Laravel Nhif Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Laravel 13 upgrade planning: The 2.2.0 release is primarily a compatibility release. It supports decisions about whether this package can remain in the dependency set during a Laravel 13 migration.
• Dependency risk review: Adding Laravel 13 support and expanding the CI matrix reduces platform-compatibility risk, but it does not signal new product capability.
• Roadmap timing: Treat this as a maintenance/compatibility release, not a feature release. It is relevant to platform-readiness planning rather than new user-facing roadmap commitments.
• Build vs. buy / retain vs. replace: If the package’s existing functionality already fits the product need, 2.2.0 improves the case for retaining it through a Laravel 13 upgrade. It does not, by itself, justify adoption for teams needing new capabilities.
• Use cases: Best suited to teams already using or evaluating this package in a Laravel application who need confidence that it remains compatible with Laravel 13. Teams on older Laravel versions should not prioritize this release unless they are planning an upgrade.

When to Consider This Package

• Consider it when the package’s existing feature set already meets the product requirement and Laravel 13 compatibility is a gating criterion for adoption or retention.
• Consider upgrading to 2.2.0 when the application is moving to Laravel 13 or when dependency audits require supported framework versions.
• Do not treat 2.2.0 as evidence of new product functionality; release notes show framework support and CI expansion only.
• Look elsewhere if the product need depends on new features, changed behavior, or capabilities not already present in the package.
• If the team is not planning a Laravel 13 upgrade, this release is low urgency unless CI coverage or dependency policy requires it.

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

• Executives: This is a low-risk compatibility release that keeps the package aligned with Laravel 13. It protects the upgrade path but does not add new product differentiation.
• Engineering: The update adds Laravel 13 support and expands the CI matrix. No breaking changes, deprecations, or new features are indicated in the release notes. Validate in the application’s test suite and confirm dependency constraints before upgrading.
• Product: Use this release to support platform-readiness and dependency-risk decisions. Do not position it as a feature milestone; evaluate product value against the package’s existing capabilities.
