Livewire 4 is hereeeeee!

Today's the day! ๐ŸŽ‰

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 ๐Ÿšฌ"

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:

Step 3: Watch the Laracasts series

There's a brand new Laracasts series I poured my heart and soul into where we'll build the aforementioned app (from the YouTube video) together:

Step 4: Upgrade your app

Fear not, upgrading to Livewire 4 is easier than any release yet. Mostly config changes and a few lesser-used API changes.

We've also made sure that the ecosystem is read for v4: Laravel Boost, Pulse, Starter Kits, Volt, Flare, etc...

Step 5: Enjoy!

Now, just bask in the glory of your new Livewire 4 app ๐Ÿ˜ฎ‍๐Ÿ’จ
