Laravel 5.7.25 Released

The Laravel team released Laravel 5.7.25 yesterday with translations for relative date validation messages and computed column support for MSSQL schemas.

First, when you define a relative date validation, such as date_equals:tomorrow. When the date is relative, now it is translatable:

// fr/validation.php
'values' => [
    'date' => [
        'tomorrow' => 'demain',
    ],
],

The above might return a validation error message like the following with the 5.7.25 release:

Le champ date doit être une date égale à demain.

Next, computed column support was added to the MSSQL grammar (for SQL Server 2016+). Here’s an example from the tests:

// alter table "products" add "price" int not null, "discounted_virtual" as (price - 5), "discounted_stored" as (price - 5) persisted
$blueprint = new Blueprint('products');
$blueprint->integer('price');
$blueprint->computed('discounted_virtual', 'price - 5');
$blueprint->computed('discounted_stored', 'price - 5')->persisted();
