We've gathered 740,000+ installs on Packagist. From a tiny router in 2019 to a whole ecosystem, and the three busiest months we've had. We wrote up the journey, numbers and all 👉🏾 blog.leafphp.dev/posts/740k-…

Hi PHP fam, this one is worth two minutes of your Friday. A stock Leaf app sits outside the affected group, but there is no reason to leave the door open. Add this to your php.ini or .user.ini and restart. It has to be an ini setting, ini_set() at runtime won't take it. You can flip it back after the next PHP release 🤞🏽 #PHP #PHP2Shell

Updated Leaf releases are out for the PHP2Shell fixes: leaf CLI v5.0.10, MVC v5.2.2 and Aloe v4.5.6. Every Docker scaffold we ship now runs on patched PHP (8.4.27 / 8.3.36). Leaf itself didn't need a code change, just update your PHP 👌🏽

And this is all you need to get a job that runs once a month on Monday, no config anywhere 🚶🏾‍♂️

We had an amazing launch week for Leaf 5, thanks for all the support folks! Today we're spotlighting our integrated QA tool, Alchemy. Alchemy runs your QA setup (Pest/PHPUnit, CS, static analysis, CI) from one YAML file and works with Leaf, Laravel, Wordpress, ... 👉 alchemy.leafphp.dev/

We had a pretty big launch yesterday, so here’s a list of our most popular features so far - Error screens with user journeys + AI export - Schema files, real git-like behaviour for your DB - Alchemy, a whole QA pipeline in one file 👉🏽 Get started @ leafphp.dev

one of the biggest things we realized while building Leaf 5: your codebase isn’t only going to be read by humans anymore. So we redesigned Leaf with agents in mind 🤭

Been quiet here for a minute we haven't been quiet elsewhere though Leaf 5 pre-release next week 🍁 blog.leafphp.dev/posts/from-…
