ALPHA Homestead v8 Upgrade notes ALPHA

*** STOP! STOP ! STOP!***

If you are not comfortable debugging Vagrant and Homestead STOP NOW!

This is an ALPHA release! It is not for the faint of heart.

You will need the version_9 branch of Homestead

• New “Feature” syntax to install optional services or tools such as Golang, MariaDB, etc.

Syntax to enable GoLang and MariaDB:

features:
    - golang: true
    - mariadb: true

• Added support for PHP 5.6 & 7.0
• Blackfire Support has been moved to a feature and must be defined as such within Homestead.yaml
• Z-Ray support has been removed
• If you are using Laravel Dusk or any other Webdriver utility you will need to enable the webdriver feature.
• Dot net core support has been removed.
• Ruby & Rails support has been removed.
• Site types have been moved to a folder to appear more obvious how they work/what they are.
• Probably more I'm forgetting...

Instructions
