When will Laravel 12 be released?

Laravel 12 is scheduled for release in Q1 2025. It will receive bug fixes until Q3 2026, and security fixes until Q1 2027. Exact dates will be announced later.

What new features can we expect in Laravel 12?

Laravel 12 will introduce a variety of changes and new features. These are the most important ones.

  • MD5 will be replaced by the much faster xxHash
  • Models that make use of the HasUuids trait, will now use UUID v7 instead of UUID v4.
  • When using MariaDB, Laravel will utilize native MariaDB CLI commands instead of relying on MySQL equivalents.
  • Chunked queries will now honor user-defined limits

A complete list of merged Laravel 12 pull requests can be found in the laravel/framework repository on GitHub.
