# About 5.x

Laravel PayU 5.x has been completely rewritten keeping in mind all the goodies that latest Laravel provides.

# Compatibility

# Database Driver

Previously it did support a Session driver. Which was good on its own but it limited the capabilities of Laravel PayU quite a lot. So in 5.x it is all database driver only. Which is a good thing for audits and other retry capabilities.

# Fluent Interface

Now the entire payment api has been changed to conform to objects. It now segments various concerns like Customer, Transaction and Attributes.

Also, the gateways has been implemented using Polymorphism with different classes like PayuBiz and PayuMoney rather than passing simple array key.

# New Commands

# Publish

Now the publishing config migration or view has been made quite simple by running payu:publish. You can find more on that by running php artisan payu:publish --help

# Payment Verification

Now it comes with a new payu:verify command. Which verifies the Failed & Pending transactions. More on that can be found in the Features / Verification section.
