variety of community-driven packages as well as nine Symfony components for a number of features within the framework. Symfony 6.0 is due for release in November. For that reason, we are choosing to delay the Laravel 9.0 release until 2022. By delaying the release, we can upgrade our underlying Symfony components to Symfony 6.0 without being forced to wait until September 2022 to perform this upgrade. In addition, this better positions us for future releases as our yearly releases will always take place two months after Symfony's releases. From the releases support policy documentation, here's what you can expect going forward with tentative dates of upcoming releases: Version PHP (*) Release Bug Fixes Until Security Fixes Until 6 (LTS) 7.2 - September 3rd, January 25th, September 6th, 8.0 2019 2022 2022 7 7.2 - March 3rd, 2020 October 6th, March 3rd, 2021 8.0 2020 8 7.3 - September 8th, July 26th, 2022 January 24th, 8.1 2020 2023 9 (LTS) 8.0 - February 8th, February 8th, February 8th, 8.1 2022 2024 2025 10 8.0 - February 7th, August 7th, 2024 February 7th, 8.1 2023 2025 Laravel 9 is the next long-term support version (LTS) and will receive bug fixes until February 2024 and security fixes until February 2025.
