Real-Time Logs
Enhanced log streaming with improved reliability and real-time delivery.Custom Subdomain Management

- Smart file tree sorting
- Localized error messages
Bug Fixes

- Fixed notification delivery during data migration
- Fixed horizontal overflow in responsive dashboard header
- Fixed various bugs in project creation wizard flow
- Fixed crash loop detection for containers with syntax errors
- Fixed custom domain DNS record verification
Breaking Changes
- Snapshot system — Replaced previous backup/commit system. Old backup endpoints are deprecated.
- Authentication — New session-based authentication. Existing API keys continue to work.
- Workspace endpoints —
/v1/organizations/*renamed to/v1/workspaces/* - Auto-restart behavior — Now includes crash loop detection with automatic disable
- Free plan cleanup — Inactive projects are deleted after 30 days (with email warnings)
v26.1 — March 25-26, 2026
Bug Fixes
- GitHub deployment file deletion — Fixed deployments aggressively removing
.envand untracked configuration files - App file deployment preservation — App updates now preserve existing local files instead of wiping untracked content
- Metrics collection — Fixed metrics not being collected for some running applications
- Metrics display — Fixed missing network fields, null value crashes, and duplicate time labels on charts
- UUID validation — API route parameters for app and database IDs now validate UUID format, returning 400 for invalid values
- Environment variable deletion — Fixed the delete endpoint call from the dashboard (was missing the env ID in the URL path)
- Environment variable key editing — Fixed the key input not updating when editing an existing environment variable
- Upload overlay text color — Fixed low-contrast description text in the commit upload progress dialog
Improvements
- vertracloud.config persistence — The config file is now written to the app directory on creation, ensuring future uploads inherit the configuration
