@larson-carter Laravel 10 support is available. It's in the non-default branch of version 1.7.(https://github.com/thedevdojo/voyager/tree/1.7) (https://github.com/thedevdojo/voyager/releases/tag/v1.7)

But Laravel 11 support would be really great.

We need laravel 11 👍

[larson-carter]

@schruptor Yes, laravel 10 works great on that 1.7 branch (I think that it is stable enough for it to be on the default branch, just needs to be merged). However, there is no Laravel 11 support.

Maybe if I get time in a few weekends I will come back and make 11 support unless someone beats me to it.

I think it will take a while (if it will ever be done...), because the loss of Doctrine DBAL seems like a gigantic undertaking for Voyager to overcome 😔

[larson-carter]

@cotiga I completely agree. 11 was a big jump over 10, heck really 9.

I do think that there are a different items that make this upgrade quite a challenge.

I just do not know of any alternatives that do the same functionality and are as modern/flexible.

We have to create adaptable version for all

[duran004]

I don't think there is a big jump from laravel 10 to 11, just some folders have been deleted, a simpler skeleton and now the project is started via bootstrap, that's all.

[larson-carter]

@duran004 Laravel 10 to 11 is quite a massive jump under the hood. It is not just folders being deleted or hidden.

Internal kernel functionality has been significantly modified.

That 1.8 branch is still a work in progress. It is still not fully compatible with Laravel 11 though as the TCG\Voyager\Database\Types; still uses the deprecated Doctrine DBAL.

A lot of the BREAD functionality really depends on that Doctrine DBAL package which is no longer compatible with Laravel 11.

[bobbyiliev]

Quick update on the above, the 1.8 branch now works with Laravel 11.

This release includes some bug fixes and package updates to make it compatible with Laravel 11 with one exception:

Warning

As of Laravel 11 the Doctrine DBAL package has been removed from Laravel. This currently breaks the Voyager Database Manager. We are working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, you can just use the Laravel Database migrations to manage your database instead. The Voyager database manager might get deprecated in the next release.
