+## Ruby apps now default to Node version 22.11.0 and Yarn version 1.22.22
+
+Applications using the `heroku/ruby` buildpack that do not have a version of Node installed by another buildpack (such as the `heroku/nodejs` buildpack) will now receive:
+
+- Node version 22.11.0
+- Yarn version 1.22.22
+
+These versions and instructions on how to specify a specific version of these binaries can be found on the [installed binaries section of the Heroku Ruby Support page](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ruby-support#installed-binaries).
