In our previous discussion about UI performance, we proposed setting far-in-the-future expire times for jQuery files and other non-portal javascript library resources. In order to do this, we'll want to rename all non-portal javascript files with their version numbers, or place them in a directory that contains a version number. This change will likely be helpful anyway, since it means it will be easy to identify which version of jQuery UI, etc. we're using.
This will affect the theme files somewhat, as we'll need to change the javascript imports to reflect the renamed files. In the future we'll also need to update these imports whenever we update the corresponding javascript. My sense is that although this will affect merges, it's still worth doing for the 3.0.1 release. Is this something we can implement for 3.0.1, or is this likely to cause sufficient merging pain for people that we should wait or re-evaluate our plans? - Jen -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
