- Prism for AL 1.9.1.0 SE Setup x64.msix
- PERFORMANCE TIP: For optimal graph loading performance, please review your anti-virus path exceptions. The exclusion paths were changed in version 1.9.0 due to heavy file activity during graph building.

Local application data file performance and anti-virus programs
When Prism for AL meets a package for the first time,
the individual source files are cached in the file system. Likewise, Prism for AL uses
the file system heavily when generating a code graph. Anti-virus programs can
slow down these processes significantly, so you may consider excluding Prism for AL's local application data path
(this is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Statical\PrismAL and/or a corresponding MSIX virtualized path)
from being scanned.
No matter which anti-virus program you are using, please use Prism for AL's Help | Optimize Prism Package Cache Performance menu to copy to clipboard a PowerShell script that excludes Prism's local application data paths from Windows Defender. You need to run the script as administrator. If you use a different anti-virus program, you can read the paths to exclude in the script.

Road map
The following items are on our radar for the next releases:
- Additional functionality enabled by graph queries, such as commit analysis, CRUD analysis, and publisher reachability
- Visibility of interface implementations
Our road map and product backlog is very much driven by community input. Please email us your ideas—big or small—to feedback@stati-cal.com.
