What does versioned mean?
[edit]What does versioned mean here? Nischayn22 (talk) 20:13, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- It refers to whether the load.php request url contains a
versionquery parameter. All requests generated bymw.loaderin JavaScript are versioned. The only unversioned requests are: 1) the startup module, 2) the stylesheet. Both are referenced from cacheable page HTML. Versioned responses never change and may be cached for a long time. (Whenever their modules change, the version changes too and therefore the url won't match). The unversioned response from the startup module is relatively small and should be cached for a short period of time to ensure deployments and upgrades apply quickly. This then bootstraps the front-end environment and all other modules loaded after will use the latest versions and are cacheable for much longer, given they are loaded from versioned urls. - See also ResourceLoader/Features.
