Next, this release brings two new methods to the task scheduler,
pingBeforeIf and thenPingIf to conditionally ping before or after a task respectively:

$schedule->command('something')
    ->everyMinute()
    ->pingBeforeIf(app()->environment('production'), $url)
    ->thenPingIf(app()->environment('production'), $url);

Last, the MorphTo relationship now supports withDefault() that is returned if the relationship is null.
