Taylor Otwell's keynote delivered a flood of announcements: Laravel LSP , the official language server bringing Laravel-aware autocomplete to every editor, CPX 2.0 (PHP finally gets its npx!), and a big Cloud push with scale-to-zero across the whole stack and Next.js/Nuxt deployments. To top it all off, Nuno dropped Pest 5 on stage, with its Test Impact Analysis engine that took Laravel Cloud's suite from 3 minutes to 5 seconds. Yes, you read that right. It's a packed issue — enjoy, and happy coding 💻 — Fred 🚀 Framework & Releases Everything Announced at Laracon US 2026 Published July 29, 2026 — Laravel Blog Taylor Otwell's keynote covered a lot of ground. On the framework side: Laravel LSP, Blade support in Pint, the artisan dev command, debounced jobs, refreshable locks, and the head tag API. On the Cloud side: scale-to-zero Flex (your whole stack, MySQL included, wakes in under 500 ms), managed queues that scale to zero, a secrets manager, and Next.js/Nuxt deployments from the same repo. » Read the article Laravel LSP — Laravel intelligence in any editor Published July 28, 2026 — Laravel News Announced on stage at Laracon US, Laravel LSP is a first-party language server that generalizes the VS Code extension's features to any LSP-capable editor: completions for routes, views, translations, config keys and container bindings, plus hover, diagnostics, and go-to definition. One-line install with composer global require laravel/lsp — NeoVim, Zed, Sublime Text, Cursor, and even OpenCode are supported. » Read the article Pest 5 — Test Impact Analysis, agent plugin, and evals Published July 29, 2026 — Laravel News Nuno Maduro announced Pest 5 on stage in Boston, tagging v5.0.0 during the conference. Highlights: the TIA engine that only re-runs tests affected by your changes (Laravel Cloud's 19,000+ test suite went from 3 minutes to 5 seconds), an agent plugin giving AI one command to verify its changes, an evals plugin scoring LLM output through expect(), plus first-party PHPStan and Rector plugins. Requires PHP 8.4 and PHPUnit 13. » Read the article Laravel 13.23.0 — monthly log driver, SES tenants, using() for PostgreSQL Released July 27, 2026 This release adds a monthly log driver (one file per month, sitting between single and daily), X-SES-TENANT-NAME header support for isolating SES sending reputation in the v2 transport, a ->using() clause on ->change() migrations for PostgreSQL, and a timing-safe comparison for the maintenance mode bypass secret. » View release note Livewire v4.3.4 — Fixes and a renderless wire:model Released July 31, 2026 Livewire 4 keeps rolling out fixes: stale reactive snapshots on overlapping wire:model.live requests, validateOnly() retaining previous field messages, HTTP redirects misparsed as Livewire payloads, and a new renderless wire:model for binding a property without rendering an element. » View release note 📦 Packages & Plugins CPX 2.0 — The npx for PHP, rebuilt by Laravel Published July 31, 2026 CPX is to Composer what npx is to npm: run a command from any Composer package without adding it to your composer.json. Version 2.0, now a first-party laravel/cpx package, prefers your project's local binary when it exists, supports personal aliases, running PHP files straight from a GitHub gist, and returns JSON when an AI agent is driving it. » Read the article Queue-SQL — Mass writes across parallel queue jobs Published July 29, 2026 By Kamran Atayev, Queue-SQL turns mass UPDATE and DELETE statements into batches of parallel queued jobs: it slices your primary key range into bounded chunks and dispatches a Bus::Batch with then, catch, finally, throttling, and CLI monitoring (queue-sql:status --watch). Perfect for backfills without locking your database for minutes. » Read the article 📘 Articles & Tutorials Laravel AI SDK: Human-in-the-loop approval for agents Published July 30, 2026 — Laravel News Agents built with the Laravel AI SDK can now pause before acting: the new human-in-the-loop (HITL) API intercepts specific tool calls and waits for a decision — approve, deny, or modify — before an agent executes a sensitive action. Bonus: built-in filesystem tools, a zero-config Str::summarize(), and multimodal embeddings for images and audio. » Read the article 🎥 Videos & Talks Laracon US 2026: The keynotes, replayed *Broadcast July 28-29, 2026 — YouTube Missed the conference?
