Hmmm. Im not sure. This wasnt working for me in dev or production. And the timestamps are there in both environments.You are right about what theyre meant for though. I read about it here http://ahref.in/79887
Its explained a bit more in detail in the API under the Using Asset Timestamps section http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/AssetTagHelper.html "This allows you to set a cache-expiration date for the asset far into the future, but still be able to instantly invalidate it by simply updating the file" I updated my JS files in my project in dev but it dint work. Everything following that line in the API, goes right over my head. He's talking about setting a future cache expiration time.. dont quite grasp that.
