Laravel v5.8.4 released

Optimized for PHP and beyond, the new Forge comes with instant provisioning via Laravel VPS, zero-downtime deployments, automated SSL, and a modern UI.

The Laravel MCP library enables you to build Model Context Protocols with ease, so your apps can meet users where they are and where they’ll be: AI chats.

All the highlights from Laracon 2025, including Laravel Cloud autoscaling, Forge upgrades, framework changes, and Nightwatch pricing.
