Same thing is happening for me.

Ok. Let me know if you find a solution (i will ofc do the same).

The best solution is to adjust your views to use the new style of raw Blade tag:

{!! Form::open() !!}

https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/833d90073da404df4b5b94c182f931b5c239fa10/src/Illuminate/View/Compilers/BladeCompiler.php#L33-L38

There was a important change 1 or 2 days ago in Blade. Now both {{ }} and {{{ }}} are escaped by default. To render raw code use {!! !!}} like:

{!! Form::open() !!}

Taylor has given some information about the changes here:

https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/new-blade-tag-for-unescaped-data-thoughts

You change change the settings back to use {{ }} with this if wanted:

Blade::setEchoFormat('%s');

Where do we put that statement? In every view? controller calling the view? Base controller construct method for a global effect?
