Product Decisions This Supports

Platform compatibility and upgrade planning: The 2.1.1 release adds support for Statamic 5, removing a compatibility blocker for teams standardizing on the current Statamic major version. This supports decisions to adopt or retain the package instead of building a custom integration.
Roadmap alignment: If your roadmap includes upgrading to Statamic 5, this release reduces the risk of carrying a stale dependency or maintaining a fork.
Build vs. buy: Continued maintenance—specifically adding support for a new major version—is a signal that the package is actively maintained. Factor this into build-vs-buy evaluations for similar functionality.
Use cases: Any Laravel product that relies on Statamic 5 and needs the capability this package provides can now include it without version pinning or workarounds.

When to Consider This Package

You are on Statamic 5, or planning to upgrade, and need the specific functionality this package offers.
You want a maintained integration rather than a one-off custom solution.
You are on an older Statamic version: confirm backward compatibility before adopting; this release note only confirms Statamic 5 support.
Look elsewhere if you need features outside the package’s scope, require a different major version, or cannot accept a dependency on a third-party package.

Executives: The package now supports Statamic 5, reducing upgrade risk and avoiding custom development costs for compatibility.
Engineering: Version 2.1.1 adds Statamic 5 support, so you can adopt or upgrade without forking or patching. Evaluate against your current Statamic version and package requirements.
Product: This unblocks roadmap items tied to Statamic 5 and reduces maintenance overhead for integrations.
