Today at Laracon EU, Taylor announced that Laravel 12 will be launched on February 24th, 2025. This is also the first major version that will have zero-breaking changes. Some of the things you can look forward to with the release include:

New Starter Kits

The new starter kits will include options for a blank slate or picking your desired tech stack with React, Vue, or Livewire.

These will include Shadcn components, and for the Livewire stack, there is the option for a free version of Flux components.

So far, we know each starter kit will be pulled in from separate Github repos and installed directly into your app. This will allow you complete control over all the code instead of being hidden inside your vendor like a package.

Updating to Laravel 12

Laravel 12 will not contain breaking changes but now is the time to upgrade if you are not on Laravel 11 yet. We recommend Laravel Shift as the best way of doing it automatically, and then you'll be ready for this release.
