Laravel 11 (or newer) compatability

[rvschuilenburg]

The current version of October CMS is compatible with Laravel 10. However, that version became end-of-life on February 4th, 2025.

As of yesterday, there is a CVE that (i assume) is not going to be fixed for Laravel 10, since it’s EOL: NVD - CVE-2025-27515

Is there any timeline for an update to OctoberCMS that is going to be compatible with Laravel 11 (or 12)?

I’m curious, was this a well-timed disclosure or merely a coincidence…?

Hey @rvschuilenburg

The release cycle for October and Laravel is here:

Laravel Framework Upgrade Roadmap

For clarity, October CMS aims to upgrade the Laravel framework every 2 years to reduce the technical burden on the ecosystem and balance it with staying up to date. Roadmap for the next 10 years October v1 - Laravel 3,4,5 (Oct 2013) October v2 - Laravel 6 (July 2021) October v3 - Laravel 9,10 (July 2022) October v4 - Laravel 12 (Mar 2025) October v5 - Laravel 14 (Mar 2027) October v6 - Laravel 16 (Mar 2029) October v7 - Laravel 18 (Mar 2031) October v8 - Laravel 20 (Mar 2033) This plan upgra…

That’s pretty rough if version 10 doesn’t get the fix, consider it has only been 1 month after EOL.

Version 4 of October CMS codebase is upgraded to Laravel 12 already and will arrive in Beta in about a week. Unfortunately we could not upgrade this until Laravel 12 was released–only arriving last week!
