Bug in updating fontcache
Last modified: 2008-08-30 12:29:52 UTC
I'm having an issue with people updating SuperDateTime to 7.2 not having their fontcache updated to reflect font changes that have been made. Per Triode he advised me: Touch your font file so that it is newer than the server font files. This should cause the cache to be ignored when the server is restarted. The cache currently looks for the newest font file and compares its mtime with that of the cache. So if you update your file but it is still older than one of the other font files then the update gets ignored. Should be fixed (thought I'd done so already, but it turns out I've only fixed the plugin cache not the font cache). ------ Triode advised me to file a bug so that the following can be implemented in 7.2.1: Store the sum of mtimes for all font files in the cache and use this to validate it when it is loaded. Thats what the plugin cache now does which works well - we already read all the mtimes, so it no more work, just means bumping the cache version to store another field in it.
fixed in change 22980.
