Release Notes

Support Policy

Athenaeum attempts to follow a release cycle that matches closely to that of Laravel. However, due to limited amount of project maintainers, no guarantees can be provided.

*: current supported version.

TBD: "To be decided".

v10.x Highlights

PHP v8.4, Laravel v13.x and Symfony v8.x

Audit Trail Formatting Changed

Parts of the Audit Trail package has been redesigned. Formatting of audit trail entries has been extracted into new Formatter classes.

use Aedart\Audit\Formatters\BaseFormatter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class UserAuditTrailFormatter extends BaseFormatter
{
    public function __construct(Model $model)
    {
        parent::__construct($model);
        
        $this->hide([
            'last_login',
            'updated_at'
        ]);
    }
}

Support for Backed Enums in DTO

enum Status: string

    case DRAFT = 'draft';
    case PUBLISHED = 'published';
    case UNPUBLISHED = 'unpublished';
    case UNDER_REVIEW = 'review';
}

class Article extends ArrayDto

        'status' => Status::class
    ];
}
