First: thank you for this plugin!

I am wondering: is there a way to prevent this plugin for compiling on every build, even when nothing changed? Because that is what happens for me. Not sure why.

Hi,

Yes, there is a mechanism for that. It is off by default (for reasons lost to the history), but it can be easily activated. Please check out the usage page, Suppressing Compilation Of Unchanged Definitions section.

Best wishes, Sergei

Oh that is great to see. Sorry I missed that (I did look). Thank you.
