Laravel Homestead 2.0

Published

Laravel released version 2.0 of Homestead. Matt Stauffer has a new post covering all the details. Give it a read to find out all the new goodies.

The two big features I am most excited about is the new databases option, which automatically creates the named databases in both MySQL and Postgres. The second is a new “after.sh” file which allows you to fully customize the box from your own sh commands.

Update – Laracasts has updated their Homestead video showing you all the goodies.
