How do I make doctrine support timestamp columns?

Question

I'm trying to apply the following migration:

Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->timestamp('created_at')->useCurrent()->change();
});

But artisan says:

  [Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException]
  Unknown column type "timestamp" requested. Any Doctrine type that you use has to be registered with \Doctrine\DBAL
  \Types\Type::addType(). You can get a list of all the known types with \Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getTypesMap(). I
  f this error occurs during database introspection then you might have forgot to register all database types for a
  Doctrine Type. Use AbstractPlatform#registerDoctrineTypeMapping() or have your custom types implement Type#getMapp
  edDatabaseTypes(). If the type name is empty you might have a problem with the cache or forgot some mapping inform
  ation.

When I try to install mmerian/doctrine-timestamp (composer install mmerian/doctrine-timestamp), composer says:

  [InvalidArgumentException]
  Could not find package mmerian/doctrine-timestamp at any version for your minimum-stability (stable). Check the pa
  ckage spelling or your minimum-stability

What do I do?

UPD With composer require mmerian/doctrine-timestamp=dev-master, I was able to install the package, then added Type::addType('timestamp', 'DoctrineTimestamp\DBAL\Types\Timestamp'); before Schema::table statement, but now I've got the other error:

  [Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
  SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1067 Invalid default value for 'created_at' (SQL: ALTER TABLE u
  sers CHANGE created_at created_at INT DEFAULT 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' NOT NULL)

UPD I checked again if it works with mmerian/doctrine-timestamp, since I added only first of the lines from the docs back then (or the doc was updated):

Type::addType('timestamp', 'DoctrineTimestamp\DBAL\Types\Timestamp');                                          
DB::getDoctrineConnection()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('Timestamp', 'timestamp');

But it doesn't help as well. The migration succeeds, but the column definition doesn't change.

hi~ you can use "datetime" type:

 Schema::table('orders', function ($table) {

        $table->datetime('pay_time')->nullable()->change();

    });
