What's New

Docker Support

This release adds Docker support to the Laravel VS Code Extension, allowing developers to work with Laravel projects running in Docker containers.

PR: #537

DDEV Environment Support

Fixed an issue where Pint (Laravel's code formatter) was not working correctly in DDEV environments. This improvement ensures that developers using DDEV for local Laravel development can now use Pint formatting without issues.

PR: #536

Configurable Artisan Make Commands

Added a new configuration option that allows developers to disable artisan make commands in both the VS Code explorer context menu and command palette. This provides more control over the extension's interface and helps reduce clutter for teams that prefer alternative workflows.

PR: #530

Enhanced Markdown Hover Links for Scopes

Improved the hover experience by adding Markdown hover links for scopes, providing better documentation and navigation capabilities directly within the editor.

PR: #527

Laravel Attributes Support

Added support for Laravel attributes, ensuring the extension can properly recognize and work with Laravel's attribute-based functionality introduced in recent framework versions.

PR: #542

Parser Updates

Updated the internal parser to version 0.1.44, bringing various improvements and bug fixes to the extension's code analysis capabilities.

PR: #543
