Hi Robin,

Can you share your plans for php-laravel-framework for the upcoming
Forky release? Looking at the Support Policy, it looks like 13.x is
currently a good candidate, maybe 14.x will even be better, if the
dependencies are possible.

https://laravel.com/framework/docs/releases#support-policy

A quick look showed that Symfony 7.4 (the currently targeted version
aimed for Forky) is supported by Larvel 13.x. I haven’t look further,
but feel free to point any blocker about it.

My initial take was to figure out what are the current blockers for
Guzzle 8, and it *seems* Laravel is the only one so far, so I’m also
selfishly interested in your timetable ;). Please, do share if you want
help upgrading packages or introduce new packages for this transition.

Regards,

taffit

Hi David,

I agree, 13.x at least.

I'd *guess* that 14.x will be released before Forky and would have the
best upstream support throughout the cycle, but it will probably require
Symfony 8 and thus be incompatible for us.

Thanks for flagging that. I'll map out the work needed for Laravel 13
next week (if time allows) and share a plan. If it's substantial I'll
ask the team for help to get you unblocked faster.

Seems it's not much. Looks like only three dependency packages to update
and no new ones. Then the Laravel package itself.

I've just uploaded two of them. php-brick-math and php-laravel-framework
remain. I'll try to find time for that in the next couple of weekends.
Feel free to do it before me if it's blocking you though.
