This release should not contain any breaking changes from the 7.0 series of Cashier; however, thanks to a community contribution, the release does add automatic support for more Stripe webhooks. The following webhooks are now automatically handled by Cashier unless you…

As you may know, Forge allows you to upgrade to new major releases of PHP. However, beginning today, you can upgrade to the latest patch release of PHP within your current major version. For example, if your server is currently running on PHP 7.2.2, you can upgrade to PHP 7.2.11 (or whatever the latest patch release happens to be). You can upgrade your server’s PHP version on the “PHP” tab of the server’s management panel. Note that any PHP upgrade can cause downtime on your server — so take special care when performing these operations on production servers!

Bitbucket’s 2.0 API does not have feature parity with their old API; therefore, after creating new servers, you will need to manually add the server’s SSH key to your Bitbucket account. Unfortunately, Bitbucket does not allow adding SSH keys to a user’s account using an OAuth2 access token — they may only be added using the password, “apppassword”, and session authentication methods. When installing a Bitbucket repository onto your Forge server, Forge will display the SSH key that you will need to add to your Bitbucket account:

Today we are launching support for custom SSH ports on Forge. Previously, all SSH traffic from Forge used the default port 22. Beginning today, you are able to customize this port when creating a Custom VPS: In addition, using the server’s “Meta” tab, you may adjust the SSH port for existing custom VPS servers as well as existing first-party servers on DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS, and Vultr:
