With this release, `meson test` +will only rebuild what is needed for the tests or suites that will be run. +This feature can be used, for example, to speed up bisecting regressions +using commands like the following: + + git bisect start <broken commit> <working commit> + git bisect run meson test <failing test name> + +This would find the broken commit automatically while at each step +rebuilding only those pieces of code needed to run the test. + +However, this change could cause failures if dependencies are not +specified correctly in `meson.build`. + |
