⚠ Laravel 5.2 adds Middleware Groups for convenience. Since this may affect your routes and controllers, I did not automate this upgrade. You should read about Middleware Groups to understand this change.

When you are ready to upgrade to Middleware Groups, you should:

• Compare your app/Http/Kernel.php with the 5.2 version
• Compare your app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php with the 5.2 version
• Review any usages of the web middleware within your application

ℹ Laravel 5.2 changed the value of $redirectTo from /home to / in app/Http/Controllers/Auth/AuthController.php. I did not make this change since you may have customized it for your app. However, you may wish to change this if you are not using Auth or if you want to follow the latest Laravel conventions.

ℹ Laravel 5.2 updated the database session driver. If you are using the database driver, you need to add the user_id (nullable integer), ip_address (nullable string), and user_agent (text) columns to your session database table.
