Pushing a change to your project results in a Preview Deployment. Then, once you're ready, merging it into master results in a Production Deployment with the domain of your choice.

May 2020·Changelog
  • Dashboard
    • Environment Variables inserted in the Project Settings can now contain newlines. Copy and paste your value, or use Shift + Enter to submit values with newlines.
    • A new Contact page has been launched, which allows for easily creating support tickets or reaching out to our sales team.
    • No more "Visit" tooltip is rendered when hovering a deployment URL. Instead, the "Visit" button on the deployment view can be used.
    • The "Functions" tab on the deployment view now clearly defines that logs are realtime and need to be forwarded to a third party for retroactive inspection (storing).
    • Opening the Team Settings doesn't automatically focus on the Team URL anymore.
    • Environment Variables in the Activity feed are now truncated in length.
    • On the installation page for our command-line interface, the vercel package is now recommended instead of the legacy now package.

    • Introduced a limit of 100 Environment Variables per Project.
    • Made "Ionic Angular" or "Docusaurus 2" templates work again.
    • Signing up with a Git account that is already connected to a personal Vercel account will now offer you to log in instead of erroring.
    • Signing up with a Git account that has the same email address as a personal Vercel account will now offer you to merge them instead of creating a new one.
    • Trying to log in with a Git account that is not connected to a personal Vercel account will now log you into a personal Vercel account that has the same email address.
  • Domains
    • Removing a domain now triggers a cascade of events that will clean up all of its associated Aliases, Certificates and DNS Records from the system.
  • Deployments
    • Selecting "Other" in the list of framework presets, overriding the Build Command and then creating a deployment containing vercel.json and a few static files does not cause an error anymore.
  • Documentation
    • A new permanent property was added to the configuration reference of the new redirects routing property.
    • The configuration reference for the routes property now makes it clear that it cannot be used in conjunction with the new routing properties.
    • An example was added to each of the System Environment Variables.
  • Git Integration
    • The vercel.json and .vercelignore configuration files are now supported for GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket.
  • Command Line
    • A new package named vercel was published to npm and it comes with support for vercel.json, .vercelignore and two binaries named vercel and vc.
    Today, we have some very special news regarding the evolution of our company.
    ZEIT is now Vercel. This new identity aligns with our new focus — to provide the ultimate workflow for developing, previewing, and shipping Jamstack sites.
    Towards that goal, we are thrilled to also announce that we secured $21M in Series A funding. Accel and CRV are our lead investors, alongside Naval Ravikant, Nat Friedman, Jordan Walke, and others.
