* Adopt PSR-2 coding style
The Laravel framework adopts the PSR-2 coding style in version 5.1.

[PSR-2 coding style guide][1] for more details and check out [PHPCS][2]
to use as a code formatting tool.

Jobs are self handling by default in Laravel 5.2.

Laravel 5.2 adjusts the `Guard` object used within middleware. In
