[5.3][bug] Can't connect to MS SQL Server

[mazedlx]

Connection to a MS SQL Server doesn't work anymore under 5.3.

Steps to reproduce:

Changes in config/database.php (add to connections):

 'sqlsrv' => [
    'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'charset' => 'utf8',
            'prefix' => '',
        ]

Credentials in .env:

DB_CONNECTION=sqlsrv
DB_HOST=myhost
DB_DATABASE=mydb
DB_USERNAME=user
DB_PASSWORD=pwd

Calling a simple DB::select('select @@version') results in

FatalErrorException in SqlServerConnection.php line 14:
Declaration of Illuminate\Database\SqlServerConnection::transaction() must be compatible with Illuminate\Database\ConnectionInterface::transaction(Closure $callback, $attempts = 1)
in SqlServerConnection.php line 14

Thanks, but this is fixed in 5.3.1-dev. :)

v5.3.1 will be tagged soon that addresses this.
