Since releasing a Public API Preview for Railway teams 

, we’ve received a lot of excellent feedback. We’ve been working with a number of external partners and are happy to report that some really cool stuff is already being built with the API.

Fixed an issue related to build caching and build speeds — builds should no longer hang as much

Improved the invite flow for adding new members to Projects
