API changes to Laravel

api-changes.md

The goal is to track all API changes to Illuminate components for the 4->5 upgrade.

If you run into any issues with using your Illuminate components the same way you did in 4, please leave them as a comment here so we can document it all.

Note that this is different from framework changes in terms of how you boot the application, structure your application, etc.--there's a separate gist for that.

Auth

Cache

• If you wanted to create your own instance of Cache so you could use ::get, ::set, etc. you would've injected CacheManager. Now, CacheManager is responsible for returning an instance of Cache Repository, which is what you now want in order to use the cache methods.

Config

Console

Container

Cookie

Database

• Query Builder & Eloquent no longer allow caching through remember(); you'll have to manually cache database results.

@weblee Thanks! I'm calling that a Framework change rather than an API change, but thanks for noting it!
