v2.6.2

Patch Changes

• On case-insensitive file systems, give a file watched with other casing (e.g. imported as ./B while the file is b.js) the time info of the file instead of null, so webpack rebuilds it on every change, not only the first (fixes #228). (by @alexander-akait in #358)

• fix: do not report directories created shortly before startTime as changed when the initial scan sees only directories (#295). (by @alexander-akait in #350)

  Timestamp accuracy was learned only from file mtimes, so a scan that found only directories kept the 2000ms default and flagged anything created in the 2s before startTime. Directory mtimes now lower it the same way.

• Report changes and removals macOS loses when a directory watcher starts or stops, by rescanning the watched directories once its event stream restarts. (by @alexander-akait in #354)

• Watch a missing file whose parent path is a file (e.g. src/foo/index.js, tried by a resolver alias, while src/foo is a file) like one whose parent is missing: no more ENOTDIR "Watchpack Error (initial scan)" log, and the file is reported once the parent becomes a directory (fixes #226's case). (by @alexander-akait in #360)

• When the system runs out of file watchers (ENOSPC/EMFILE, e.g. fs.inotify.max_user_watches on Linux), poll the directories it cannot watch instead of reporting their files as removed and retrying in a loop, and log the error once with a hint (fixes #46). (by @alexander-akait in #359)
