If you’re already running v4.2, you can opt in right now. Open your composer.json and change your Laravel requirement:
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "^13.0"
}
Then run:
composer update
That’s it. Everything works as expected.
We’ve kept Laravel 12 as the default for v4.2 to give plugin authors time to test their packages. Starting with October CMS v4.3, new installations will automatically use Laravel 13 when your PHP version supports it (^12 || ^13).
If you haven’t updated to v4.2 yet, this release also includes eCommerce (Meloncart), Vue 3, native ES Modules, a rebuilt Data Table widget, inline field translation and more. Full details in the blog post:
