As Boris was writing his excellent Laravel 4 tutorials here on Codeforest, I often asked him about Laravel 4 release date. Soon, he said, watch the web.

And the day has come, Laravel 4 is released officially with all the goodies, new website and other great stuff and all that on Taylor’s birthday. Coincidence? I think not.

Two hours ago Laravel Twitter account said:

I'm so glad to announce the official release of Laravel 4! New and improved site and documentation. Get it! http://t.co/jRc64bb6qG — Laravel (@laravelphp) May 28, 2013

What to say? Few hours before the release Jeffrey Way of Nettuts released his book on Laravel testing and Dale Reese, a member of core Laravel team released his book for begginers called Laravel: Code Bright – Web application development for the Laravel framework version 4 for beginners.

They updated their website, the documentation, API documentation and it is all available on Laravel official web as well as a 5 minute quickstart.

I am really more excited than should be, but all of the above is proof of an awesome community and obviously an awesome PHP framework.

As Laravel 4 is built so you can use it for small RESTful APIs or huge enterprise level applications, I am eager to see how developers will adapt to the new version.

And don’t think it’s over:
