Laravel 5 is due to be released in the next few weeks. Is your app likely to ready before then? If not, why not just use L5 right now?

Hi e4rthdog,

Take a look at: http://laravel.com/docs/master/upgrade

I could do that. My concern would be if i have the docs available since i am a newbie. the docs in DEV section are for 5.0?

I just saw it, but i prefer to be clean and have normal 5.0 installation......

Laravel 5 is pretty stable as it is but updates are being done daily. I would install the dev-develop branch and start coding on it, come November, you should be nearly done and you can check things still work or adjust if needed.

It will be pretty easy to update, especially if you use the legacy service providers. I wouldn't expect it to take longer than 20 minutes for a small app.

If the app is new; I would just start building it with the dev-master of Laravel. I wouldn't expect much to change from now to the release of Laravel 5.
