Release Notes

Versioning Scheme

Blogr follows Semantic Versioning. Major releases are aligned with major releases of Laravel and FilamentPHP — upgrading one generally requires upgrading the others.

Minor and patch releases never contain breaking changes. When requiring Blogr from your application, use a version constraint such as ^2.0.

Named arguments are not covered by backwards compatibility guarantees. Parameter names may change in future minor releases.

Support Policy

Blogr adopts a version-based support policy:

  • Only the latest major version receives bug fixes.
  • The previous major version receives security fixes for 6 months after the next major is released.
  • Older versions are end of life (EOL).
Version Range Status Bug Fixes Security Fixes
v1 1.0.0 – 1.32.0 🔴 EOL ❌ ✅ until Jan 7, 2027
v2 2.0.0+ 🟢 Active ✅ ✅
