Ballerina packages updates
Improvements
Introduced an experimental build option to enable memory-efficient compilation of package dependencies. This can help prevent out-of-memory issues during the initial compilation with a clean central cache. Pass the flag to the bal
command or specify the build option in the Ballerina.toml
file to enable this experimental feature.
$ bal build --optimize-dependency-compilation
Specifying the build option in the Ballerina.toml
file:
[build-options]
optimizeDependencyCompilation = true
