It's that time of year again! Laravel is on the cusp of graduating to version 5.4. Along with it comes a variety of excellent new optimizations and features. Markdown mail, higher order collection messages, Dusk, real-time facades... yes, please! In this series, I'll get you up to speed on what's new in Laravel 5.4 as quickly as possible.
