Awesome job, hope it will be accepted soon :)

This PR is targeting 1.4 which is fine because there is no other branch to target, but a maintainer should consider starting a new release branch and leave 1.4 for the 5.5, 5.6, 5.6, and 5.8 releases.

Can we drop support for 5.5? This version supports PHP 7.0 which is EOL now.

It would also allow us to merge #388.

I would prefer to drop all except 6.0. As Laravel 6.0 requires 7.2 and 7.1 is EOL later this year.

If a maintainer agrees should the required PHP version also be updated.

[stephandesouza]

There is no master branch to send this PR. But on Readme I already prepared this PR for a 1.5 version.

I agree with dropping EOL and near EOL versions of PHP and Laravel.

I'm not really involved in the project anymore, but seeing that unfortunately no one else went ahead and reviewed/merged it, I did so. New version will be released as 1.5 and will drop support for older Laravel and PHP versions.
