We're excited to announce a new version of Laragon, packed with exciting new features and enhancements designed to improve your development experience!

What's new:

• Significant engine improvements: Laragon now runs fully native on 64-bit, with major engine improvements for faster service start/stop and seamless performance.

• High DPI Support: Laragon now fully supports High DPI displays, providing a crisp and clear user interface, even on 8K monitors.

  There is a License Type button on the top right menu, allow you to deactivate your license-key easier.

• PHP Auto Update: Laragon automatically detects and adds the newest PHP version to your system. This allows you to try a new PHP version with the latest features, security updates, and bug fixes effortlessly.
  Auto Update & Auto Backup can be toggled via Preferences:
  

• cacert.pem Auto Update: An outdated cacert.pem may prevent Composer from working correctly, affecting package installations and updates. Laragon ensure cacert.pem is always up-to-date to keep your PHP environment remains compatible with newer CAs, and make your projects running smoothly.

• Faster Quick-app & Quick-app: Experience significantly improved speed when using Quick-app and Quick-add.

• [Quick-app]: Laragon now supports Laravel CLI, making it easier to create customizable Laravel starter kits. It automatically installs Laravel CLI, so you can start building without extra setup.
  You can put this to your Quick-app's Configuration:

Laravel CLI=laravel new %s
Laravel Starterkit Vue=https://github.com/laravel/vue-starter-kit/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.2.zip
Laravel Starterkit React=https://github.com/laravel/react-starter-kit/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.1.zip

• MySQL improvements: By default, your MySQL password is empty. For security reasons, it's recommended to set a password. With Laragon 8, you can easily do this via: Menu > MySQL > Change root password. In case you forget, [Get root password] will provide you the password from Clipboard.
  [Auto Backup] will automatically backup your MySQL databases. If you want to backup on-demand, just clik [Backup all databases]. [dir:backup] will open the backup folder.

Laragon 7.0.6

Laragon - The Dev Environment for Entrepreneurs v7.0 2025
Note: Starting from this version, a license is required to use Laragon. This change allows me to prioritize support for users who contribute financially to the continued growth of Laragon.

New features:

• Auto backup: Laragon 2025 will auto backup data dir every 1 hour and keep 5 recent backups.
• Profile: Laragon 2025 introduces the Profile feature, allowing you to create multiple environments with different versions. You can easily add and switch between environments via Menu > Profile

Note: From Laragon 7.0.2, the default pretty URL is {name}.test.

• The default pretty URL will be {name}.localhost. This eliminates the need to modify the hosts file in Laragon, enhancing security. This simplifies multi-tenancy development by allowing multiple subdomains (e.g., tenant1.app.localhost, tenant2.app.localhost, tenant3.app.localhost,...) to route to the same application code of app.localhost, with each subdomain representing a different tenant.

• Enhanced Tool > Path > Add Laragon to Path: When you add Laragon to the Path (so you can call all service inside Laragon system-wide), it will automatically update the Path whenever a service version or profile is changed.

Update:

1. Update PHP 8.3.14
2. Update Node 22.12
3. Update MySQL 8.4.3
4. Update Apache 2.4.62
5. Update Nginx 1.27.3
