Vercel released several updates in January 2020, including automatic deployment of the latest Node.js version for new deployments, and changes to domain management, such as making all production domains unavailable when deleting a project and automatically deleting unconfigured domains after 7 days. The platform also introduced new endpoints for retrieving real-time stream of requests and failed requests for a deployment. Additionally, Vercel improved its CLI tool by not uploading files starting with .env, unless specifically named .env, and enhanced support for adding new frameworks to the platform. These updates aim to improve the speed, reliability, and developer experience on the platform.
