This release is basically the same as beta 5, with a few minor bug fixes.
I did manage to sneak in one handy little feature:
-
Automatic titles for roles and abilities.
If you don't specify a
titlefor a role or ability, Bouncer will intelligently add a meaningful title for you 👍
A note on version compatibility
Bouncer currently supports Laravel all the way back to 5.1 and PHP all the way back to 5.5. This has understandably put a tremendous burden on maintaining Bouncer.
When Bouncer 1.0 is released, it will only support Laravel 5.5+ and PHP 7.1+.
If there are no show stopping bugs found with this RC, the next RC will no longer support these older versions of Laravel & PHP. If you're still stuck on these older versions, you can continue using Bouncer with this release until you're ready to upgrade.
