@ronanh you're looking at the wrong repo, laravel/laravel is a repo for application skeleton, you should look at laravel/framework: https://github.com/laravel/framework/releases

Laravel 6 LTS
Hi,
I want to use an LTS version of Laravel and i see that version 6 is LTS. From reading the documentation it seems that all versions of Laravel 6 follow Semantic Versioning/Semver. However if i look at the GitHub releases for version 6 it looks like there are changes that would potentially break existing code e.g. v 6.8.0 has the following change "Rename encrypted to forceTLS for Pusher (#5159)". To get an LTS version do i need to stick to version 6.0.* so that i just get security patches or will changes like the one i mentioned not be code breaking in which case i can use ^6.0?

Thanks!

Go here https://github.com/laravel/laravel/releases
Download v6.18.0
That is laravel
Then run composer install, that installs the framework.
That's all there is to it.
When updating or upgrading Always make sure a laravel version matches a correct framework version.
That can be seen inside of composer.json.
It is really just that easy.
You should never need to download framework, composer installs that.

Thanks guys. I was confusing the laravel/laravel web skeleton framework with the actual core laravel/framework.
