Miscellaneous

Enable file sync on every compilation

Version 1.8 has been rewritten to skip the DBAFS sync if the files already exist. This saves a database call and logic for each output file and improves compilation time.

To enable the old behaviour, use following in your config.yaml

# config/config.yml
contao_theme_compiler:
  file_sync: true
