Laravel Open Source Changelog (July 2025)

New updates and improvements to Laravel's open source products.

Laravel Framework 12.x

Added Verbose Output for queue:work

Pull requests by @seriquynh & @amirhshokri

php artisan queue:work --verbose
// App\Jobs\UrgentAction 85 high
// App\Jobs\NormalAction 84 default

With --verbose, you’ll now see queue names alongside each job and job ID, making multi-queue debugging straightforward and saving you time when tracing issues.

Uri Implements JsonSerializable

Pull request by @devajmeireles

echo json_encode(new Uri('/path?x=1'));
// "http://localhost:8000/path?x=1"

This release fixes a serialization bug, properly converting the URI to a string when serializing a larger JSON object that contains the URI as a value.

Added doesntStartWith() & doesntEndWith()  Str Methods

Pull request by @balboacodes

str('apple')->doesntStartWith('b'); // true
str('apple')->doesntEndWith('e'); // false

The inverse of startsWith/endsWith, these new methods allow you to fluently test for starting and ending characters in your string.

Closure Support in pluck()

Pull request by @ralphjsmit

$users->pluck(fn($u) => $u->email, fn($u) => strtoupper($u->name));

You can now dynamically generate keys and values via callbacks. Instead of mapping then plucking, you get a single, flexible method that reduces steps and keeps intent clear.

Pint

Added --parallel Option

Pull request by @nunomaduro

./vendor/bin/pint --parallel

By leveraging PHP CS Fixer’s parallel runner, Pint now formats files concurrently. On large codebases that once took minutes, you’ll see results in seconds, speeding up both local workflows and CI pipelines for a clear quality of life win.

Telescope

Migrated to Vite

Pull request by @nckrtl

Telescope’s frontend now uses Vite instead of Mix. Asset builds finish faster, hot-reloads are more reliable, and you benefit from a modern toolchain without changing your workflow.

Octane

FrankenPHP’s File Watcher

Pull request by @kohenkatz

Octane now relies on FrankenPHP’s native file watcher for reloading the server on file changes. This removes the NodeJS dependency and eases the local development process significantly.

Inertia

Reset Form State and Clear Errors with a Single Method

Pull request by @pascalbaljet

const form = useForm({ name: "", email: "" });

// Instead of:
form.reset();
form.clearErrors();

// You can now:
form.resetAndClearErrors();

You can now concisely reset all fields and errors in one go, bringing your form back to square one.

Prevent Minifying JavaScript Builds and Test Apps

Pull request by @pascalbaljet

Inertia no longer distributes minified builds, aligning it with the strategy of other popular libraries. This makes debugging more straightforward and allows for local patching if the need arises.
