Mcrypt
I'm looking at the specs for the new version of Laravel and I noticed it does not mentioned that mcrypt is required anymore. It looks like it uses OpenSSL instead. Is that correct? Here is what I am looking at.

I know it seems pretty clear, but I want to be sure before I buy hosting if we can't use Forge.

Server requirements do not state that anymore.

I'm a little confused about this too. I've installed Laravel with composer on a box with the new requirements and I'm still getting that 'Mcrypt extension required' message.

@gpspake What version of Laravel do you use?
Laravel 5.1 does not need it: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/installation#installation
Laravel 4.2 does need it: http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/installation#server-requirements

@bobbybouwmann, Thanks. It was a dumb mistake. I had just installed 4.2. Updating to 5.1 fixed the problem.
