[v2.6.2] JS files are not minified in release mode if "pdb-only" is selected in project settings

[JechoJekov]

When "pdb-only" is selected in project settings -> Build -> Advanced -> Output the compiler does not minify the output JS files. By default this option is set for new projects created in VS.

This may not be categorized as a bug, however, it is unexpected and can be puzzling when happens. Perhaps the "Optimize code" option can be used to decide if the JS file should be minimized. This SO question explains how to check if it was turned on during compilation:

Don't know if it should be considered a bug, but I do agree with you. At least in v3, the options will be

• DebugInfo = full: Non-minified script, source maps,
• DebugInfo = pdbonly: Minified script, source maps,
• DebugInfo = none: Minified script, no source maps.
