What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

- **changed** — Sandbox.fork() now calls the POST /v2/sandboxes/:name/fork endpoint to copy the source sandbox's env and image server-side instead of implementing fork on the client-side

###### Minor Changes

- Support the sandbox fork API. Instead of implementing fork on the client-side, `Sandbox.fork()` now calls the `POST /v2/sandboxes/:name/fork` endpoint, which copies the source sandbox's env (and image) server-side. ([#259](https://github.com/vercel/sandbox/pull/259))
