Highlights of this release
- Opt-in script caching
- New aliases for using
dotnet workload search - Fixes in UNC and relative path collapsing
- Improved handling of .NET runtime reference assemblies
Script caching
The new opt-in script compilation cache is probably the most anticipated feature in this release, it enables significantly faster subsequent executions of unchanged scripts.
This new behavior is off by default, but can be enabled using Cake Configuration.
You can also configure where scripts are cached, useful i.e. if you want to cache scripts across repositories on a build agent, by default a cache folder within the standard Tools Path will be used.
