Evolution CMS 2.0 Beta Aligns with Laravel 6

A release-era post about the moment Evo 2.0 beta aligned with Laravel 6 and why that was a meaningful platform milestone, not just dependency churn.

Framework alignment changes more than a version number. In the Evo 2.0 beta cycle, the move toward Laravel 6 mattered because it stabilized the path to release around a fresher component base and reinforced the project’s direction as a Laravel-oriented CMS platform.

The earlier Telegram updates around September 2019 show that this was part of the final stretch before release: finish the main work, pull in the needed framework components, and move toward a more stable beta state.

Why this belongs in the release timeline

it marks a meaningful platform dependency milestone
it helps explain the technical context behind Evo 2.0 beta progress
it shows how the roadmap and framework layer were moving together
