Laravel News

A retrospective celebrating Filament's fifth anniversary, tracing the Laravel admin panel framework's evolution from v1 (March 2021) through v5 (January 2026). Key milestones include: v1 proving the TALL stack could power a production admin panel; v2 splitting the monolith into composable packages (Forms, Tables, Notifications) and adding reactive forms and dark mode; v3 introducing multi-panel support, multi-tenancy, and the Infolists package; v4 delivering a 3x performance improvement and unifying actions and schemas; and v5 enabling compatibility with Livewire 4 with no new features but a full rebrand. The team plans no further major releases in 2026, focusing instead on incremental improvements and community events.
