With a PHP project we have just started, we decided to begin development with the Laravel 5 framework – even before it’s been released. The framework is due to be released this month (Jan 2015) and instead of starting with Laravel 4 and attempting to migrate upwards, it seems natural to begin with the newest version even though it’s features might change slightly pre-release. Being comfortable developing with both PHP and Laravel 4, some of the changes with version 5 seemed quite major.
