PHP 8.2 has been released. It is a minor release compared to 8.0 and 8.1. This can be partly attributed to the departure of Nikita Popov as one of the most significant contributors to the PHP language. The PHP language has a lot of maintainers and isn't built by one person, but Nikita was one of the most active of them. Features like union types, typed properties, named arguments, and arrow functions, to name a few, were all added by Nikita.
We're proud to announce that we have released v6 of the self-hosted version of Mailcoach.

We're proud to announce that Mailcoach Cloud has been launched. Using Mailcoach, you can create beautiful email campaigns, set up drip campaigns (or any email automation), and send transactional emails.
Mailcoach works well, whether your email list has 5 or 500 000 subscribers (yes, Mailcoach has been used for lists of that size), or even more. And thanks to our sharp pricing, Mailcoach is the most affordable solution compared to our competitors in most scenarios.
Privacy-minded people will appreciate that open- and click tracking is off by default. And to people that require full GDPR compliance, we can proudly say that everything is hosted on EU servers owned by EU companies.

I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new package called laravel-dynamic-servers.
This package can help start and stop servers when you need them. The prime use case is to spin up extra working servers to help you process the workload on queues.
In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.
Here's a nice video from Povilas in which he explores our spatie/laravel-stubs package.
Here's my talk on our popular Laravel Data package, which I gave at Laracon Online earlier this week.
One of the joys of using packages in the Laravel ecosystem is how easy they are to install. Packages can be pulled in using Composer, and Laravel will automatically discover them.
In this post, you'll learn how to easily add an install command, making it even easier for package users to start using a package.
I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new small package: spatie/laravel-model-info. Let's take a look at what this package can do.
Povilas Korop of Laravel Daily made a cool video on the internals of our spatie/laravel-login-link package.

When developing web applications, you probably encounter a lot of places where someone needs to select one or more options in a select or multi-select. These select boxes always need a list of options with labels and values.
In one of our projects, we had options being generated in lots of places. Sometimes these lists of options were the same, leading to a lot of code duplication. Even worse, in some cases, different formats were used to output the same options.
That's why we've created a new package called spatie/laravel-options. It will take a resource which can create options such as an enum, a list of models or even a plain array. And will always create a standardized array of options you can use within your frontend application.
We've released a new package called spatie/laravel-sql-commenter. This one can add comments to SQL queries. These comments allow you to easily pinpoint the origin of a query when looking at your query log.
