Group By With Pagination in Laravel 6.0.4.

[ronlinet]

I am using Query Builder pagination with Laravel 6.0.4 which works well but the Laravel 6 documentation suggest that pagination should not be used with group by

The same citation about group by and pagination has been taken out of the Laravel 8 documentation.

Is the Laravel 6.0.4 documentation out of date?

Example of my working Group By with pagination with Laravel 6.0.4:

Thread::join('participants as p', 'p.id', 'threads.id' )
   ->join('messages as m', 'm.thread_id', 'threads.id' )
   ->join('users as u', 'm.user_id', 'u.id' )
   ->select
   (
       array(
           'u.email as creator',
           'p.*',
           'threads.*',
           'threads.id as id'
          )
   )
   ->latest('threads.updated_at')
   ->groupBy('threads.id')
   ->paginate($numberOfPages)
