Upgrading Laravel 4.1 to 4.2

Question

I was wondering if i could get some advice from people that have upgraded Laravel 4.1 to 4.2

I have had a look at the upgrade guide on the Laravel.com website and it says to add a new cipher option.

So, i added the following to my app.php file

'cipher' => MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256

But when i do

composer update

and then run php artisan --version, it still says Laravel 4.1.30

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I think you need to update your composer.json to require "laravel/framework": "4.2.*"... maybe?
