october cms now uses version 5.5, please support laravel version 5.7. judging from the version used now it is far behind
October uses LTS releases. When the next LTS releases it will be upgraded to that.
As @Teranode said. Laravel breaks things far too often for us to be constantly upgrading the core version used, OctoberCMS will only ever use LTS releases of Laravel.
