Thanks Hongbo! In particular I’ll be testing the pinned package support.

@Hongbo Thanks a lot for your work! I tested the same project again that I previously tested with the dev versions (see Call for testing: bs-platform@8.4.0-dev.2) and things worked fine.

The only minor issue I noticed is that when I had an “unused value” warning in a pinned dependency (guide-common), the packages depending on it (guide-web, guide-app) were recompiled every time I invoked bsb -make-world from the project root, even if nothing had been changed in any package.

Once I resolved this warning, there were no further recompiles when invoking bsb -make-world again.

If you are on mac, can you check if this is fixed by 8.4.2-dev.1 which provides better granularity tracking

Yes, this is indeed fixed in 8.4.2-dev.1! :tada::+1:
