Will it be upgraded to Valet V4?

[mreduar]

Hi, I wanted to ask if you are planning to upgrade to the recently released version 4. It brings good improvements, but I see that this repository has not been updated in a long time and is way behind the fork. I guess it must be difficult to keep it up to date on the Windows side as it must be very different.

I would also be interested in a Valet v4 version. If you need help supporting this and are willing to share ownership I might be able to help.

Not sure but looks this project is abended. is it ?

@cretueusebiu Are you still maintaining this? If not would you be willing to open it up to contributions?

I think it would be easier to just port it again from the original code.
I can give access to the repo if you or anyone else wants to help.

If we are going to do that it might make sense to approach Taylor and see if we can get him to include these changes in the original so that it supports both Mac and Windows.

Just how difficult / easy was it to take the Mac version and make it work on Windows?

[cretueusebiu]

Back in the original version or version 2 things were pretty simple but now there is bit more code to manage with all the added features.
The problem is that there isn't 100% parity between the Mac and Windows version so on the Windows version you have to find some alternatives and "hacks" and I don't think they would want to make so many changes in the original code for Windows support.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like Laravel 11 will require 8.2 which would take a few changes in the php download script. Maybe update nginix to the latest? I would like to work on this as well.

Hi everyone.
I've been working on my own fork of valet windows, since this one is no longer maintained, and I hope to release it as Laravel Valet Windows 3 in the near future. I hope to gain as much parity as possible. I've already completed various additions and updates inline with the mac version, and including some PRs from this fork.

I've not yet added it to packagist and I'm in process of writing some docs for it. However, you should be able to still use it via a composer repository requirement with the namespace ycodetech/valet-windows. This is still in active development, so breaking changes could happen at any point.

For any further suggestions, issues or PRs please make them in my new fork.

Collaborators are welcome, just let me know.

Edit

Laravel Valet Windows 3 has been officially released as 3.0.0! Install it with composer global require ycodetech/valet-windows

Matt, who is maintaining the official Valet, had a PR going for multi-OS support but decided it was too much maintenance. And I believe that didn't even include Windows yet...
