Laravel 12 is Now ReleasedLaravel 12 is now released, introducing new starter kits for React, Vue, and Livewire, and updating the latest upstream dependencies. The core of the Laravel framework this year is focused on maintenence, updating upstream dependencies, and delivering brand new starter kits:
This is primarily a maintenance focused release that updates upstream dependencies and has minimal breaking changes or major few features.
Because of that, the vast majority of applications will be able to upgrade with no changes to your application's code.As more and more applications are built with Laravel, we're focusing on shipping new features continually throughout the year without breaking changes, with our yearly releases being utilized to update dependencies or address new PHP version compatibility.
We've seen many steller features in Laravel 11 Releases this year, and will continue to see regular updates to Laravel 12 as this year unfolds.
Introducing New Starter KitsLaravel 12 includes new starter kits, including React, Vue, or Livewire support. These will include Shadcn components, and for the Livewire stack, there is the option for a free version of Flux components. In addition, each starter kit offers a WorkOS AuthKit variant:
- Social authentication
- Passkey authentation
- Email-based auth
- SSO with WorkOS
You can learn more about using the new starter kits in the documentation.
