Hey folks, Remember Blaze? That tool I demo'd at Laracon for massively speeding up your Blade/Livewire pages? Welp, v1.0 goes out tomorrow on-stream during the Laravel Worldwide Meetup at Noon EST. Since demoing it to you, we completely rewrote it (imagine that) to be way faster and more reliable. Here's a taste of what to expect: ​ And that's just the baseline. Wait till you see what memoization and folding do. Here's the YouTube stream link: ​ See ya tomorrow! -Caleb ​ Unsubscribe | Update your profile | 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246

Today's the day! 🎉 It's been 10 months of work and years of dreaming, but Livewire 4 is finally here. ⚡⚡⚡ In the words of Ian Landsman, "I feel like Livewire 4 settles all family business 🚬" It's true, this release addresses so many papercuts and limitations I've wanted to break through for so long. There are heaps of new features of course, but just know that those are the tip of the iceberg . Huge portions of the deep internals of Livewire have been completely rewritten to be way smarter, more performant, and more flexible. Here's your roadmap to diving into v4: Step 1: Watch my YouTube video Check out this 5-minute YouTube video of me demoing a Livewire 4 app: ​ Step 2: Read the announcement post Here's a blog post highlighting all the new features to give you a good overview of what's going on: ​ Laravel News: Everything new in Livewire 4 → ​ Step 3: Watch the Laracasts series There's a brand new Laracasts s...

Yoooo...Caleb here, Livewire 4 is getting too good to stay in beta. Next week Wednesday we're going to drop the full release with a Laracasts series to celebrate 🎉 To tease you, I just recorded a video of a new feature I added this week that makes animations in Livewire unbelievably simple and powerful. ​ The release just keeps getting better and better and I now feel bad for anyone on v3 lol. (Psst... all the new stuff is in today's beta release) V4 docs: https://livewire.laravel.com/docs/4.x/quickstart ​ See ya next week! -Caleb ​ Unsubscribe | Update your profile | 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246

Hey everyone 👋, Whew, what a hustle the last few weeks have been. Between running a conference, giving a keynote, tagging Livewire 4 beta, and writing all new documentation, I've been...busy. ⚡ Wire:Live 2025 For starters, thanks to everyone who came out to my home town for Wire:Live. It was a smash hit and went way beyond my expectations. So many Livewire die-hards showed up to hang out, watch talks, and hack on cool stuff together. I've never been more grateful for this wonderful community ❤️ ​ If you couldn't make it, we published all the talks from the day for free on YouTube: ​ ​ Go watch the talks from conference day → ​ 🚀 Livewire 4 beta release Since the conference, we've released a beta of Livewire 4 and fully documented all the new features and the upgrade path for you.

Heyyyyy, We're hard at work on the Livewire 4 beta over here at HQ. I spent the week rewriting Livewire's entire component resolution system so that it works beautifully with the new single/multi-file components but is completely backwards compatible with normal class-based components. While I was at it, I decided to add a new namespace system to Livewire components: ​ This way, people with more modular app structures will be able to organize their components accordingly. This is just one of the many things I've wanted for Livewire and am finally taking the time to implement. My next task is making sure slots and islands are as bulletproof as possible . Wish me luck 🙏 🎁 Good stuff coming to v3 While we've been working on v4, we've made tons of reliability improvements and bug fixes that we realized shouldn't be held up for v4. My right-hand-man, Josh Hanley, is currently back-porting all those improvements and will be tagging a ...
