From 574b285efa1658fd6d82d673e2063be659d5f624 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Heiser Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2025 16:53:36 +0200 Subject: [mod] remove option ui.static_use_hash (cache busting) (#5004) Cache busting has caused serious problems for users in the past, here are two examples: - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4419 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4481 And it makes development and deployment significantly more complex because it binds the client side to the server side: - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/4466 In the light of a decoupled development of the WEB clients from the server side: - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/4988 is it appropriate to abandon this feature. In fact, it has been ineffective since #4436 anyway. However, the benefit has always been questionable, since at best only a few kB of data are saved (at least in the context of an image_proxy, the effect is below the detection limit). Ultimately, the client is responsible for caching.
