Laravel 5?

Yep! https://twitter.com/laravelphp/status/510098775553998848

Taylor finally announced that 4.3 won't be the next release. The updates are substantial enough to warrant a bump to 5.0. Everything still applies.

i started new project while it was 4.3. what kind of updates i have to do, so i would not break anything down.

@keevitaja 4.3 and 5 are exactly the same, the 'version' number has changed because there are way too many changes. So if you update your composer everything should be the same

yeah, do i just change the version number in composer and that's it?

You don't have to do anything right now.

i can't do composer update anymore:

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for laravel/framework 4.3.* -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[4.3.x-dev].
    - illuminate/html dev-master requires illuminate/support ~5.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[5.0.x-dev], illuminate/support[5.0.x-dev].
    - remove illuminate/html 4.3.x-dev|keep illuminate/html dev-master
    - don't install laravel/framework 5.0.x-dev|remove laravel/framework 4.3.x-dev
    - don't install illuminate/support 5.0.x-dev|remove laravel/framework 4.3.x-dev
    - Installation request for illuminate/html 4.3.* -> satisfiable by illuminate/html[4.3.x-dev].

should i change laravel version to 5 in composer?

edit: tried to switch the laravel version... didn't help. so do i have to make a fresh installation of laravel 5 and move my stuff over one be one?

I can't connect to the homestead database to do migrations. Anyone else had this issue?

Connection to database Laravel 5 @JeffreyWay any ideas to my above post

@keevitaja, you need to change "laravel/framework": "~4.3.*" to "laravel/framework": "~5.0" in composer.json

Still cannot connect to the DB even after inputting my details in both the main database.php file and the local one.

Anyone else experienced this and how did you fix?

@Istables, are you SSH'd in to your vagrant box? You won't be able to do it from the normal terminal

Trying to connect to Homestead via Sequel Pro, which I can normaly do with 4.2.8 but with this new 5.0 version seems to be I can't connect.

I managed to migrate via SSH on the vagrant box, so yeah i can live with that thanks @Mort

@Istables, did you enter the custom port number? When connecting via Sequel Pro on your primary workstation (desktop/laptop) you will want to enter port 33060

To connect to your MySQL or Postgres database from your main
machine via Navicat or Sequel Pro, you should connect to 127.0.0.1
and port 33060 (MySQL) or 54320 (Postgres). The username and
password for both databases is homestead / secret.
