We be tag’n

With platform 2 quickly approaching and some members already using feature branches you’ll no doubt be noticing that we have begun tagging 0.1.x on quite a few packages. This is in preparation to allow members using those feature branches to lock on to a version as we make final preparations for Platform 2 release.

New Packages

cartalyst/tags

Everyone needs to tag something sometime and it’s usually an after thought. Keeping with our abstract mentality @brunofgaspar dug deep and created this little gem. It allows you to easily add tags to any Eloquent entity. That’s a huge time saver when designing your application.

The package is not marked as stable and it doesn’t have documentation at this time.
