❌ Shift could not upgrade your HTTP Kernel because it differed from the default version. You will need to compare this file against the default Laravel 6.0 version and merge any changes.

⚠️ Shift defaulted the following configuration files. This was done in the Default config files commit so you may easily review and backfill any of your customizations.

• config/database.php
• config/services.php

ℹ️ Laravel 6.0 changed the default Redis client from predis to phpredis. You may keep using predis by setting REDIS_CLIENT=predis for your environment. However, if possible, consider switching to phpredis to gain the performance of the PHP extension and increased community support.

ℹ️ The Eloquent model's toArray() method will now cast any attributes that implement Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Arrayable to an array. While unlikely to impact your application, this change could effect code which relies upon the previous data type or output.

ℹ️ Laravel 6.0 made performance optimizations for integer key types. If you are using a string as your model's primary key, you may set the $keyType property on your model.

/**
 * The "type" of the primary key ID.
 *
 * @var string
 */
protected $keyType = 'string';

ℹ️ Previous versions of Laravel would use parameters passed to the route() helper as URI values even if the parameter had no matching placeholder within the route path. In Laravel 6.0, these values are attached to the query string instead.

If you notice a route behaving in this way, it's likely the route parameter key and route placeholder name mismatch.

ℹ️ The mandrill and sparkpost mail drivers, as well as the rackspace storage driver were removed in Laravel 6.0. If you were using these drivers, you may adopt a community maintained package which provides the driver.

ℹ️ Previous versions of Laravel would retry jobs indefinitely. Beginning with Laravel 6.0, the php artisan queue:work now tries a job one time by default. If you want to force jobs to be tried indefinitely, you may pass the --tries=0 option.

ℹ️ While it was common to customize in previous versions, Laravel now recommends keeping the default App namespace. This will also improve your upgrade process. You can easily change it to the default by running php artisan app:name App. After doing so, you are welcome to request a rerun of this Shift.
