v0.17.0

Providers

New

• Node & Python: We've added automatic Playwright support for Node.js and Python projects. Railpack now detects Playwright dependencies and automatically installs the required system packages and browsers. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/348
• Shell: The shell provider now supports a mise install phase, allowing you to define tools to install before your script runs. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/433

Fixed

• Node: Consistent Node version resolution is now used when Bun is the package manager. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/359
• Node: Trailing whitespace in the packageManager field of package.json is now handled correctly. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/432
• Node: Improved detection of version files (like .nvmrc) using Mise's idiomatic parsing. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/431
• Python: Builds are now faster for projects using psycopg-binary as unnecessary system dependencies (libpq-dev) are skipped. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/379
• Python: .python-version files are now reliably detected in all environments. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/378

CLI

Fixed

• Dockerignore: Negation rules (e.g., !file) in .dockerignore now work correctly even if the referenced file does not exist locally. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/437
• Config: The provider field is no longer required in railpack.json. by @iloveitaly in https://github.com/railwayapp/railpack/pull/436
