Modernized Email Template in Laravel 12.41

The Laravel team released version 12.41, featuring an updated modern email template, new duration helpers for milliseconds, weeks, and months, a reload command for services during deployment, and more.

#Modernize Email Template

Taylor Otwell updated Laravel's default email template to a more modern version:

See Pull Request #57987 for implementation details.

#Duration Helpers for Milliseconds, Weeks, and Months

Sander Muller contributed duration helpers for milliseconds(), weeks(), and months(), building onto the introduction of duration helpers in Laravel 12.40:

use function Illuminate\Support\{seconds, minutes, hours, days, years, milliseconds, weeks, months};
 
milliseconds(10);
weeks(4);
months(72);
 
// returns Carbon\CarbonInterval
 
// Existing duration helpers released in Laravel 12.40
seconds(5);
minutes(5);
hours(1);
days(30);
years(1);

#Add throwUnless Method to HTTP Client Response

Cas Ebbers contributed a throwUnless() method to the HTTP client Response class:

use Illuminate\Http\Client\Response;
 
// Throw an exception if an error occurred and the given condition is false...
$response->throwUnless($condition);
 
// Throw an exception if an error occurred and the given closure resolves to false...
$response->throwUnless(fn (Response $response) => false);

The throwUnless() method was previously documented; however, it was only implemented in PendingRequest. See Pull Request #57951 for details.

#Add Reload Command and Allow Services to Register

Barry vd. Heuvel contributed a reload Artisan command and the ability for service providers to add their own commands. It allows services to have a single command to add their deployment steps after a deployment is completed:

public function boot()
{
    $this->reloads('reverb:restart');
}

See Pull Request #57923 for details.
