The Laravel team released v5.8.29 which includes a few new features, performance improvement to MorphTo relationships, and a few bug fixes.
A notable new feature in this release is a new feature to pass an array of columns to whereNull and whereNotNull. Here is how you would have to write these before.
$query->whereNull('id')->whereNull('expires_at');
$query->whereNotNull('id')->whereNotNull('expires_at');
This can be simplified into:
$query->whereNull(['id', 'expires_at']);
$query->whereNotNull(['id', 'expires_at']);
