Hi! Welcome to the very late release post for VVV v3.2.0.
The biggest change is that we no longer use vvv-custom.yml, we’ve moved to config/config.yml. VVV will auto-migrate the file on the next command ran after update, and the format is still the same. We also changed site provisioning to log output to log files instead of the terminal. Terminal output should be much smaller and friendlier. We’ve also fixed a number of Hyper-V/Parallels/VMWare bugs.
Check out the changelog for more details on what changed in VVV 3.2
