Core: Upgrade to Laravel 5.7

Created on 13 Nov 2018  路  7Comments  路  Source: flarum/core

We're currently on Laravel 5.5, which is an LTS release. But I think we should still try to keep on the latest? It shouldn't be a huge amount of work to upgrade by the looks of it.

I personally think it best to push out an upgrade as soon as a new Laravel version is released. Taylor isn't really going to release a huge backward breaking version soon anyway, the framework stabilised and is mature so it all should be pretty manageable to do.

Fine with me. We can try to catch up during the next beta releases, and then try to upgrade regularly.

We need this in order to fix our problem with foreign key constraints when using table prefixes and having multiple flarum installs inside the same database.

See: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/7889

@luceos We still need to revert #1656.

1656 reverted, in all core extensions as well.

Apparently, mentions and likes were forgotten.

Did that now. :wink:

馃 odd, maybe forgot to commit them, thanks 馃憤
