v4.6.2 - Laravel 13 by default for standalone
Changes
- New standalone installs now land on Laravel 13. The skeleton's lock file ships Laravel 13.12.0, so a fresh
composer installresolves to Laravel 13. Constraints remain^12.0 || ^13.0and thetallcms/cmspackage supports Laravel 11/12/13 — existing Laravel 12 installs are unaffected and are not forced to upgrade. - Test suite hardening (standalone): registration tests now skip cleanly when the optional
tallcms/filament-registrationplugin isn't installed, and a stalecanAccessPanel()email-verification assertion was corrected.
Compatibility
- New standalone installs → Laravel 13 (PHP 8.3+)
- Existing Laravel 11/12 installs → unaffected, no forced upgrade
- Filament 5
No breaking changes. The tallcms/cms package code is unchanged from v4.6.1; this release ships the standalone skeleton's Laravel 13 default to existing installs via the auto-updater.
