** Sage 10, Acorn, Bud
------------------------------------------------------------

Sage 10’s actual final release is something that’s now within reach! Sage 10’s most recent release is 10.0.0-beta.2

In beta 2 we replaced Laravel Mix with Bud, our new lightning fast build tool (https://github.com/roots/bud) !

Acorn, a requirement to use Sage 10, is similar to what sage-lib was in Sage 9. Acorn seeks to bring elements of the Laravel ecosystem not just to Sage, but to any plugin or theme. It provides a way to gracefully load a Laravel application container inside of WordPress while respecting the WordPress lifecycle and template hierarchy.

This means you get access to Laravel’s artisan commands through the use of wp acorn. You can utilize Blade for on-the-fly rendering of your Blade views. You gain access to third-party packages built specifically for Acorn. And we provide some first-party components as well, such as view composers and assets management.

Please take a look at our Sage 10 docs (https://roots.io/docs/sage/10.x/installation/) and Acorn docs (https://docs.roots.io/acorn/2.x/installation/) … but just a heads up, there’s still some areas we’re aware of that need updating! Also check out Bud’s guides and docs (https://budjs.netlify.app/) .


** trellis-cli
------------------------------------------------------------

trellis-cli (https://github.com/roots/trellis-cli) finally reached 1.0 in November and it’s gotten a lot more improvements even since then. If you use Trellis, you should be using the CLI too! It makes managing Trellis projects so much easier (and less annoying). To get its full potential, make sure you’re using the autocomplete (https://github.com/roots/trellis-cli#autocompletes) and automatic dependency management (https://github.com/roots/trellis-cli#virtualenv) features.

trellis-cli is perfect for CI/CD workflows as well which is why we created the setup-trellis-cli (https://github.com/marketplace/actions/roots-setup-trellis-cli) GitHub action to make it really easy to automate deploys of Trellis projects on GitHub.
