3 Commits • 3 Features
Mar 1, 2026March 2026: Delivered key framework enhancements in laravel/framework that improve data integrity, reliability, and type safety. Key features include a strict integer validation option for Numeric validation to enhance validation accuracy; a retry mechanism enhanced to accept CarbonInterval for sleep timing, enabling more flexible retry schedules and added tests; and expanded enum support by enabling UnitEnum in framework attributes, replacing BackedEnum with stronger type safety. These changes provide tangible business value through more robust validation, resilient retry logic, and safer attribute handling across the framework.
