What's New
Jobs Can React to Worker Signals
Queued jobs can now implement the Interruptible interface to respond when a worker receives a signal like SIGTERM. This lets long-running jobs clean up or set a stop flag before the worker exits:
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\Interruptible;use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;use Illuminate\Foundation\Queue\Queueable; class ReportJob implements ShouldQueue, Interruptible{ use Queueable; protected bool $stop = false; public function handle(): void { while (! $this->stop) { // do work... } } public function interrupted(int $signal): void { $this->stop = true; }}PR: #59833
New @fonts Blade Directive and Vite Font Optimization
This release adds a new @fonts Blade directive and Vite::fonts() method for rendering font preload links and inline styles. The feature reads font manifests generated by the Vite plugin and supports selective family loading.
Basic usage in your layout:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head> @fonts @vite('resources/js/app.js')</head><body> {{ $slot }}</body></html>This renders preload <link> tags and an inline <style> block with all @font-face rules and CSS variables from the font manifest.
You can also filter to load only specific font families:
{{-- Load a single family --}}@fonts('sans') {{-- Load multiple families --}}@fonts(['sans', 'mono'])PR: #59584
Bulk JSON Path Assertions in TestResponse
The testing layer now includes assertJsonPaths() and assertJsonMissingPaths() methods for asserting multiple JSON values at once.
Before:
$response->assertJsonPath('data.id', 1) ->assertJsonPath('data.name', 'Taylor') ->assertJsonPath('meta.count', 3);After:
$response->assertJsonPaths([ 'data.id' => 1, 'data.name' => 'Taylor', 'meta.count' => 3,]);The companion assertJsonMissingPaths() method works the same way for asserting absent keys:
$response->assertJsonMissingPaths(['password', 'secret_token']);PR: #59829
SortDirection Enum Support for Collections
Collections and the Arr class now support the SortDirection enum for specifying sort order, providing better type safety when sorting:
use SortDirection; $sorted = $collection->sortBy('name', descending: SortDirection::Descending);PR: #59859
Introducing WorkerInterrupted Event
A new WorkerInterrupted event is dispatched when a worker receives a signal, before it stops. This is useful for observability — you can log, alert, or call an external service when a signal arrives, even if the individual job doesn't implement Interruptible.

isLocked Method Added to Lock Class
The Lock class now includes an isLocked() method to check the current lock status.
PR: #59791
Enum Support for LazyCollection keyBy()
LazyCollection::keyBy() now accepts a BackedEnum, matching the behavior already available in Collection. Previously, passing an enum would throw an error when attempting to convert it to a string.
PR: #59809
Miscellaneous Fixes and Improvements
This update includes enum support improvements across ConcurrencyManager, QueueManager, LogManager, SessionManager, and RedisManager. Various docblock improvements, type corrections, and bug fixes from community contributors are also included.
