Laravel 6.0 Is the New LTS

Semantic Versioning

The Laravel framework (laravel/framework) package now follows the semantic versioning standard. This makes the framework consistent with the other first-party Laravel packages which already followed this versioning standard. The Laravel release cycle will remain unchanged.

Improved Authorization Responses

$response = Gate::inspect('view', $flight);

if ($response->allowed()) {
    // User is authorized to view the flight...
}

if ($response->denied()) {
    echo $response->message();
}

Job Middleware

// Add a middleware method to a job class
public function middleware()
{
     return [new SomeMiddleware];
}

// Specify middleware when dispatching a job
SomeJob::dispatch()->through([new SomeMiddleware]);

Lazy Collections

Eloquent Subquery Enhancements

• Argon2d maximizes resistance to GPU cracking attacks.

• Argon2i is optimized to resist side-channel attacks. It accesses the memory array in a password independent order.

• Argon2id is a hybrid version. It follows the Argon2i approach for the first pass over memory and the Argon2d approach for subsequent passes.

Touching Models

$ php artisan tinker

>>> $article = \App\Article::first();
=> App\Article {#746
     id: 1,
     title: "Hello World",
     body: "The Body",
     created_at: "2018-01-11 05:16:51",
     updated_at: "2018-01-11 05:51:07",
   }
>>> $article->updated_at->timestamp
=> 1515649867
>>> $article->touch();
=> true
>>> $article->updated_at->timestamp
=> 1515650910

<?php

namespace App;

use App\Article;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Comment extends Model
{
    protected $guarded = [];

    protected $touches = ['article'];

    public function article()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Article::class);
    }
}

The Cached Attribute

public function getCachedCommentsCountAttribute()
{
    return Cache::remember($this->cacheKey() . ':comments_count', 15, function () {
        return $this->comments->count();
    });
}

public function cacheKey()
{
    return sprintf(
        "%s/%s-%s",
        $this->getTable(),
        $this->getKey(),
        $this->updated_at->timestamp
    );
}
