I'm hoping to get an official fix on the Stringy library (pull request here: danielstjules/Stringy#192) but it seems the maintainer has gone dark. Will likely need to fork and wangjangle it.

[jackmcdade]

Fixed and released as 2.11.5.

This fix doesn't actually work if, like us, you choose to install dependencies via Composer rather than the ones bundled with Statamic. It seems in that case laravel/[email protected] still loads danielstjules/stringy so both copies of Stringy sit side by side and the original version takes precedence.

We managed to workaround this with the following in statamic/composer.json:

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        ...
        "Stringy\\": "vendor/statamic/stringy/src"
    }
}

@jackmcdade @simonhamp Craft CMS had a similar issue, they seem to have swapped the Stringy implementation for https://github.com/voku/Stringy (see craftcms/cms#4753)
