 # Changelog
 
+- **Perf** `vp run` starts faster in workspaces whose tasks share cache `input` and `output` patterns: each distinct pattern is now parsed once instead of once for every task that uses it. In a 138-package workspace, this saves about 2 seconds of CPU on every run ([#887](https://github.com/voidzero-dev/vite-task/pull/887)).
 - **Perf** When tasks miss the cache, `vp run` no longer waits for the disk after saving each task's result, so the run finishes sooner. If the computer loses power or the operating system crashes during `vp run`, the cache entries that the run saved can be lost, and those tasks run again next time instead of hitting the cache ([#871](https://github.com/voidzero-dev/vite-task/pull/871)).
 - **Fixed** Running `vp run` in a package that sits inside a workspace folder but isn't listed in its `pnpm-workspace.yaml` `packages` or `package.json` `workspaces` now runs that package's own tasks, instead of treating the enclosing workspace as its root. When both configurations exist, `pnpm-workspace.yaml` takes precedence ([#859](https://github.com/voidzero-dev/vite-task/pull/859)).
 - **Fixed** A mistyped or misplaced setting in a task now gets an error that names it. For example, `cache: { outputs: [...] }` now fails with an `unknown field` error that names `outputs` and lists the accepted settings, instead of `data did not match any variant of untagged enum UserTaskDefinition` ([vite-plus#2635](https://github.com/voidzero-dev/vite-plus/issues/2635), [#815](https://github.com/voidzero-dev/vite-task/pull/815)).
