New Alpha Test Version Attached
2022-11-13
- Update metadata caching with dependency invalidating
This version rewrites the way metadata caching works to track dependencies and invalidated derived values when a metadata entry is updated. It potentially sacrifices speed for improved accuracy in corner cases such as
found earlier with cover_image.
It's been working correctly for me for several days, but my metadata setup is pretty modest and it does matter most with complex setups.
I am declaring this one an 'alpha' test--I judge that it is more likely to have problems than the usual test versions.
I invite users who understand that the metadata handling needs testing, and are willing to, to try it. Remember your backups.
I'm interested in both whether it's accurate and whether it sacrifices too much speed.
