# Upgrade Guide

**Estimated Upgrade Time: Five Minutes**

{% hint style="warning" %}
We attempt to document every possible breaking change. Since some of these breaking changes are in hidden parts of the library only a portion of these changes may actually affect your application.
{% endhint %}

### Updating dependencies

Update your `inspector-apm/inspector-laravel` dependency to `^4.4` in your `composer.json` file.

Update packages in your application by:

```
composer update
```

### Change Inspector URL

The url of Inspetor ingestion system was changed a few month ago, so if you have published the `inspector.php` configuration file in the config directory be sure that the `url` parameter is set to: **<https://ingest.inspector.dev>**

**Change the env viariable name**

In the previous package version you have installed the KEY to enable data transfer from your server to Inspector API in the application's environment file:

```
INSPECTOR_API_KEY=xxx
```

The name of this environment variable was changed as `INSPECTOR_INGESTION_KEY`, so be sure to change the `.env` file as below:

```
INSPECTOR_INGESTION_KEY=xxx
```

### What's new

* [**A redesigned version of our Middleware**](/guides/laravel/http-requests-monitoring.md#ignore-web-requests) to provide better support for http requests ignoring.
* [**Ignore Jobs**](https://docs.inspector.dev/platforms/laravel/configuration#ignore-transactions-command-url-jobs)
