Hi,

I just noticed it was another problem.
AFAICS we don't take care of invalidating client side cache.
We should append a changing version value ?001 to any js/css file.

On another site of mine I use the first few chars from the git version hash:
css/style.css?73c

Not sure what would be the best method here.
