Add 'except' and 'only' methods to Eloquent Collection class.
fix count when the key is an attribute written in dot notation
Added support for non-numeric IDs used with Postgres
Update MySqlConnector.php to support Sphinx

Sphinx is one of the 4 main search engines PHP has documented and provides classes for.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/refs.search.php

Sphinx uses the mysql protocol as an interface.  The problem is when passing collate the connection to sphinx fails.  The patch will not include collate in the connection if in the config file its set to null.

Thank you

(Original Ticket #3519)
Fixed and updated some dependencies
Fix Illegal string offset 'function' on morphToMany
Support languages like Hebrew

Without urldecode() the compare look like this:
$pattern = 'אודות'
$this->path = '%d7%90%d7%95%d7%93%d7%95%d7%aa'
So it will always fail.
With urldecode it look like this:
$pattern = 'אודות'
$this->path = 'אודות'
As it should :)
