Global Default Options for the HTTP Client

The ability to configure global default options for the HTTP client via a service provider:

Http::globalOptions([
    'timeout' => 5,
    'connect_timeout' => 2,
]);

If you call the globalOptions method more than once, it will override the original global configuration on subsequent calls.

String Unwrap Helper

Str::unwrap() method which you can use to unwrap strings:

// Unquote
Str::unwrap('"Unquote"', '"');
// `Unquote`

// some: "json"
Str::unwrap('{ some: "json" }', '{', '}');
// ` some: "json" `

Add Multiple Channels/Routes to at Once

The ability to configure multiple routes at once for on-demand notifications:

NotificationFacade::routes([
        'mail' => ['info@test.local' => 'Test Customer'],
          'vonage' => '+916352410935',
])->notify(new OrderStatusChanged($order));

New JobQueueing Event

A JobQueueing event to the framework that is fired before a job is sent to the queue provider. Here’s a rough example of where this event is instantiated, which includes the $connectionName, $job, and $payload:

use Illuminate\Queue\Events\JobQueueing;

new JobQueueing($this->connectionName, $job, $payload));

Max Validation Rule for Passwords

Max length validation rule to the Password rule object. This is useful when defining a default password rule:

// Before
Password::min(8)->rules('max:32');

// New max() method
Password::min(8)->max(32);
