Laravel 7.0.8 Released

A few patch releases have been tagged since the release of Laravel 7 last week. Patch fixes are quite common at the beginning of a significant release as users start to upgrade and report issues.

The latest release is Laravel 7.0.8, which includes a new Mailable::when() method to conditionally run some code. Here’s the example from the pull request, which would call the closure when the first argument is true:

return $this->from('info@example.com')
    ->when($cv, function ($message) use ($cv) {
        $message->attach($cv->getRealPath(), [
            'as' => $cv->getClientOriginalName(),
            'mime' => $cv->getClientMimeType(),
        ]);
    })
    ->subject('Example subject')
    ->view('mail.example');

Laravel 7.0.6 added a queue suffix to the SQS driver configuration:

'suffix' => env('SQS_SUFFIX'),

Other than that, the other fixes are for things like method signatures and user-reported issues. I suggest 7.x users update to the latest to get all the latest improvements.

You can see the full list of new features and updates below and the whole diff between 7.0.0 and 7.0.8 on GitHub. The full release notes for Laravel 7.0.1 through 7.0.8 are available in the latest v7 changelog.
