Providers

Fixed

• Node: pnpm 11+ projects now build correctly by adding PNPM_HOME/bin to the PATH so the pre-install node-gyp step can be found, including when engines.pnpm uses x-range notation like "11.5.x". by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/581

CLI

New

• Mise: Updated mise version from v2026.5.18 to v2026.6.0.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/compare/v0.26.0...v0.26.1

Changes

• #926 SSH Command: Handle Identity Files
• #928 feat(volume): show status and scheduled deletion date in volume list

Providers

Fixed

• Node (pnpm): Railpack now sets PNPM_HOME to /opt/pnpm and PNPM_STORE_DIR to /opt/pnpm/store during every pnpm install so BuildKit caches the store path pnpm actually uses. This fixes missed install cache hits when newer pnpm versions write outside the old hardcoded store location. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/569

CLI

Fixed

• Config: Custom runtime images set via deploy.base in railpack.json are now applied to the generated deploy step. Previously Railpack parsed deploy.base but did not use it when building the final image; configured bases are used as the deploy filesystem and as the input for runtime apt package layers when those are enabled. by @radiantjade in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/561

• Mise: Builds no longer fail when mise.lock pins a tool version newer than the default 14-day minimum release age while your config requests latest. Host-side version resolution applies the age filter first, then falls back when a pinned lockfile version would otherwise be excluded. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/575

Providers

New

• Node: Railpack now detects and builds projects that use package.json5 manifests (in addition to package.json), including workspace and dependency parsing. If both files exist, package.json takes precedence. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/566

• Node: Node 25+ apps that use Corepack (for example packageManager: "pnpm@...") now include the mise install and shim directories in the runtime image, so package managers like pnpm remain available when your start command runs after the build. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/568

Fixed

• Node: engines.pnpm in your manifest now takes precedence over pnpm version inferred from pnpm-lock.yaml, avoiding ambiguous lockfile version mapping across major pnpm releases. See package and version resolution for how Railpack resolves tool versions. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/566

CLI

New

• Config: The provider field in railpack.json is now listed in the generated JSON schema (railpack schema), with the same values documented in the config file guide. Provider names are matched case-insensitively, so lowercase values like elixir and dotnet work as documented. by @radiantjade in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/558

• Mise: Updated mise version from v2026.5.16 to v2026.5.18.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/compare/v0.24.0...v0.25.0

Changes

• #925 feat(sandbox): railway sandbox commands (create/list/ssh/exec/destroy)

Providers

New

• Node: Package manager versions for pnpm, bun, and yarn defined in mise config (mise.toml, .tool-versions, etc.) now take priority over versions inferred from lockfiles or project metadata. Pin a version in your config—for example pnpm = "10.4.1" in mise.toml—and Railpack will use it consistently across the build. See Node.js versions and Mise configuration. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/564

Fixed

• Node: Builds using pnpm 11+ now add PNPM_HOME/bin to PATH, matching pnpm’s new layout so global tools like node-gyp install and run correctly. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/564

• Ruby: Ruby source builds no longer install rdoc, avoiding locale-related compile failures during mise install. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/564

• Elixir: Elixir provider environment variables (locale, MIX_ENV, MIX_HOME, etc.) are now applied to the mise install step so Erlang and Elixir install with the same settings as the rest of the build. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/564

• Python: Projects using Poetry, PDM, or Pipenv via pipx now also install uv, which newer mise requires when pipx.uvx is enabled. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/564

CLI

New

• Mise: Updated mise version from v2026.3.17 to v2026.5.16.

Fixed

• Mise: Generated /etc/mise/config.toml now sets minimum_release_age instead of the renamed install_before setting, matching current mise behavior. Override it in your own mise configuration if needed. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/564
