Performance Improvements

File Watcher Performance

The file watcher system has been optimized by adding proper ignore patterns for missing sub-folders and new files in those folders. This reduces unnecessary file system operations and improves the overall development experience by:

• Decreasing CPU usage during development
• Reducing unnecessary file processing
• Improving responsiveness when making changes to project files

Impact Summary

This patch release addresses two critical bugs that were affecting development workflow and GraphQL functionality in Strapi v3.0.0-alpha.25.

The file watcher improvements ensure that developers experience fewer errors and better performance during development by properly ignoring certain file patterns, particularly for missing sub-folders and new files in those folders.

The GraphQL plugin fix resolves a significant issue with primary key detection in mutations and queries, ensuring that data operations through the GraphQL API work correctly. This is particularly important for applications that rely heavily on GraphQL for data access.

While this is a minor patch release (from alpha.25 to alpha.25.1), the fixes it contains are important for maintaining a stable development experience with Strapi during the alpha phase.
