Laravel which version to use if starting a new project?

Hi Guys, I'm new here in dev.to. I wanted to get some help regarding the Laravel Version for Development. I am planning to start a project on Laravel. What do you think will be the best Laravel Version to start the project?

Thanks,
Cheers

Just use the latest (5.8), support for the latest Long Term Support Version (5.5) will stop only 6 months later, so it's not worth it as you'll lose some of the new features.

You can see a recap of the release process here : laravel-news.com/laravel-release-p...

Thanks Nicolas. Using 5.8 Now.

Use the lastest (as of now 5.8). It's the quickest way to upgrade to the next LTS version (6.0) which is coming in a few weeks from now.
