Framework 13.25.0 lands a global queue pause switch that eliminates the burden of managing 14 individual workers, while Vite fixes dev server cleanup bugs that haunted hot-reload workflows.

Laravel framework v13.25.0 [1] and v12.66.0 [2] both shipped overnight, the 13.x release including a critical new global pause switch for queues [3] that lets you stop all queue workers without touching maintenance mode, solving the operational nightmare of pausing dozens of individual queues that shift names with deploys. A follow-up fix is already in development to handle Redis Cluster cross-slot errors that emerged from the pause feature [4], so watch for v13.25.1 within hours. On the build-tool front, Vite plugin v3.2.0 [5] landed with fixes for null addresses on the dev server and prevention of hot file cleanup when running Vite, addressing long-standing friction in local development loops. The Laravel skeleton app v13.9.0 [6] hardened its GitHub Actions workflows and now declares @laravel/multiplex as an optional dependency [7], letting npx use the local binary on macOS and Linux rather than downloading it fresh on every artisan dev run. Across all 4 repositories, 14 commits, 9 PRs, and 4 releases shipped in the last 24 hours, with two additional PRs still developing: JobReleased event support for queue workers [9] and Blade directive argument stabilization in Nightwatch [8].
