What happens when buildpack is updated

All apps on our team use a buildpack named ruby_latest_buildpack. It's currently a renamed version of ruby_1_7_27_buildpack. We're about to make it become ruby_1_7_28_buildpack.

What will happen to deployed and running applications when we update ruby_latest_buildpack? If we restart an application, will it continue to run under the environment that was created by the buildpack at deploy time, or will it start to pickup features provided by the updated buildpack?

Once droplet is created(created while staging process) all the frameworks and runtime(which are essentially provided by Buildpacks) are already in Image. So if you just restart your application old buildpacks will be used. If you want to use updated buildpacks you will have to restage your application.
