Laravel Framework v12.69.0 is out on GitHub. The release contains two pull requests, both authored by Mior Muhammad Zaki (crynobone).

The first change disables HTML by default in the tooltip of the Laravel exception page. Previously, tooltip content could be rendered as HTML; it now defaults to plain text unless explicitly enabled.

The second change affects authentication: Laravel now checks that the password hash matches the value stored in the cookie before authenticating the user. This guards the remember-me cookie flow against stale or tampered cookies.

Both changes come from crynobone, the only listed contributor. The release is tagged on the 12.x branch. The referenced pull requests are #61381 and #61386 in the laravel/framework repository.
