[acorn-mail v2.0.0 released](https://github.com/roots/acorn-mail/releases/tag/v2.0.0)

## Breaking changes

- **Acorn v6 is now required.** Acorn v6 uses Laravel v13, which renamed the SMTP config key from `encryption` to `scheme`. If you’re still on Acorn ≤5, stay on `v1.0.4`.
- **PHP \>=8.3 is now required** , matching Acorn v6.
- **`MAIL_ENCRYPTION` has been replaced by `MAIL_SCHEME`.** Update your `.env`:
```
- MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl
+ MAIL_SCHEME=ssl
```
- **If you’ve published `config/mail.php` to your project** , your copy still has the old `encryption` key and won’t pick up `MAIL_SCHEME`. Re-publish it or sync with the latest from [roots/acorn](https://github.com/roots/acorn/blob/387f4b046ee21fbc60abb6258ade869623a29a0d/config/mail.php).

## Bug fixes

- Fix `MAIL_SCHEME` being silently ignored, which caused SMTP sends to fall back to PHPMailer’s default and break SSL delivery on port 465 (#17).
