compile library in IDE0016, but found in IDE0021

I was given a version of Arduino IDE v0016. It appears to be useful because code changed (e.g. Wire.cpp) will be automatically recompiled if the .o is deleted. But I do not find this convenience in the latest IDE v0021.

Am I missing something ? Wish someone can point me to a suitable document so that I can understand more about this in Development.

(probably, the Question can be rephrased as ... how to force library.cpp to recompile and be linked in v0021 ?)

No need to. Libraries are now compiled every time the sketch is.

That’s very helpful answer.

Take Wire library as an example, if I need to make a minor modification in it. The changed Wire.cpp (by me) will be compiled ‘every time’. If header is also modified, do #include “Wire.h”. Am I correct?
thanks PaulS.
