Does docpad always regenerates everything?

[João D.]

Hey,
 
Got a website working that has 4 layouts and around 320 eco files. 
Whenever I change and eco file or add a new one (static pages that generate 
html), does docpad always regenerates everything?
 
Is there some config or change that I can do to just (re)generate the leaf 
html (that no other file depends on) that is changed?
 
Thanks :)

Hey Joao,

Thanks for the question. This thread here https://github.com/bevry/docpad/issues/336 should provide some more light on whats going on. While we definitely don't re-render everything when you make changes, we do re-render things that have to be re-rendered (for instance content listing pages, rss feeds, etc as they may reference the document you changed!).

Let me know if it is still unclear, cheers!
