            Description

            As reported on the forum browsers are keeping old javascript, causing fatal
            application problems. We need to implement a system where the user never has to
            manually clear their cache.

              Do we have a good approach to fixing this?

              • encode version number "153" in filename
              • encode hash signature of icefaces-d2d.js in filename
              • set cache headers (maybe not so good; we want it to be cached, just not cached across versions)
              • encode protocol version in messages for server detection
