Laravel 13.35, released on October 7, 2026, introduces several enhancements to improve everyday Laravel development. The new Route::query() method enables the registration of HTTP QUERY routes, which allow sending query information as the request body. This is useful for complex filter sets that would be cumbersome in a URL. Another feature is the dynamic model defaults, a new defaults() method for Eloquent models that can calculate default attributes dynamically based on configuration, feature flags, or the current date.
This improves testing capabilities by allowing property arrays to be used with queue, bus, event, and notification fake assertions. Additionally, Laravel 13.35 adds support for percentage-based memory limits in queue workers, making queue configuration more flexible across different environments. Lastly, the framework includes scheduler improvements for multi-server applications, helping developers determine whether a scheduled operation should run once or on every server in a deployment.
