v9.0.0-alpha1

ALPHA Homestead v8 Upgrade notes ALPHA

STOP! STOP ! STOP!

If you are not comfortable debugging Vagrant and Homestead STOP NOW!

This is an ALPHA release! It is not for the faint of heart.

https://app.vagrantup.com/laravel/boxes/homestead/versions/8.0.0-alpha1

You will need the version_9 branch of Homestead

• Base box upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04
• New “Feature” syntax to install optional services or tools such as Golang, MariaDB, etc.

Syntax to enable GoLang and MariaDB:

features:
    - golang: true
    - mariadb: true

• Blackfire Support has been moved to a feature and must be defined as such within Homestead.yaml
• Z-Ray support has been removed
• Postgres default to version 11
• If you are using Laravel Dusk or any other Webdriver utility you will need to enable the webdriver feature.
• Dot net core support has been removed.
• Ruby & Rails support has been removed.
• Site types have been moved to a folder to appear more obvious how they work/what they are.
• Probably more I'm forgetting...

Instructions

• Add the following to Homestead.yaml: box: v8.0.0-alpha1
• checkout v9.0.0-alpha1 of the Homestead repo.
• Ensure you have converted any extra options to the new "feature" syntax (See Upgrade Notes)
• vagrant destroy -f && vagrant up
