Laravel Valet v2.0.3 is now released and includes several bug fixes and includes the addition of PHP 7.1.

I was running Valet v1 when I just performed the upgrade and before I could get PHP 7.1 support I had to delete it through Brew. Here is the list of steps:

valet stop
valet uninstall
composer global require laravel/valet
brew uninstall --force php70
valet install
valet restart

After these ran, I was all up to date with the latest version and running the latest PHP. If you are already on Valet 2.0, you may just need to update the underlying global Composer package.

This release also addresses other bug fixes including:

  • Query String Fixes
  • Adds client_max_body_size to the valet config file for easier changing.
  • Fixes and improvements to the driver for CraftCMS

Editors Note: Some are reporting you do not have to uninstall first. Just unlink brew uninstall php70.
