This was originally added in bd9f88587f (and further refined in 160ae441ff) as a workaround for issues in MySQL < 5.7 and MariaDB < 10.2 related to the default string length when using the recommended utf8mb4 database encoding.
As of Laravel 8 the minimum supported versions of MySQL and MariaDB are not affected by this issue so we're now removing this configuration / workaround in Winter v1.2.
Changed from Laravel defaults:
- Array configuration items should have their assigner operators aligned and keys should be sorted alphabetically
Removed:
- database.fetch: Removed from the default in Laravel 5.4 (and originally changed to FETCH_OBJ in 5.3) see 770c41552f & https://github.com/laravel/laravel/pull/3815
- filesystems.cloud: Removed from the default in Laravel 8.4.4 since it's not good practice to use Storage::cloud(), should use explicit disk configurations instead. See 82213fbf40
- services.mandrill: No longer officially supported since < Laravel 6.x; can use the SMTP driver instead
- services.sparkport: No longer officially supported in Laravel since < Laravel 6.x or Winter since v1.2 (third party package to reprovide driver is available but config should be manually added when desired.)
- services.stripe: Removed in Laravel v5.8.35, see 83d2ecc0e9
Explicitly not synced:
- Some calls to env(), will be addressed by future work on the ConfigWriter
- auth.php, will be addressed by future work to bring the Winter auth system more in line with the Laravel one
- cors.php, not implemented by default in Winter at the moment, plugins are available
- filesystems.php: storage.links & storage.disks.public not included because storage:link is not supported by Winter yet and further thought is needed for its inclusion.
- mail.php: markdown - Laravel's markdown mail functionality not verified to work within Winter which has it's own set of email templating logic. May be investigated and included later down the road if desired.
- sanctum.php: Laravel Sanctum is an authentication system for Laravel that is completely untested with Winter. Can be evaluated at a later date for inclusion.
* october-develop:
Support readonly and disabled fields when value is an array (#4683)
Exception handling
Improve configuration files (#5544)
Update Dutch (nl) translations (#5543)
# Conflicts:
# config/mail.php
# modules/system/classes/MailManager.php
- Introduce varcharmax config item, this default eventually should be increased to 255, when MySQL 5.6 support is dropped
- Config item can be kept to retain legacy support
- Only apply to mysql driver, previously was impacting other drivers
- Source true config values, previously was sourcing hard coded "mysql" connection values
This is currently supplied by the blueprint. This commit is a proactive step to move to config instead. Consider removing from this from blueprints in later years:
$table->engine = 'InnoDB';
