The release of Laravel
11 and Laravel
Reverb will happen on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. Along with major
updates to Laravel, we'll get a new welcome page when creating a
new Laravel application with laravel new
or
composer.
I thought it would be fun to see how the welcome page has evolved over previous versions of Laravel. Whether you are new to the framework or have been around a while, there's something special about creating a new Laravel project and seeing that welcome screen!
Laravel 11 will feature a light and dark theme, which looks gorgeous and inviting. It has a vibrant background, clean icons, and a welcoming feel that inspires creativity:
It's hard to believe that Laravel 10 was released a year ago on February 14, 2023. Over the last year, we've received countless amazing new features and quality-of-life updates. Here's what the welcome page looks like with a fresh Laravel 10 installation:
Notably, the Laravel logo is centered and is only the logo mark. Laravel 9 and 8 had a left-aligned logo + Laravel text mark:
The welcome page featured in Laravel 8 was the first time we saw a significant change since Laravel 5.x. Laravel 8 was released on September 8, 2020, during the period of time Laravel released a major version every six months:
Laravel's branding was technically updated around the Laravel 6 release. However, Laravel 8 was the first time the new logo was introduced on the welcome page. It featured four main areas/links: documentation, Laravel News, Laracasts, and prominent ecosystem links.
Between Laravel 6 and 7, we didn't see any significant changes
to the welcome page, but at some point in the 5.x
releases, the welcome page included links to documentation,
Laracasts, Laravel News, Forge, and GitHub:
Laravel 5.0's landing page had the words "Laravel 5" and
rendered a random inspiring quote using the Inspiring
facade:
<div class="content">
<div class="title">Laravel 5</div>
<div class="quote">{{ Inspiring::quote() }}</div>
</div>
Laravel 4.2 had a minimal welcome page featuring a nostalgic
logo (base64 image) and folder structure, which included this
hello.php
file, with the text, "You have arrived."

As Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg teased in a January blog post, our team at WordPress.com is working hard to enhance our developer experience. Improving what you see in your dashboard when you log into WordPress.com is one of our biggest goals.
Today, we’re excited to unveil a more powerful wp-admin experience (if you know, you know), which will soon be available to all sites on Creator and Entrepreneur plans. Read on to find out how to get early access.
For many years, the default view for WordPress.com users has been a modernized, more friendly version of the classic WordPress experience. Around the office, we call this interface “Calypso.” It offers sleek post/page management, easy profile edits, built-in tips and resources for starting or growing your site, and more.
While the Calypso interface is ideal for some folks, we’ve heard from a lot of developers that you’d prefer easy access to the classic WordPress dashboard experience. So, we’re doing just that by making it possible for wp-admin to be the default view when you log in.
Our mission here is to empower our power users—those on Creator and Entrepreneur plans—to leverage WordPress to its fullest. This update promises:
While this initial launch is for Creator and Entrepreneur subscribers, our commitment extends to all WordPress.com users. We’re excited about the possibility of expanding these features to everyone in the future.
To access the wp-admin interface you know and love, please join our email list below to be considered for early access.
And stay tuned for even more updates coming your way, including a few menu and navigation changes that you won’t want to miss.

Recently, at Treblle, we released a Visual Studio Code extension to work with our free developer tool, API Insights. After releasing this new tool, we wanted to look for ways developers building OpenAPI Specifications could benefit without stopping what they were doing.
So, for those who need to be made aware, API Insights is a free developer tool we created at Treblle that lets you get insights into your API design. It will score your OpenAPI Specification against:
The way this works is that we analyze your specification to understand what this API does. We then compare your API to a set of industry standards for APIs and see how close you are to having an "industry standard API".
However, we go a step further than just analyzing your specification; we send a request to the first endpoint that could be successful and measure load time and response size. We can analyze something similar to understand your API better.
The VS Code extension will allow you to analyze your specifications without leaving your editor. Even better, though, is that it will then watch this file for changes and prompt you to re-run the analysis if a change is detected.
We wrote about this new free tool in a little more detail on our blog and would love to hear your thoughts about the extension - also, what developer tool you would find helpful! You never know; we may build it.

The Laravel-Phone package makes working with phone numbers in PHP and Laravel a breeze, offering validation rules, attribute casting, utility helpers, and more.
Have you ever built validation around phone numbers that supports multiple countries? This package has helpful validation rules built in, which makes it easy to validate numbers for any country. You can specify acceptible country code formats, but at the same time accept valid "international" numbers:
// Validate either USA or Belguim
Validator::make($request->all(), [
'phone_number' => 'phone:US,BE',
]);
// Validate US specifically, but also accept other countries
Validator::make($request->all(), [
'phone_number' => 'phone:US,INTERNATIONAL',
]);
// Use the Phone rule
Validator::make($request->all(), [
'phone_number' => (new Phone)->country(['US', 'BE']),
]);
// Match country code against another data field
Validator::make($request->all(), [
'phone_number' => (new Phone)->countryField('custom_country_field'),
'custom_country_field' => 'required_with:phone_number',
]);
This package uses the PHP port of Google's phone number handling library under the hood, which has robust parsing, formatting, and validation capabilities for working with phone numbers in PHP:
// Formatting examples
$phone = new PhoneNumber('012/34.56.78', 'BE');
$phone->format($format); // Custom formatting
$phone->formatE164(); // +3212345678
$phone->formatInternational(); // +32 12 34 56 78
$phone->formatRFC3966(); // +32-12-34-56-78
$phone->formatNational(); // 012 34 56 78
You can learn more about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub. I recommend getting started with the readme for full documentation about this package.
