Full Changelog: 8.0.11...8.0.12

8.0.11

Release 8.0.11

🔥 Added a new configuration option graphql/app-cache-enabled (default: true). This option allows disabling the GraphQL App cache.

Disabling GraphQL App chacing can be beneficial for development and testing in multi-node environments. In such setups, updating a GraphQL App Definition immediately refreshes the cache on the handling node, but other nodes may take up to graphql/app-cache-ttr to sync, potentially causing testing delays.

Main new commits

a534c51 ✨ GQL app cache can be disabled setting configuration option /graphql/app-cache-enabled->false. This helps during testing or development
