1. Adopting PSR-2 - 2:40
Upon installing Laravel 5.1, the first thing you'll notice is that the style guide is a bit different. Laravel now adopts the PSR-2 coding standard. If you're not familiar, this is nothing more than a set of style guidelines for writing code.
2. Injecting Services With Blade - 5:22
nspired by ASP.NET MVC 6, you may now inject services directly into your views. While it's not appropriate for everything, there are a number of situations where this technique will prove to be quite useful. Let me show you.
3. Elixir Improvements - 5:58
In addition to a series of optimizations and consistency improvements, in Laravel 5.1, Elixir includes EcmaScript 6 compilation right out of the box, using the excellent Babel compiler.
4. Better Testing Facilities - 6:48
If you worked through the Intuitive Integration Testing series, you'll feel right at home in 5.1. Most of that API is now part of the base install. This means, you'll be writing incredibly readable integration tests in no time.
5. Model Factories - 8:42
Whether for database seeding or general testing, you're going to love model factories in Laravel 5.1. A single line of code can give you a huge amount of convenience and power.
6. Artisan Signatures - 4:58
In the past, defining arguments and options for an Artisan command was - to be frank - a big pain. For options, you needed to create a method that returned an array of arrays, where each one contained a sequence of values. It was up to you to memorize all of this. Thankfully, in Laravel 5.1, it's infinitely easier. In fact, it's as easy as defining a route.
7. Directory Changes - 4:33
You'll find that two directory names have been changed. "Commands" is now "Jobs", and "Handlers" is now "Listeners." Don't worry; these changes won't break your code. They're backward compatible.
8. Documentation and LTS - 1:30
We don't require a code editor for this one. For Laravel 5.1, the documentation has been massively improved - with Taylor Otwell going over each and every page. Even better, we now have excellent search at our fingertips.
Not only that, but with version 5.1, your company instantly inherits long term support: bux fixes for two years, and security fixes for three!
9. Middleware Parameters - 5:48
We've already reviewed middleware parameters at Laracasts, so this episode will serve as a quick, crash-course overview.
10. Named Route Groups - 2:12
This next one is by no means a big feature, but it might prove useful in some situations. You may now apply a prefix to your named routes. I'll show you how.
