LARAVEL INSTALLER SHIPS AI AGENT SUPPORT, CASHIER FIXES WEBHOOK CHAOS

By RepoJournal · Filed 06:00 UTC on May 6, 2026 · About Laravel

The installer now speaks JSON to AI systems, while Cashier patches a critical subscription webhook bug that was throwing 500 errors into production.

Laravel installer v5.27.0 [1] lands three major features: structured JSON output for AI agent integration, Symfony 8 support, and a fix for Pest's RefreshDatabase trait. This is the upgrade you ship before you hand your deployment pipeline to an LLM. Meanwhile, Cashier v16.5.3 [2] fixes unit amount calculations when tax behavior changes — a quiet but brutal bug that could cause billing discrepancies. The v15.8.0 release [3] is equally critical if you're on the older line: it patches customer.subscription.updated webhooks that were causing 500 errors and preventing end_at from setting correctly, plus locks down address handling in Checkout. On the core side, v13.5.0 [4] integrates Vite's native font plugin instead of manual asset copying — a small win for build times. Sanctum v4.3.2 and Reverb v1.10.1 [5] are maintenance releases, though Reverb's patch is worth noting: it kills an O(N²) connection merge that was scalping performance on the hot path.
