Laravel 10.39 with a round-robin mailer, dynamic max tries on queued jobs, and more

This week, the Laravel team released v10.39 with a round-robin mailer, dynamic max tries on queued jobs, and more. Here is a bit more info about the new features introduced in Laravel v10.39 this week:

Round-robin Mailer

Ahmed shamim contributed a new round-robin mailer transport driver that distributes the mailing workload across multiple transports:

Basically, failover transport driver is extended from the roundrobin transport driver class by only overriding the logic for selecting the next transport. But the use case is different for these two drivers. The failover driver helps to achieve High availability and roundrobin helps to achieve load-balancing.

Here's what the application configuration update looks like in your Laravel application's confi/mail.php file:

'roundrobin' => [
    'transport' => 'roundrobin',
    'mailers' => [
        'ses',
        'postmark',
    ],
],

This feature is documented in the official Mail documentation round robin configuration. Finally, you can learn more in Symfony's Mailer load balancing documentation and Pull Request #49435.

Dynamic Max Tries on Queued Jobs

@Di contributed the ability to define a dynamic maxTries for a queued job, similar to backoff(). Previously, you could define a dynamic value via the $tries property (which still takes precedence), but now you can define the method on your job:

class TestJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;

    // If the property is still defined, it precedes over the tries() method, 
    // providing the same behavior as the backoff definition 
    public $tries = 3;

    public function tries(): int
    {
        return config('test_job.retries'); // Example: Get the number of tries from config
    }
}

Release notes

You can see the complete list of new features and updates below and the diff between 10.38.0 and 10.39.0 on GitHub. The following release notes are directly from the changelog:

Octane Now Supports FrankenPHP Linux ARM Builds

Laravel Octane v2.2.6 was released yesterday with support for using aarch64 builds of FrankenPHP. This means you can use FrankenPHP's Octane integration on arm64 or Apple Silicon via Laravel Sail:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The Octane documentation was also updated with instructions on using FrankenPHP via Laravel Sail. Please note, that once you follow the instructions to update Laravel Sail's Supervisor configuration, you will need to rebuild your application image to start using FrankenPHP with Sail:

./vendor/bin/sail build --no-cache

FrankenPHP now supports Linux (x86_64 and aarch64) and macOS buils, and other systems should use Docker images or compile FrankenPHP manually. Octane will determine the server architecture needed to run Octane with FrankenPHP binaries, thanks to a contribution by @foremtehan to support the new aarch64 builds in Pull Request #793.

New Major Versions of Spatie Image and Laravel Media Library Released

Spatie released the next major version (v3) of their popular spatie/image package, which also powers their laravel-medialibrary package. If you're looking for an image maniuplation library without any dependencies, you should check out this version.

The latest version of the image package is a major overhaul of the internals of the library, yet the public API hasn't changed much. This version doesn't depend on the PHP intervention package; the only dependencies are the Imagick or GD extensions.

Here's an example of the fluent API you can use to manipulate and image and save an updated version:

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->sepia()
    ->blur(50)
    ->save();

If you're not familiar with Spatie's Image package, it provides a fluent API for the following image manipulations:

  • Resizing images
  • Image optimization
  • Image adjustments
  • Image canvas manipulation
  • Image effects (blur, grayscale, pixelate, etc.)
  • Image watermarks
  • And more...

Take a look at this example of how you can easily optimize an image with this package:

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->optimize()
    ->save('example-optimized.jpg');

That's a simple example, but you can customize the optimization process with more advanced options:

Image::load('example.jpg')
    ->optimize([Jpegoptim::class => [
        '--all-progressive',
    ]])
    ->save();

The easiest way to get started with this package is to read the documentation. You can also use this package in your Laravel applications via the popular laravel-medialibrary.

If you'd like to get more of a behind-the-scenes look at the Spatie Image package update, read Freek Van der Herten's detailed writeup: New major versions for spatie/image and Laravel Media Library have been released.
