The new @aware Blade Directive

This week, Laravel 8.64 was released, and with it came a brand new `@aware` Blade Directive that allows child components to easily access parent component data when needed.  Here is an example showing it in action: 

Get Ready for PHP 8.1

PHP 8.1 has been in development for a while now and the PHP team has started releasing RC version for testing. For some, it's not been a simple upgrade like most previous versions of PHP and for that reason, it's recommended to start testing your apps on it before the official release. To help you get ready Laravel Sail just added support for PHP 8.1 and you can use it to test that your apps are ready.
