Netlify deploy works but url points at an older deployment

A few years ago we built a website for a local community arts cinema. We gave them forestry.io as a cms, and gitlab manages pulling their content and invoking a netlify deploy. That has all been working fine. Their URL (not managed by us) always directed browsers to the latest build version.

Last week this broke down since the Ubuntu version used by netlify was unsupported. I fixed that easy enough, and the build succeeded, and I though all was good. I even see the correct forestry changes on the site preview:

https://637ea963f39b430009ad1bb0--al-whittle.netlify.app/

but the URL https://alwhittletheatre.ca picks up the older version of the site, even on a browser that has never seen the site, so it is not an issue of browser caching.

I am not sure why the URL is resolving to the old site. Is there something about changing the ubuntu version that I also need to make some other change somewhere to get the DNS to correctly resolve itself to the newest changes?

Here are the build logs:

Hi @colibri-gitlab-admi1, kindly check the link below on how to manage deploys.

Let me know the outcome.

Thanks.
