Features of laravel 5.8 Automatic Policy Resolution First up on the agenda is automatic policy discovery. In past versions of Laravel, each time a policy class is generated, you'd need to visit our AuthServiceProvider to manually wire it up with the appropriate model. It's not the end of the world, but still nonetheless a bit tedious. Now in Laravel 5.8, as long as you follow the standard naming convention, this policy discovery happens automatically.
Update Cache TTL A small, but important breaking change in Laravel 5.8 is the switch from minutes to seconds for all cache TTLs. In your codebase, track down any reference to cache()>put(), cache()->remember(), or any other variants, and do the necessary math to convert the expiration date from minutes to seconds (multiply by 60).

Features of laravel 5.8 Support Carbon 2.0 Carbon is a package that extends PHP’s own DateTime class and makes working with dates and time very easy. Laravel 5.8 provides support for the 2.0 release of Carbon. Among the new features of Carbon 2.0 is the CarbonImmutable class and a new Date facade.
HasOneThrough Eloquent Relationship Previously to get a supplier’s account history, you will have to find the supplier then write something like: $supplier->account->accountHistory. Now you may use a hasOneThrough relationship to skip this step, accessing a supplier’s account history straight away like this: $history = $supplier->accountHistory through the account model www.techtic.com | info@techtic.com
Features of laravel 5.8 Token Guard Token Hashing There is a simpler token guard which provides basic API authentication and in Laravel 5.8 it now supports storing tokens as SHA-256 hashes. This provides greater security over storing plain-text tokens.
Scheduler timezone Configuration In previous releases, you have to repeat this for every scheduled task and this can quickly become cumbersome if you have many of them. In Laravel 5.8 you can just define a method called scheduledTimezone in your app/Console/kernel.php file and return your default timezone.

Features of laravel 5.8 Artisan Call Improvements Laravel allows you to make Artisan commands from your code using the Artisan::call method.
Artisan Serve Improvements A way to quickly serve your Laravel application is by running the command php artisan serve. In previous versions of Laravel this command will run your application in a default port of 8000 and if you attempt to serve another application with the same command, this would fail. Now in version 5.8 the servecommand will scan for available ports up to port 8009 so you can serve multiple applications at once.

Features of laravel 5.8 Mock Testing Helper Methods When preparing your tests, you'll need to mock a class, set an expectation, and then update the related instance in Laravel's service container with your mocked version. Laravel 5.8 now ships with two testing helpers to simplify this setup a good bit: $this->mock() and $this->spy().
Higher Order orWhere Eloquent Method Laravel 5.8 introduces a “higher order” orWhere method, so you don’t need to write the above closure anymore.
