• You can now restart App Platform apps without fetching the latest changes from your app’s repository. This feature is useful for restarting apps stuck in a connection loop or deadlock.

• We have released a new Heroku-based Node.js buildpack for App Platform. It includes new features and security updates. All new Node.js apps now use this buildpack upon creation by default.

  To migrate existing apps to use the new buildpack, see our guide.
