We’ve rolled out a new feature that lets you update the buildpack language version for your challenge repositories.

Until now, repositories were locked to the buildpack version available at the time they were created, which could become outdated over time. With this update, you can switch to a newer version using the CLI:

1. [Upgrade your CLI to the latest version](https://docs.codecrafters.io/cli/update)
2. Run `codecrafters update-buildpack`
3. Confirm the upgrade if a newer version is available
